Study Notes

Properties of Perfect Squares

  • A number ending in 2, 3, 7, or 8 is never a perfect square.
  • A number ending in an odd number of zeros is never a perfect square.
  • If a number when divided by 3 leaves a remainder of 2, then it is not a perfect square.
  • If a number when divided by 4 leaves a remainder of 2 or 3, then it is not a perfect square.

Properties of Squares of Even and Odd Numbers

  • The square of an even number is always even.
  • Examples: 2^2 = 4, 4^2 = 16, 6^2 = 36, 8^2 = 64, etc.
  • The square of an odd number is always odd.
  • Examples: 1^2 = 1, 3^2 = 9, 5^2 = 25, 7^2 = 49, 9^2 = 81, etc.

Properties of Squares of Fractions

  • The square of a proper fraction is smaller than the fraction.
  • Example: (2/3)^2 = (2/3 * 2/3) = 4/9 and 4/9 < 2/3 since (4 * 3) < (9 * 2)

Property of Natural Numbers

  • For every natural number n, we have (n + 1)^2 - n^2 = (2n + 1)
