If $T$ is the $n^{th}$ triangular number, how could you express $T$ in terms of $n$?
What happens if you multiply that expression by $8$ and add $1$?
If you're finding it hard to prove the conjecture, you might like to print out these proof sorter cards, and then cut them out and rearrange them to form a proof. Alternatively, you can use this interactive proof sorter.
For the second conjecture, if you're finding it hard to prove, here is another set of proof sorter cards for you to print out and rearrange, and another interactive proof sorter.
This is an interactivity in which you have to sort the steps in the completion of the square into the correct order to prove the formula for the solutions of quadratic equations.
Can you correctly order the steps in the proof of the formula for the sum of the first n terms in a geometric sequence?
Try this interactivity to familiarise yourself with the proof that the square root of 2 is irrational. Sort the steps of the proof into the correct order.
