Perfect Squares
Definition
A perfect square is an integer that can be expressed as the square of another integer. For example, 16 is a perfect square because it can be expressed as 4^2.
Properties
- The square root of a perfect square is always an integer.
- Perfect squares always end in 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, or 9.
- The sum of two perfect squares is not always a perfect square.
- The product of two perfect squares is always a perfect square.
Examples
- 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, ...
- These numbers can be expressed as:
- 1 = 1^2
- 4 = 2^2
- 9 = 3^2
- 16 = 4^2
- 25 = 5^2
- 36 = 6^2
- 49 = 7^2
- 64 = 8^2
- 81 = 9^2
Calculating Perfect Squares
- To calculate a perfect square, simply square the number (multiply it by itself).
- For example, to calculate 5^2, multiply 5 by 5 to get 25.
Real-World Applications
- Perfect squares are used in geometry to calculate areas of shapes.
- They are also used in algebra to solve equations and inequalities.
- Perfect squares have many applications in computer science, physics, and engineering.
