The pattern of fourth diagonal of Pascal Triangle 1 3 3 1 4 6 4 1 10 10 5 20 15 35.....

The general pattern form of the fourth triangle diagonal Pascal is Un = an3 + bn2 + cn + d. Using the non linear equation, we have U1 U2 U3 U4 =a +b + c + d=1 = 8a + 4b + 2c + d = 4 = 27a + 9b + 3c + d = 4 = 64a + 16b + 4c + d = 4

Eliminate equation (1) and (2) 8a + 4b + 2c + d = 4 a +b + c + d=1 7a + 3b + c =3......................(5) Eliminate equation (2) and (3) 27a + 9b + 3c + d = 10 8a + 4b + 2c + d = 4 19a + 5b + c = 6...................(6) Eliminate equation (3) and (4) 64a + 16b + 4c + d = 20 27a + 9b + 3c + d = 10 37a +7b + c = 10................(7) Eliminate equation (5) and (6) 19a + 5b + c = 6 7a + 3b + c = 3 12a + 2b =3...................(8)

Eliminate equation (6) and (7) 37a +7b + c = 10 19a + 5b + c = 6 18a +2b = 4................(9) Eliminate equation (8) and (9) 18a + 2b = 4 12a + 2b = 3 6a = 1 a = 1/6................(10) Subtitute (10) to (8) ( )

Subtitute (10) and (11) to (5) ( ) ( )

Subtitute (10), (11), and (12) to (1) a + b +c +d =1

d=0 Subtitute (10), (11), (12), (13) to the general form an3 + bn2 + cn + d

Therefore the pattern of general form of the sequence of the Pascal Triangle numbers in the fourth diagonal is
