• • • • It’s a triangle. A triangle of numbers! Pascal did not create it…. The Chinese did. Blaise Pascal discovered all of the unique patterns in it. 1 1 1 4 1 3 1 2 6 1 3 1 4 1 1 Then we add the left Continue and right numberwith this addition for each line together on the second row First we start off with a triangle of ones 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 18 19 20 190 20 56 120 35 126 1 5 15 70 210 1 4 10 35 84 816 3060 56 252 1 6 21 126 4845 8568 1 7 28 84 210 15504 18564 1 8 36 120 38760 31824 1 9 45 77520 43758 1 10 125970 48400 1 167740 42438 182996 161800 28524 340 5268 26440 120 1740 1 16 136 596 2336 9344 1 15 460 7008 1 14 105 1280 19432 62120 91 940 14164 1 13 235 3988 42688 113650 144 3048 1 12 78 705 10176 70962 66 561 7128 11 66 2343 18348 90838 0 1782 11220 55 495 4785 24090 92158 495 3003 12870 165 1287 6435 24310 75582 792 3432 11440 330 1716 6435 19448 50388 924 3003 8008 462 1716 5005 12376 27132 792 2002 4368 462 1287 3003 6188 11628 495 1001 1820 330 715 1365 2380 3876 220 364 560 165 286 455 680 969 66 91 120 153 1140 45 55 78 105 136 171 12 14 16 11 13 15 17 15 28 36 6 10 21 1 3 Just imagine 40 rows of a Triangle! 1 1 9 10 5 7 8 3 4 6 1 2 153 749 3085 1 17 1 18 171 920 1 19 190 1 20 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 The very top is Row 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 12 13 14 9 66 220 286 364 495 2002 21 792 36 495 9 1 10 55 0 495 1782 1 45 165 1287 3003 1 8 120 330 1716 3432 7 84 462 1 28 210 924 1 6 56 126 1716 3003 15 252 792 1 5 35 462 1287 4 70 126 330 715 1001 35 210 1 10 20 56 84 165 6 15 120 1 3 10 21 36 2 4 28 45 55 78 91 7 1 3 5 6 8 10 11 Each row has a reference number 1 11 66 66 561 1 1 12 78 144 1 13 91 What The sum is the of all sum theofnumbers the eighth in row? a row = 2Row Number The answer sum of row is 286or= 256 26 or 64 1 14 1 Theofnext All first these element number 1’s areis in each always element row would element 0 be element zero 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 12 13 14 9 55 66 78 91 220 330 495 1001 1287 2002 924 3003 84 792 1 36 9 45 165 495 1287 3003 1 8 120 330 1716 3432 7 28 210 462 1716 1 21 126 462 1 6 56 252 792 715 15 35 126 1 5 70 210 165 286 364 84 120 4 10 35 56 36 1 20 21 28 45 10 15 7 8 10 11 6 1 3 6 5 1 1 3 4 1 1 55 0 495 1782 1 10 1 11 66 66 561 1 12 78 144 1 13 91 1 14 th row!
