Q

Is the representation of the numbers in the form of an equilateral triangle arranged in a series or sequence. These numbers are in a sequence of 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, and so on. The numbers in the triangular pattern are represented by dots.

Q

When you multiply an integer (a “whole” number, positive, negative or zero) times itself, the resulting product is called a blank. So, 0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144, and so on, are all square numbers.

Q

What’s the formula for Fibonacci Sequence?

A

Fn = Fn − 1 + Fn − 2

22
Q

the cube of a number n is its third power, that is, the result of multiplying three instances of n together. The cube of a number or any other mathematical expression is denoted by a superscript 3, for example 23 = 8 or (x + 1)3.
