K anyone doing the maths cwk investigation called 'Stair numbers' atm
& if so reply back, and where your up to etc, i need someone to speak to about it lol

ive found rule for 1, 2 ,3,4,5,6 tier stair shape and found the pattern for
the N part, G part and adjustment in for example the 3 tier rule: T = 6N + 4g +4

Thanks :)

Ah, what year you in ? 10, because im just finishing it we had 2 weeks lol

Did you go like real far on extension and do the thing with cubic sequence with the thingy tn = an[cubed] + bn[squared] + cn + d

cos im same as u set 1 n stuf lol i am aiming for 8,8,8

well whatever shape you have, do bottom right number in the shape 's number' and then call total of the numbers in the shape 't'
and work out formula for:-

- any grid size, any tier,

by using algebra for it, eg/ mine was stair shape

and i had n / n + 1/n+ 2/ n + g / n + g + 1/ n + 2g

thats like the basicest part i finished mine now n done 18 pages lol and got final formula thingy to be

- t = (0.5t[squared] + 0.5t)N + (1/6t[cubed] - 1/6t)g + (1/6[cubed] - 1/6)

erm whats your investigation called nightrose cos my practice one was 'T total'

[1/2n (n+1)]g thats to work out what you times a by but i need to work out what you times g by...
