COMMENT

Impossible only for 1, 2 and 4. k equals 1 when n is in A005563. k equals 2 when n is in A054000.

Let k*(k+n)= c*c , gcd(n,k,c)=1 . Then primitive triples (n,k,c) are of the form : 1) n is prime. (n,k,c)=( p , (p*p-2*p+1)/4 , (p*p-1)/4 ) 2) n=(c/t)*(c/t)- t*t, n is not a prime, t positive integer. (n,k,c)=( (c/t)*(c/t)- t*t , t*t , c ) [From Ctibor O. Zizka (c.zizka(AT)email.cz), May 04 2009]

EXAMPLE

a(7) = 9 because 9 (7+9) = 144 = 12^2.

MATHEMATICA

Do[k = 1; While[ !IntegerQ[ Sqrt[ k (k + n)]], k++ ]; Print[k], {n, 5, 75} ]
