Pattern of Squares Using a Special Function Format: n 5 2
This note explores an interesting number pattern involving a function written in the form:
Format:
n52=x
Where the output `x` appears to be a square number. The underlying pattern reveals a
mathematical formula based on the number `n`.
Observations and Results:
1 5 2 = 225 -> (15)^2
2 5 2 = 625 -> (25)^2
3 5 2 = 1225 -> (35)^2
4 5 2 = 2025 -> (45)^2
5 5 2 = 3025 -> (55)^2
6 5 2 = 4225 -> (65)^2
7 5 2 = 5625 -> (75)^2
8 5 2 = 7225 -> (85)^2
9 5 2 = 9025 -> (95)^2
Identified Pattern:
The number before squaring is of the form:
(10n + 5)
So,
n 5 2 = (10n + 5)^2
Further Expansion:
10 5 2 = (10*10 + 5)^2 = 105^2 = 11025
11 5 2 = (10*11 + 5)^2 = 115^2 = 13225
12 5 2 = (10*12 + 5)^2 = 125^2 = 15625
13 5 2 = (10*13 + 5)^2 = 135^2 = 18225
14 5 2 = (10*14 + 5)^2 = 145^2 = 21025
15 5 2 = (10*15 + 5)^2 = 155^2 = 24025
16 5 2 = (10*16 + 5)^2 = 165^2 = 27225
17 5 2 = (10*17 + 5)^2 = 175^2 = 30625
18 5 2 = (10*18 + 5)^2 = 185^2 = 34225
19 5 2 = (10*19 + 5)^2 = 195^2 = 38025
20 5 2 = (10*20 + 5)^2 = 205^2 = 42025
General Formula:
n 5 2 = (10n + 5)^2
This pattern is an example of how algebraic expressions can be disguised as seemingly
mysterious numeric patterns, but reveal a simple and elegant formula when analyzed.
