Find the next 5 triangular numbers.
(a)
Answer to Problem 3CYU
The next 5 triangular numbers:
The next 5 triangular numbers:
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A number is triangular if it can be represented visually by a triangular array.
The first triangular number is 1. Find the next 5 triangular numbers.
Concept Used:
The first
Calculation:
The first triangle has just 1
The second triangle has another row with 2 extra dots, making 1+ 2 = 3
The third triangle has another row with 3 extra dots, making 1 + 2 + 3 = 6
The forth triangle has another row with 4 extra dots, making 1 + 2 + 3 +4 = 10
The fifth triangle has another row with 5 extra dots, making 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +5 = 15
The fifth triangle has another row with 6 extra dots, making 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +5 + 6 = 21
Thus, the next 5 triangular numbers:
(b)
Write a formula for the nth Triangular number.
