Tetrahedral Numbers: Sum of 'n' Consecutive Triangular Numbers: Proof
In this video I go over tetrahedral numbers and provide a proof of their formula using mathematical induction. This video was requested by Dominic from Strode College in the UK, and is a good follow-up from my earlier video on the sum of consecutive integers.
A tetrahedral number is a number that can be visually represented as 3 sided pyramid, that is a tetrahedron. For example the numbers 1, 4, and 10 can all be visualized as a stack of balls in a tetrahedron pattern. In fact, the tetrahedron is just the sum of consecutive "triangular numbers", which are numbers that can be represented by an equilateral triangle.
I cover triangular or triangle numbers as well, and show that their formula is the sum of n consecutive integers. Finally, I use the triangle number formula as well as the principle of mathematical induction to prove the formula for a tetrahedron number. This was the first time I had learned about tetrahedron numbers so this was an interesting topic to cover. If you have any other video requests please let me know and I may cover it!
