Question 1.
Is the square of a prime number, prime?
Solution:
No, the square of a prime number ‘P’ has at least 3 divisors 1, P and P². But a prime number is a number which has only two divisors, 1 and the number itself. So square of a prime number is not prime.

Question 2.
Solution:
The sum of two perfect squares, need not be always a perfect square. Also the difference of two perfect squares need not be always a perfect square. Bu the product of two perfect square is a perfect square.

Consider the following square numbers:
(i) 441
(ii) 225
(iii) 289
(iv) 1089.
Express each of them as the sum of two consecutive positive integers.
Solution:
(i) 441 = 220 + 221
(ii) 225 = 112 + 113
(iii) 289 = 144 + 145
(iv) 1089 = 544 + 545

Question 1.
Take an even natural number, say, 46 (or any other even number of your choice). Try to express it as a sum of consecutive odd numbers starting with 1. Do you succeed?
Solution:
1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 = 36
1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 = 49
So 46 cannot be expressed as a sum of consecutive odd numbers starting with 1. But 36 also an even natural number. It can be expressed as the sum of consecutive odd numbers as 36 = 1 +3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11.

Question 2.
The square of an odd number can always be written as the sum of two consecutive natural numbers. Can the reverse statement be true? Is the sum of any two consecutive natural numbers a perfect square of a number?
Solution:
No, the reverse is not true. The sum of any two consecutive natural numbers need not be a perfect square of a number. Example: 35 + 36 = 71, not a perfect square.

(i) Which among 256, 576, 960, 1025, 4096 are perfect square numbers?
(Hint: Try to extend the table of squares already seen).
Solution:
256 = 16²
576 = 24²
4096 = 64²
∴ 256, 576 and 4096 are perfect squares

(ii) One can judge just by look, that the each of the following numbers (82, 113, 2057, 24353, 8888,1972) is not a perfect square. Explain why?
Solution:
Because the unit digit of a perfect square will be 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 9. But the given numbers have unit digits 2, 3, 7, 8. So they are not perfect squares.

(iii) Find the squares by diagonal method and also the ones digit in the squares of the following numbers: 11, 27, 42, 79, 146, 324, 520.
Solution:
Ones digit is the squares of

Consider the claim: “Between the squares of the consecutive numbers n and (n+1), there are 2n non-square numbers”. Can it be true? Find how many non-square numbers are there
(i) between 4 and 9?
(ii) between 49 and 64?
and verify the claim.
Solution:

Therefore we conclude that there are 2n non-square numbers between two consecutive square numbers.

Activity 1. (Text book Page No. 5)

Verify the following statements:
(i) The square of a natural number, other than 1, is either a multiple of 3 or exceeds a multiple of 3 by 1.
Verification

Hence verified that the square of a natural number other than 1, is either a multiple of 3 or exceeds a multiple of 3 by 1.

(ii) The square of a natural number, other than 1, is either a multiple of 4 or exceeds a multiple of 4 by 1.
Verification

So a perfect square leaves remainder 0 or 1 on division by 4.

(iii) The remainder of a perfect square when divided by 3, is either 0 or 1 but never 2.
Verification

So in all the cases the remainder is either 0 or 1, but not 2. Hence verified.

(iv) The remainder of a perfect square, when divided by 4, is either 0 or 1 but never 2 and 3.
Verification

From the table it is verified that the remainder of a perfect square when divided by 4 is either 0 or 1 but never 2 and 3.

(v) When a perfect square number is divided by 8, the remainder is either 0 or 1 or 4, but never be equal to 2, 3, 5, 6 or 7.
Verification

From the table it is verified when a perfect square number is divided by 8, the remainder is 0 or 1 or 4. but never be equal to 2, 3, 5, 6 or 7

Activity 2. (Text book Page No. 6)

Consider any natural number m > 1.We find that (2m, m² – 1, m² + 1) will form a Pythagorean triplet. (A little algebra can help you to verify this!). With this formula, generate a few Pythagorean triplets.
Solution:
For any natural number m, we have 2m, m² – 1, m² + 1 is a Pythagorean triplet.
(i) Consider 2m = 16 ⇒ m = 8
m² – 1 = 64 – 1 = 63
m² + 1 = 64 + 1 = 65
So Pythagorean triplet is 16, 63, 65.

