Triangular numbers can be represented with equilateral triangles formed by dots. the first five triangular numbers are 1, 3, 6, 10, and 15. is there a direct variation between a triangular number and its position in the sequence? explain your reasoning.

Find a parametrization for the curve「and determine the work done on a particle moving along γ in r3 through the force field f: r^3--r^3'where f(x, y,z) = (1,-x, z) and (a) im (γ) is the line segment from (0,0,0) to (1,2,1) (b) im (γ) is the polygonal curve with successive vertices (1,0,0), (0,1,1), and (2,2,2) (c) im (γ) is the unit circle in the plane z = 1 with center (0,0,1) beginning and ending at (1,0,1), and starting towards (0,1,1)
