4F = 1.2.3(4-0) + 2.3.4(5-1) +3.4.5.(6-2) +......+ k.(k+1)(k+2)[(k+3) - (k-1)]
= 1.2.3.4 - 0 + 2.3.4.5 - 1.2.3.4 + 3.4.5.6 - 2.3.4.5 + ......+ k(k+1)(k+2)(k+3)- (k-1)k(k+1)(k+2) = k(k+1)(k+2)(k+3)
F = \(\frac{k\left(k+1\right)\left(k+2\right)\left(k+3\right)}{4}\)
=> 4F + 1 =\(k\left(k+1\right)\left(k+2\right)\left(k+3\right)+1\)=[k(k+3)][(k+1)(k+2)] +1 =(k2+3k)(k2+3k+2) + 1
= (k2+3k)2 +2(k2+3k) +1 = (k2+3k+1)2
=> 4F + 1 là số chình phương
