Addition of Consecutive Odd numbers is equal to Square Numbers
In this Square Table To Explain following Properties,
1. Consecutive Odd number Addition is equal to consecutive square value.
2. A square number previous odd number is to multiply that number by 2 and separate by 1
3. A square number next odd number is to multiply that number by 2 and add by 1
Example
If you find 8
2,
Previous Odd Number is, 2*8 - 1 = 15
So that, 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 = 64
Square Formula:
Proof:
L.H.S = [((a
2 + b
2 + 2ab) + (a
2 + b
2 - 2ab) ) / 2] - b
2
= [(2a
2 + 2b
2) / 2] - b
2
= [2(a
2+b
2) / 2] - b
2
= (a
2+b
2) - b
2
= a
2
= R.H.S