(ii) Consider 2m = 18 ⇒ m = 9
m² – 1 = 81 – 1 = 80
m² + 1 = 81 + 1 = 82
So Pythagorean triplet is 18, 80, 82.

Use the method of successive subtraction of odd numbers (starting from 1) to examine the following numbers and find if they are perfect squares or not. For perfect square numbers that you find, identify the square root.
(i) 144
(ii) 256
(iii) 360
Solution:
(i) 144
Step 1: 144 – 1 = 143
Step 2: 143 – 3 = 140
Step 3: 140 – 5 = 135
Step 4: 135 – 7 = 128
Step 5: 128 – 9 = 119
Step 6: 119 – 11 = 108
Step 7: 108 – 13 = 95
Step 8: 95 – 15 = 80
Step 9: 80 – 17 = 63
Step 10: 63 – 19 = 44
Step 11: 44 – 21 = 23
Step 12: 23 – 23 = 0.
We get 0 in the 12th step. ∴ 144 is a perfect square and ∴ $$\sqrt{144}$$ = 12.

(ii) 256
Step 1: 256 – 1 = 255
Step 2: 255 – 3 = 252
Step 3: 252 – 5 = 247
Step 4: 247 – 7 = 240
Step 5: 240 – 9 = 231
Step 6: 231 – 11 = 220
Step 7: 220 – 13 = 207
Step 8: 207 – 15 = 192
Step 9: 192 – 17 = 175
Step 10: 175 – 19 = 156
Step 11: 156 – 21 = 135
Step 12: 135 – 23 = 112
Step 13: 112 – 25 = 87
Step 14: 87 – 27 = 60
Step 15: 60 – 29 = 31
Step 16: 31 – 31 = 0
We have subtracted odd numbers starting from 1 repeatedly from 256. We get 0 in the 1 step.
∴ 256 is a perfect square and $$\sqrt{256}$$ = 16.

(iii) 360
Step 1: 360 – 1 = 359
Step 2: 359 – 3 = 356
Step 3: 356 – 5 = 351
Step 4: 351 – 7 = 344
Step 5: 344 – 9 = 335
Step 6: 335 – 11 = 324
Step 7: 324 – 13 = 311
Step 8: 311 – 15 = 296
Step 9: 296 – 17 = 279
Step 10: 279 – 19 = 260
Step 11: 260 – 21 = 239
Step 12: 239 – 23 = 216
Step 13: 216 – 25 = 191
Step 14: 191 – 27 = 164
Step 15: 164 – 29 = 135
Step 16: 135 – 31 = 104
Step 17: 104 – 33 = 71
Step 18: 71 – 35 = 36
Step 19: 36 – 37 = -1
We have subtracted successive odd numbers starting from 1, repeatedly from 360, we didn’t get zero.
∴ The given number is not perfect square.

In this case, if we want to find the smallest factor with which we can multiply or divide 108 to get a square number, what should we do?
Solution:
108 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 2² × 3² × 3
If we multiply the factors by 3, then we get
2² × 3² × 3 × 3 ⇒ 2² × 3² × 3² = (2 × 3 × 3)²
Which is a perfect square.
∴ Again if we divide by 3 then we get 2² × 3² ⇒ (2 × 3 )², a perfect square.
∴ We have to multiply or divide 108 by 3 to get a perfect square.

Find the smallest number by which 675 must be divided to obtain a perfect cube.
Solution:

We find that 675 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5
= 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5
Here we have an ungrouped 5 x 5.
So if we divide 675 by 5 x 5 then the new number will be a perfect cube.
ie. 675 ÷ 25 = 27
The new number is 27
$$\sqrt[3]{27}=\sqrt[3]{3 \times 3 \times 3}$$ = 3

(ii) 20305
(iii) 3652.01
(iv) 9426.521
Solution:
(i) 8120 = (8 x 1000) + (1 x 100) + (2 x 10) + 0 x 1
= (8 x 103) + (1 x 102) + (2 x 101)

(ii) 20305 = (2 x 10000) + (0 x 1000) + (3 x 100) + (0 x 10) + (5 x 1)
