Exercise Question 2 (Page 176) Can you write 𝑡_5, 𝑡_6, 𝑡_7 and 𝑡_8 for the sequence of triangular numbers? Our Triangular Numbers are 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, … The pattern here is Difference between terms keeps increasing by 1. We add 2, then add 3, then add 4, then add 5, and so on Here, 5th term = 𝒕_𝟓 = 15 6th term = 𝒕_𝟔 = 15 + 6 = 21 7th term = 𝒕_𝟕 = 21 + 7 = 28 8th term = 𝒕_𝟖 = 28 + 8 = 36
