Question 6.

Find the cube root of the following by looking at the last digit and using estimation.

166375


Answer:

Let n3 = 166375


Here, the unit’s place digit is 5;


∴ Unit’s place digit of n must be 5.


Let us split the number 166375 as 166 and 375


Now, 53 < 166 < 63


∴ 503 = 125000 < 166000 < 603 = 216000


Since, the unit’s place digit of n is 5, the only possible number is 55.


Also, 553 = 166375



Question 7.

Find the cube root of the following by looking at the last digit and using estimation.

704959


Answer:

Let n3 = 704959


Here, the unit’s place digit is 9;


∴ Unit’s place digit of n must be 9.


Let us split the number 704959 as 704 and 959


Now, 83 < 704 < 93


∴ 803 = 512000 < 166000 < 903 = 729000


Since, the unit’s place digit of n is 9, the only possible number is 89.


Also, 893 = 704969

(i) 331776

(ii) 46656

(iii) 373248


Answer:

(i) 331776


Since, 63 = 216 < 331 < 73 = 343


∴ 603 = 216000 < 331000 < 703 = 343000


⇒ 683 = 314432, 693 = 328509, 703 = 343000


So nearest integer to the cube root of 331776 is 69


(ii) 46656


Since, 33 = 27 < 46 < 43 = 64


∴ 303 = 27000 < 46000 < 403 = 64000


⇒ 313 = 29791, 323 = 32768, 353 = 42875, 363 = 46656


So nearest integer to the cube root of 46656 is 36


(iii) 373248


Since, 73 = 343 < 373 < 83 = 512


∴ 703 = 343000 < 373000 < 803 = 512000


⇒ 713 = 357311, 723 = 357911, 733 = 389017


So nearest integer to the cube root of 737248 is 72

Question 11.

Suppose x2 + y2 = z2.

(i) if x = 4 and y = 3, find z;

(ii) if x = 5 and z = 13, find y;

(iii) if y = 15 and z = 17, find x.


Answer:

(i) Given that x2 + y2 = z2


where x = 4 and y = 3


⇒ z2= 42 + 32


⇒ z2 = 16 + 9


⇒ z2 = 25


⇒ z = ±5


(ii) Given that x2 + y2 = z2


where x = 5 and z = 13


⇒ y2= 132 - 52


⇒ y2 = 169 - 25


⇒ y2 = 144


⇒ y = ±12


(iii) Given that x2 + y2 = z2


where y = 15 and z = 17


⇒x2= 172 - 152


⇒x2 = 289 - 225


⇒x2 = 64


⇒ x = ±8

Money given to each person = Rs x


⇒ No. of persons × money given to each person = Total sum distributed


⇒x × x = 2304


⇒x2 = 2304


∵ 482 = 2304


⇒ x = 48


Each person gets Rs 48.



Question 13.

Define a new operation * on the set of all natural numbers by m*n = m2 + n2.

(i) Is ℕ closed under *?

(ii) Is * commutative on ℕ?

(iii) Is * associative on ℕ?

(iv) Is there an identity element in ℕ with respect to *?


Answer:

Consider m*n = m2 + n2.
(i)

Yes, ℕ is closed under *.
This is because, for any natural number m, m2 is also a natural number.
Further, on adding two natural numbers, we get a natural number only.
So, if m and n belong to ℕ then m2 + n2 also belongs to ℕ.


(ii) Commutative means x*y = y*x
where x and y belongs to ℕ

⇒m*n = m2 + n2

And n*m = n2 + m2

⇒ m2 + n2 = n2 + m2

⇒m*n = n*m

Hence, * is commutative on ℕ


(iii) Associative means (x*y)*z = x*(y*z)
where x, y and z belongs to ℕ

m*n = m2 + n2

Further,

(m*n)*o = (m2 + n2)*o = (m2 + n2)2 + o2

Similarly, n*o = n2 + o2

Further,

m*(n*o) = m*(n2 + o2) = m2 + (n2+ o2)2

⇒ (m2 + n2)2 + o2 ≠ m2 + (n2 + o2)2

⇒ (m*n)*o ≠ m*(n*o)

Hence, * is not associative.

(iv) An identity element is a special type of element of a set with respect to a binary operation on that set,
which leaves other elements unchanged when combined with them.

that is for any element a if a * b = b * a = a
then b is the identity of a.

For *, let k be the identity element
then m*k = m2 + k2 = k2 + m2 = m2

This is possible only when k = 0 but k needs to be a natural number.

Hence, * does not have an identity element.


Question 14.

(Exploration) Find all perfect squares from 1 to 500, each of which is a sum of two perfect squares.


Answer:

We know that the integers that satisfy


A2 + B2 = C2


are called Pythagorean triplets.


So, all perfect squares from 1 to 500, each of which is a sum of two perfect squares are –


25 = 9 + 16


⇒ 52 =32+ 42


100 = 36 + 64


⇒102 =62+ 82


169 = 25 + 144


⇒132 =52+ 122


289 = 64 + 225


⇒172 =82+ 152



Question 15.

Suppose the area of a square field is 7396 m2. Find its perimeter.


Answer:

Given area of a square = 7396 m2


We know that the area of a square with side s = s2


⇒ s2 = 7396


⇒ s = √7396


⇒ s = 86 m


Also, the perimeter of a square = 4 × side


⇒ Perimeter = 4 × 86 m


⇒ Perimeter = 344 m



Question 16.

Can 1010 be written as a difference of two perfect squares? [Hint: How many times 2 occurs as a factor of 1010?]


Answer:

We are required to find two perfect squares such that 1010 can be written as a difference of two perfect squares.


This means 1010 = A2- B2


∵1010 is even number


∴ Either A and B are even numbers or odd numbers


So, A2 - B2 is divisible by 4 but 1010 is not divisible by 4 because 1010 = 10 × 101 = 2 × 5 × 101


Hence, 1010 cannot be expressed as a difference of two perfect squares.



Question 17.

What are the remainders when a perfect cube is divided by 7?


Answer:

Let us find the remainder by dividing each cube by 7.



Hence, the possible remainders are 0, 1, and 6.



Question 18.

What is the least perfect square which leaves the remainder 1 when divided by 7 as well as by 11?


Answer:

To find the least perfect square which leaves the remainder 1 when divided by 7 as well as by 11:


L.C.M. of 7 and 11 = 77


Then, required number is of the form = 77x + 1 where x = 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on.



342 = 1156


Hence, 1156 is the least perfect square which leaves the remainder 1 when divided by 7 as well as by 11.



Question 19.

Hence, 4 and 16 are the two smallest perfect squares whose product is a perfect cube.



Question 20.

Find a proper positive factor of 48 and a proper positive multiple of 48 which add up to a perfect square. Can you prove that there are infinitely many such pairs?


Answer:

Proper Factor is a factor of a number other 1 and itself.


Proper factors of 48 = 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24


Proper Multiple is a multiple other than itself.


Proper Multiples of 48 = 96, 144, 192, 240, 288, 336, 384 ….


A proper positive factor of 48 and a proper positive multiple of 48 which add up to a perfect square are:


4 + 96 = 100 = 102


4 + 192 = 196 = 142


16 + 240 = 256 = 162


16 + 384 = 400 = 202


Hence, there are infinitely many such pairs
