Problem 61

The nth triangular number is

T(n) = n(n+1)/2

I'll rewrite this into

T(n) = 0.5n(n+1)

The triangular number right after this is

T(n+1) = 0.5(n+1)(n+2)

I replaced every n with n+1 and simplified

Let's see what we get when we add up the two expressions

T(n) + T(n+1)

0.5n(n+1) + 0.5(n+1)(n+2)

0.5n^2+0.5n + 0.5(n^2+3n+2)

0.5n^2 + 0.5n + 0.5n^2 + 1.5n + 1

n^2+2n+1

(n+1)^2

This shows that the sum of any two consecutive triangular numbers results in a square number

Here's a few examples

  • 0+1 = 1
  • 1+3 = 4
  • 3+6 = 9
  • 6+10 = 16
  • 10+15 = 25

Note each sum is a perfect square, which visually would plot out a square figure.

For quick reference, the set of the first few triangular numbers is {0, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55,...}

<h3>Answer: Square number</h3>

==========================================================

Problem 64

Let's say we go with n = 5.

This means,

T(n) = 0.5n(n+1)

T(n-1) = 0.5(n-1)(n-1+1)

T(n-1) = 0.5n(n-1)

T(5-1) = 0.5*5(5-1)

T(4) = 10

This says that when n = 5, the 4th triangular number is 10

Triple that result and add on n = 5

3*T(4) + n = 3*10+5 = 35

This result is beyond obvious which category of figurate number it belongs to. It's not a triangular number since it's not in the form n(n+1)/2. It's not a square number either.

Through a bit of trial and error, you should find it's a pentagonal number

Pentagonal numbers are of the form n(3n-1)/2

If you plugged n = 5 into that, it leads to 35

n(3n-1)/2 = 5*(3*5-1)/2 = 5*14/2 = 70/2 = 35

The diagram shown below represents the first few pentagonal numbers. The number of blue dots corresponds to the pentagonal number itself. Note the equal spacing when dealing with dots on each segment (eg: some interior blue dots are midpoints, others are quarter points, etc.)

<h3>Answer: Pentagonal number</h3>

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

distributing gets you 8x+ 12= 2x-2 +6x+14

8x+12=8x+12

when both sides are simplified, they are equal to each other. This means that there IS a value of x that would make the perimeters equal

not sure what the drop down answers are so hope this helps

A length is measured at 21 cm correct to two significant figures, what is the lower bound of the length and upper bound?
Andreyy89

Answer:

20.5 and 21.5

Step-by-step explanation:

It says 2 significant figures so the least it can possibly be is 0.5 less and the most it can be is 0.5 more as if it was, lets say 20.4 it would round down to 20 not 21.

Kiran says that a solution to the equation x+4=20 must also be a solution to the equation 5(x+4)=100 Write a convincing explanat
Helen [10]

Answer:

x+4=20 is a solution to 5(x+4)=100.

Step-by-step explanation:

Following PEMDAS, divide 5 from both sides of the equation 5(x+4)=100, and you have x+4=20 remaining.

This means that both equations have the same solution.

A dealer bought 3 gross buttons at $.38 a dozen. He sold the buttons at 5 cents each. How much was his profit per gross?(12 doze
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

$2.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling them at 5 cents each ($0.05), he could sell 1 dozen buttons for

12 * $0.05 = $0.60

As he bought them at $0.38 per dozen, the profit per dozen would be

$0.60 - $0.38 = $0.22

As 12 dozen is 1 gross, the profit per gross would be

12 * $0.22 = $2.64
