When I fixed the consistency in the body earlier I overlooked the title
  • Find all integer solution for $a_1(a_1+1)(a_1+2)...(a_1+(2k+1)d)+1 = x^2$
  • Find all integer solution for $a_1(a_1+k)(a_1+2k)...(a_1+(2k+1)d)+1 = x^2$

Changed displaymath to inline math in title
  • Find all integer solution for $$a_1(a_1+1)(a_1+2)...(a_1+(2k+1)d)+1 = x^2$$
  • Find all integer solution for $a_1(a_1+1)(a_1+2)...(a_1+(2k+1)d)+1 = x^2$
Find all integer solution for the equation below:
$$a_1(a_1+k)(a_1+2k)...(a_1+(2k+1)d)+1 = x^2$$

To write it in iterated operator notation: $$ 1+\prod_{k=0}^{2k+1} (a_1 + kd) = x^2 $$

Make the two expressions consistent with each other, use more standard limits
  • Find all integer solution for the equation below:
  • $$a_1(a_1+1)(a_1+2)...(a_1+(2k+1)d)+1 = x^2$$
  • To write it in summation notation: $$ 1+\prod_{-1<k<2k+2} (a_1 + kd) $$
  • Find all integer solution for the equation below:
  • $$a_1(a_1+k)(a_1+2k)...(a_1+(2k+1)d)+1 = x^2$$
  • To write it in iterated operator notation: $$ 1+\prod_{k=0}^{2k+1} (a_1 + kd) = x^2 $$

  • Given $ n \in \mathbb{N}^{\ast} ,$ Prove that the following is a square
  • $$a_1(a_1+1)(a_1+2)...(a_1+(2k+1)d)+1 = $$
  • $$ 1+\prod_{1<k<=2k+1} (a_1 + kd) $$
  • and when simplifying this polynomial you first try to see if its a perfect square or not so that you can cancel the square root...
  • You might recognize this product as it being an [arithmetic progression](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_progression#Product)
  • (PS: It seems to be working with only value 4 other than that range also its the same with negative values as well)
  • As a bonus see if you can extend it and go beyond natural numbers.

Prove That x*(x+1)*(x+2)...(x+2n+1) Is Going To Be A Square
The question arisen when i was trying to find the solution to:
$$\sqrt{500(501)(502)(503)+1}$$

and when simplifying this polynomial you first try to see if its a perfect square or not so that you can factor the square root.  

Can you Prove that this will be true, for positive integers or beyond.
