2 Chapter- II TRIANGULAR NUMBERS A triangular nuber is a nuber obtained by adding all positive integers is equal to a given positive integer n, i.e., Tn = Eft = «(«+1)= = *=' As shown in the rightost ter of this forula, every triangular nuber is a binoial coefficient: the triangular is the nuber of distinct pairs to be selected fro n +1 objects. In this foi- it solves the ^handshake proble' of counting the nuber of handshakes if each person in a roo shakes hands once uu'ith eclcvi 0 person. The sequence of triangular nubers for n=l, 2, 3...is: 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, Relations to other figurate nubers Triangular nubers have a wide variety of relations to other figurate nubers. Most siply, the su of two consecutive triangular nubers is a square nuber. Algebraically, " "-' ^2 2^ 2 2 ^ ^ There are infinitely any triangular nubers that are also square nubers; e.g., 1, 36. Soe of the can be generated by a siple recursive forula:

3 20 S,,=4S (SS +l)withs,=^l. All square triangular nubers are found fro the recursion S = 345 _, -S _2 + 2 with So =0 and Si =1. Also, the square of the triangular nuber is the sae as the su of the cubes of the integers 1 to n. nuber, The su of the n first triangular nubers is the tetrahedral in)(n + l)(n + 2) 6 More generally, the difference between the n"" -gonal nuber and the n"" (+l)-gonal nuber is the (n-l)"" triangular nuber. For exaple, the sixth heptagonal nuber (81) inus the sixth hexagonal nuber (66) equals the fifth triangular nuber (15). Every other triangular nuber is a hexagonal nuber. Knowing the triangular nubers, one can reckon any centered polygonal nuber: the centered k-gonal nuber is obtained by the forula Ck =kt _,+\ where T is a triangular nuber. Other properties Every even perfect nuber is triangular (given by forula, M 2"'' =M {M +\)I2 = TM, wherem is a Mersenne prie), and no odd perfect nubers are known, hence all known perfect nubers are triangular. In base 10, the digit root of a triangular nuber is always 1, 3, 6, or 9.

4 21 Hence every triangular nuber is either divisible by three or has a reainder of 1 when divided by nine: 6=3x2, 10=9x 1 + 1, 15 = 3x5, 21 =3x7, The inverse of the stateent above is, however, not always true. For exaple, the digital root of 12, which is not a triangular, is 3 and divisible by three. The su of the reciprocals all the triangular nubers is: OO 1 00 "1 223^ = 2. 2 This can be shown by using the basic su of a telescoping series: CO 1 tf«(«+!) Two other interesting forulas regarding triangular nubers are: and both of which can be established either by looking at dot patterns or with soe siple algebra. In 1796, Geran atheatician and scientist Carl Friedrich Gauss discovered that every positive integer is representable as a su of at ost three triangular nubers, writing in his diary his faous words,

5 22 "Heureka! nu = A + A + A." Note that this theore does not iply that the triangular nubers are different (as in the case of 20 =10 +10), nor that a solution with three nonzero triangular nubers ust exist. This is a special case of Ferat's polynoial nuber Theore. The largest triangulai- nuber of the for 2* -1 is Tests for triangular nubers One can efficiently test whether a positive integer x is a triangular nuber by coputing VSx + l-l n =. 2 If n is an integer, then x is the triangular nuber. If n is not an integer, then x is not triangular. In this chapter, two paraetric representations of the ranks of three triangular nubers T^,T^,T^ satisfying the equation r +r^ =27^ are found. Also explicit forulas for the ranks of triangular nuber which are siultaneously equal to pentagonal, hexagonal, heptagonal, and octagonal nubers in turn are presented, and deterine pairs of triangular nubers whose ratios are non-square integers. Also a few interesting relations aong triangular nubers are presented [25] and [42].

6 23 Theore 2.1 The two paraetric representations of the ranks of three triangular nubers T^,T^,T^ satisfying the equation T^+T^=2T^ are a = ~{^ -n^ -ln-\),h = -{^ +n^ -1), c = -(^ -n^ +2n-\), where, n are integers such that >n,-nsl (-n)2 > 2n2+ 1. {od2) and Proof By the standard definition of triangular nuber, r. = ^....(2.1) Using (2.1), the equation Ta+T,-2T,...(2.2) is written as ' Multiplying both sides by 4, we get 4a (a+1) + 4c (c+1) = 2 x 4 b (b+1). By writing coplete squares, we get (2a +!)'-! + (2c +1)' -1 = 2[(2b +1)' -1]. (2a + l)^+(2c + l)' =2(26 + 1)^ If we take 2a+l = X, 2c+l = Z and 2b+l = Y,...(2.3) then we get X^+Z^=2Y\...(2.4) which is a Diophantine equation of second degree.

