    1. Find the average of the roots of the following:
    3x 5 15 x 4 + 9 x 3 2 x 2 9 x + 17 = 0

    2. Find a triangular number for each of the following:


    a. Smallest two triangular numbers that are also a perfect numbers.
    b. Using the following recursive function, find the first five triangular
    numbers that are also perfect squares. Determine which triangular number
    each is. S n = 34 S n 1 S n 2 + 2 where S 0 = 0 and S1 = 1
    c. Prove that Tn 1 + Tn = n 2 . Illustrate with several values.
    d. Prove that Tn2+1 Tn2 = (n + 1) Illustrate with several values.
    3

    e. Every other triangular number is a hexagonal number, with


    List the first five hexagonal numbers verify that they work in the formula
    for the hexagonal numbers: 2n 2 n
