Abstract: Let $BbbZ$ and $BbbN$ be the set of integers and the set of positive integers, respectively. For $a_1,a_2,ldots,a_k,ninBbbN$ let $N(a_1,a_2,ldots,a_k;n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ by $a_1{x}_1^2+a_2{x}_2^2+cdots+a_k{x}_k^2$, and let $t(a_1,a_2,ldots,a_k;n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ by $a_{1}frac{x}_1(x_1-1)2+a_{2}frac{x}_2(x_2-1)2+cdots+a_{k}frac{x}_k(x_k-1)2$ $(x_1,ldots,x_{k}inBbbZ$). In this paper, by using Ramanujan's theta functions $varphi(q)$ and $psi(q)$ we reveal many relations between $t(a_1,a_2,ldots,a_k;n)$ and $N(a_1,a_2,ldots,a_k;8n+a_1+cdots+a_k)$ for $k=3,4$.
