some short and selected math problems of different levels in random order I try to keep the ans simple
We have by definition triangular number t_k = \frac{k(k+1)}{2}
So t_{3k}+t_{4k+1}
= \frac{(3k(3k+1)}{2} + \frac{(4k+1)(4k+2)}{2}
= \frac{(9k^2+3k}{2} + \frac{16k^2 + 12 k + 2}{2}
= \frac{25k^2+15k + 2}{2}
= \frac{(5k+1)(5k + 2)}{2}= t_{5k+1}
