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>

select all the sets that are the three side lengths of right triangles A.8,7,15 B.4, 10, √84 C. √8, 11, √129 D. √1, 2, √3
Semenov [28]

Answer:

<h3>B.4, 10, √84 </h3><h3>C. √8, 11, √129 </h3><h3>D. √1, 2, √3</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

For any set of three side length of a triangle to be a right angled triangle, the sum of the square of the two of the sides must be equal to the square of the longest side according to pythagoras theorem.

The longest side is always the hypotenuse

For option D, 2 will be the longest side. Since 2 is the hypotenuse, the sum of the square of other two values must be equivalent to the square of 2,

= (\sqrt{1})^{2} +  (\sqrt{3})^{2} \\ = 1=3\\= 4\\= 2^{2} (hypotenuse)

This shows that √1, 2, √3 are three sides of a right triangles.

Similarly for option C, the hypotenuse is √129 being the largest.

To show the sides are that of a right triangles;

= (\sqrt{8}) ^{2} + 11^{2} \\= 8 + 121\\= 129\\= (\sqrt{129})^{2} \\

Since the resulting  value is the square of the hyp, then √8, 11, √129 are three sides of a right triangles.

For option B; 10 is the hypotenuse being the longest sides, To show the sides are that of a right triangles;

=4^{2}+(\sqrt{84})^{2} \\ = 16+84\\= 100\\= 10^{2}

Since the resulting  value is the square of the hyp, then 4, 10, √84  are three sides of a right triangles.

Only option A is wrong since 15² is not equal to the sum of 8² and 7².

Adrian has 12 pounds of coffee. He wants to repackage the coffee into bags of 2/3 pounds. How many bags of coffee can he make?
levacccp [35]

Answer:

18 bags of coffee

Step-by-step explanation:

12 divided into 2/3 is the same as   12 multiplied by 3/2

12 x (3/2) = 18

18 bags x( 2/3) pounds of coffee  each  = 12 pounds of coffee
