Algebraically, it is the number of queries: n+1. That's traditionally how you write such a number, not 1+n.

It's the number of queries not a sentence of "we did 1 query, then we had to do n queries."

This isn't algebraic. Going from one to many queries may be arithmetically the same as going from many to many plus one queries, but operationally, the implications are different.
