Question 4. Observe the following pattern and find the missing numbers. 112 = 121

1012 = 10201

10012 = 1002001

1000012 = 1 …….2………1

100000012 = ……………………..

Answer. 

The square on the R.H.S of the equality contains an odd number of digits, with the first and last digits being 1 and the middle digit being 2. And the number of zeros between the left and middle digits 1 and 2 and the right and middle digits 1 and 2 is the same as the number of zeros in the supplied integer.

∴, 1000012 = 100020001

100000012 = 100000020000001

 

Question 5. Observe the following pattern and supply the missing numbers. 112 = 121

1012 = 10201

101012 = 102030201

10101012 = ………………………

…………2 = 10203040504030201

Answer. 

1012 = 10201

101012 = 102030201

10101012 = ………………………

…………2 = 10203040504030201

We see that the square of the R.H.S. number of the equality has an odd number of digits, with the first and last digits both being 1. Furthermore, the square is symmetrical around the central digit. If the middle digit is 4, the squared number is 10101, and the squared number is 102030201.

∴, 10101012 = 1020304434

1010101012 = 10203040504030201

 

Question 6. Using the given pattern, find the missing numbers. 12 + 22 + 22 = 32

22 + 32 + 62 = 72

32 + 42 + 122 = 132

42 + 52 + _2 = 212

52 + _ 2 + 302 = 312

62 + 72 + _ 2 = _ 2 

Answer.

Given, 12 + 22 + 22 = 32

i.e 12 + 22 + (1×2 )2 = ( 12 + 22 -1 × 2 )2

22 + 32 + 62 = 72

∴, 22 + 32 + (2 x 3)2 = 72 

= (22 + 32 -2 x 3)2

32 + 42 + 122 = 132 

∴, 32 + 42 + (3 x 4)2 = 132 

= (32 + 42 -3 x 4)2

42 + 52 + _2 = 212 

∴, 42 + 52 + (4 x 5)2 = 212 

= (42 + 52 -4 x 5)2

52 + _ 2 + 302 = 312 

∴, 52 + 62 + (5 x 6)2 = 312 

= (52 + 62 -5 x 6)2

6 + 7 + _ 2 = _ 2 

∴, 62 + 72 + (6 x 7)2 = 432

= (62 + 72 -6 x 7)2

 

Question 7. Without adding, find the sum.

  1. 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9

  2. 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + I1 + 13 + 15 + 17 +19

  3. 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 21 + 23

Answer. 

i. 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9

(5)2 = 25 as the sum of the first five odd numbers.

ii. 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + I1 + 13 + 15 + 17 +19

(10)2 = 100 as the sum of the first ten odd numbers added together.

iii. 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 21 + 23

(12)2 = 144, which is the total of the first thirteen odd numbers.

 

Question 8. (i) Express 49 as the sum of 7 odd numbers.

(ii) Express 121 as the sum of 11 odd numbers.

Answer. 

(i) Express 49 as the sum of 7 odd numbers.

We already know that the sum of the first n odd natural numbers is n2. 

Because 49 is 72, 1+3+5+7+9+11+13 = sum of the first 7 odd natural numbers

(ii) Express 121 as the sum of 11 odd numbers.

We already know that the sum of the first n odd natural numbers is n2. 

Because 121 is 112, 1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15+17+19+21 = sum of the first 11 odd natural numbers

 

Question 9. How many numbers lie between squares of the following numbers?

  1. 12 and 13

  2. 25 and 26

  3. 99 and 100

Answer.

i. 12 and 13

Between n2 and (n+1)2, there are 2n non–perfect square numbers. There are 212 = 24 natural numbers) between 122 and 132. 

ii. 25 and 26

Between n2 and (n+1)2, there are 2n non–perfect square numbers. There are 225 = 50 natural numbers between 252 and 262. 

iii. 99 and 100

Between n2 and (n+1)2, there are 2n non–perfect square numbers. There are 299 =198 natural numbers between 992 and 1002.

Question 1. Find the square of the following numbers.

  1. 32

  2. 35

  3. 86

  4. 93

  5. 71

  6. 46

Answer. 

i. 32

322 = (30 + 2)2

As we know, a2 + b2 + 2ab = (a + b)2

302 + 22 + 2 x 30 x 2 = 900 + 4 + 120

= 1024

ii. 35

352 = (30 + 5)2

As we know, a2 + b2 + 2ab = (a + b)2

302 + 52 + 2 x 30 x 5 = 900 + 25 + 300 

= 1225

iii. 86

862 = (90 - 4)2

As we know, a2 + b2 - 2ab = (a - b)2

902 + 62 - 2 x 90 x 4 = 8100 + 16 - 720 

= 7396

iv. 93

932 = (90 + 3)2

As we know, a2 + b2 + 2ab = (a + b)2

902 + 32 + 2 x 90 x 3 = 8100 + 9 + 540 

= 8649

v. 71

712 = (70 + 1)2

As we know, a2 + b2 + 2ab = (a + b)2

702 + 12 + 2 x 70 x 1 = 4900 + 1 + 140 

= 5041

vi. 46

462 = (50 - 4)2

As we know, a2 + b2 - 2ab = (a - b)2

502 + 42 - 2 x 50 x 4 = 2500 + 16 - 400

= 2116

 

Question 2. Write a Pythagorean triplet whose one member is:

  1. 6

  2. 14

  3. 16

  4. 18

Answer.

i. 6

For any natural number m, we know that 2m, m2–1, and m2+1 are Pythagorean triplets. 

  1. 2m = 6 

m = 62= 3 

  1. m2 –1 

32 – 1 = 9 - 1 = 8

  1. m2+1

32 + 1 = 9 + 1 = 10

∴, (6), (8), and (10) are Pythagorean triplets.

ii. 14

For any natural number m, we know that 2m, m2–1, and m2+1 are Pythagorean triplets. 

  1. 2m = 14 

m = 142= 7 

  1. m2 –1 

72 – 1 = 49 - 1 = 48

  1. m2+1

72 + 1 = 49 + 1 = 50

∴, (7), (48), and (50) are Pythagorean triplets.

iii. 16

For any natural number m, we know that 2m, m2–1, and m2+1 are Pythagorean triplets. 

  1. 2m = 16 

m = 162= 8

  1. m2 –1 

82 – 1 = 64 - 1 = 63

  1. m2+1

82 + 1 = 64 + 1 = 65

∴, (8), (63), and (65) are Pythagorean triplets.

iv. 18

For any natural number m, we know that 2m, m2–1, and m2+1 are Pythagorean triplets. 

  1. 2m = 18 

m = 182= 9 

  1. m2 –1 

92 – 1 = 81 - 1 = 80

  1. m2+1

92 + 1 = 81 + 1 = 82

∴, (9), (80), and (82) are Pythagorean triplets.
