hard Sequence and Series Question!! (1 Viewer)

[kevda1st]

Its probably under harder 2unit in extension 1 but here's the question! please help

1,3,6,10,15....are called triangular numbers

Use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series to find the 30th triangular number.

Use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series to find the 30th triangular number.

1 = 1
3 = 1+2
6 = 1 + 2 + 3
10 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4

30th number will be

30/2 (2 + 29 x 1 ) = 465

1, 3, 6,10,15,.......

New set of series you can make from top
1+2+3+4+5+6+......
true since 1+2 = T2 from original
1+2+3 = T3 from original
1+2+3+4 = T4 (" ")
so on....

a= 1 n=30 d= 1

s30= 30/2 (2x1+(30-1)x1)
= 15x31
= 465

lol kev, cya

Sorry, I know this was a post a LOOONNGG time ago but why is d=1? Though you did say you made a replica series with 1+2+3+4+5... but may I ask of how exactly you derived that? If anyone passing this knows, please reach out. I'm sorry if it's a intuitive question, I just don't get the reasoning behind it yet. Thanks!