7 24 This shows thaxx^,y^,z^ are in Arithetic progression. To find three squares X^,Y^,Z^ are in Arithetic progression, we ust have Y^ -X^ =Z^ -Y^ (or) 2Y^=X^+Z\ Introducing the linear transforations X = p-q, Z = p + q,...(2.5) the equation (2.4) becoes X'+Z'=ip-qy+(p + qy=2{p'+q') = 2Y\ i.e., p'+q'=y\ which is the well-known Pythagorean equation and whose solution is given by p = 2 - n2, q = 2n, Y = ^ + n^, where and n are distinct positive integers. In view of (2.5), we have X = 2 - n2-2n,'z = 2 - n2 + 2n. Thus, fro the equation (2.3), we obtain a = (^ -n^ -2n-\), 2 cz=-(^ -rp- +2n-l). 2 For a, b, c to be integers, the values of and n should be chosen such that > n, - n SE 1 (od2) and ( - n) 2 > 2n2 + 1.

14 The identity T^=0^, leads to the equation 31 (w + l) = r(3r-2).- i.e., ^ \- = 2r{3r-2) = e{r^ ^).

T and Ts are denoting the triangular

19 36 nubers. First derives the recurrence relation aong triangular nubers. The triangular nubers satisfy the following recurrence relation. Recurrence relation 2.1 Proof By the standard definition of triangular nubers, the "" triangular nuber is given by 7;= (,«+ 1)....(2.39) Replacing by -1, +] in (2.39), we get T x=- -{-\ + \) = (-\),^ ^ "-' 2 2,...(2.40) T,,=^-Y^( + 2) = -( + l) + ( + l) = T^+ + l....(2.41) The equation (2.39) can be written as T =-(-l + 2) = -(-l) + -T,_,+....(2.42) Fro the equation (2.41), we get T..^-T,=+1...(2.43) Fro the equation (2.42), we get T.-T.r=...(2.44) Fro the equations (2.43) and (2.44), we get ^+1 "~2r^ +r _, = 1, which is the required relation.

20 37 Exaple 2.1 If we take =2, then 73= 6, third triangular nuber,7^2 =3, the second triangular nuber and T^ =l,the first triangular nuber. Thus r,,-27;+r., = = 1.. Identity 2.1 The su of triangular nubers can be expressed as the polynoial in s. i.e., Yj'^=-s{s + \){s + 2) = ^^^^Ts, where T^is the s'^ triangular nuber. Proof The "' triangular nuber is given by Thus tt, = t~{ + \) = -t[rn +\ 1 ^ -y ^ =\ =l = U\s{s + \)Cls + \) + ]-s{s + X)\ = ^s{s + \){^{2s + \) + \\ = 5(5 + l)(25 + 4) 12 = -s{s + \){s + 2). 6

22 39 Identity 2.3 The su of cubes of triangular nubers can be expressed as a polynoial in s. i.e., -^7;'= r,(30^'+180/+366^'+26%' ), where T^ is the s"' triangular nuber.

Thus ±Tj =Y\-'^{ + \)f =\±\ + \) =1 =1 '^ O n,=1 1 * = -J^\^ +3^ +3 + l) o =\ =l =l =l _ 1 s(s + l)(6s' +I5s' + 6/ - 6s' -s + l) 3s\s + l)(2s'+2s-l) ~8 42 ^ s(s + l)(6s' +9s'+s-r)+ ^ ^ ]. 1, ^^,,6s'+l5s'+6s'-6s'-s + l) s(s + l)(2s' + 2s) = ~s(s +1)[( ^ = -^[60^' +3605" +7325' +528^' ] ^ -[305^ +1805" +3665^+2645^ +I65-I6]. 840

23 Thus ttj = ^ Z (3O5' +1805" ' ' ). ".=1 R40 ^ ^ 40 It is interesting to note that there are soe perfect nubers like 5, 28, and 490 aong triangular nubers. There are soe repeated digits of nubers like 66, 666 aong triangular nubers. It has been observed that there exist triplets of the triangular nubers in Arithetic progression. But there are no triplets of the triangular nubers in geoetric progression except 1,6,36. One ay search for the other triangular nubers which are in arithetic progression. It has seen that the presentation of explicit forulas for the ranks of triangular nuber which are siultaneously equal to pentagonal, hexagonal, heptagonal, and octagonal nubers. The researching for the other pentagonal, hexagonal, heptagonal and octagonal nubers could be relatively seen. The further observation of pairs of triangular nubers whose ratios are non-square integers. One ay search for the other triangular nubers whose ratios are non-square integers.
