1. Express the following numbers as the sum of odd numbers using the above pattern ?
(a) 6³
(b) 8³
(c) 7³
Solution:
From above pattern, we can conclude n³ = [n(n – 1) + 1] + [n(n – 1) + 3] + [n(n – 1) + 5]… + n terms
(a) 6³
Here, n = 6, n- 1=5
6 (6 – 1) + 1 → 6 × 5 + 1 → 31

OR
= [6(6 – 1) + 1] + [6(6 – 1) + 3] + [6(6 – 1) + 5] + [6(6 – 1) + 7] + [6(6 – 1) + 9] + [6(6 – 1) + 11]
= (6 × 5 + 1) + (6 × 5 + 3) + (6 × 5 + 5) + (6 × 5 + 7) + (6 × 5 + 9) + (6 × 5 + 11)
= (30 + 1) + (30 + 3) + (30 + 5) + (30 + 7) + (30 + 9) + (30 + 11)
= 31 +33 + 35 + 37 + 39 + 41
= 216

(b) 8³
Here, n = 8, n – 1 = 7
8 (8 – 1) + 1 → 8 × 7 + 1 → 57

OR
= [8(8 – 1) + 1] + (8(8 – 1) + 3] + [8(8 – 1) + 5] + [8(8 – 1) + 7] + [8(8 – 1) + 9] + [8(8 – 1) + 11] + [8(8 – 1) + 13] + [8(8 – 1) + 15]
= (8 × 7 + 1) + (8 × 7 + 3) + (8 × 7 + 5) + (8 × 7 + 7) + (8 × 7 + 9) + (8 × 7 + 11) + (8 × 7 + 13) + (8 × 7 + 15)
= (56 + 1) + (56 + 3) + (56 + 5) + (56 + 7) + (56 + 9) + (56 + 11) + (56 + 13) + (56 + 15)
= 57 + 59 + 61 + 63 + 65 + 67 + 69 + 71
= 512

(c) 7³
Here, n = 7, n – 1 = 6
7 × 6 + 1 → 42 + 1 → 43

OR
= [7(7 – 1) + 1] + [7(7 – 1) + 3] + [7(7 – 1) + 5] + [7(7 – 1) + 7] + [7(7 – 1) + 9] + [7(7 – 1) + 11] + [7(7 – 1) + 13]
= (7 × 6 + 1) + (7 × 6 + 3) + (7 × 6 + 5) + (7 × 6 + 7) + (7 × 6 + 9) + (7 × 6 + 11) + (7 × 6 + 13)
= (42 + 1) + (42 + 3) + (42 + 5) + (42 + 7) + (42 + 9) + (42 + 11) + (42 + 13)
= 43 + 45 + 47 + 49 + 51 + 53 + 55
= 343

Consider the following pattern:
2³ – 1³ = 1 + 2 × 1 × 3
3³ – 2³ = 1 + 3 × 2 × 3
4³ – 3³ = 1 + 4 × 3 × 3
Using the above pattern, find the value of the following:
(i) 7³ – 6³
(ii) 12³– 11³
(iii) 20³ – 19³
(iv) 51³ – 50³
Solution:
From above pattern, we can conclude
n³ – (n – 1)³ = 1 + n × (n – 1) × 3
(i) 7³ – 6³ = 1 + 7 × 6 × 3
= 1 + 126
= 127

(ii) 12³ – 11³ = 1 + 12 × 11 × 3
= 1 + 396
= 397

(iii) 20³ – 19³ = 1 + 20 × 19 × 3
= 1 + 1140
= 1141

(iv) 51³ – 50³ = 1 + 51 × 50 × 3
= 1 + 7650
= 7651

(vi) 36000
(vii) 21600
(viii) 10000
(ix) 27000000
(x) 1000
What pattern do you observe in these perfect cubes ?
Solution:
(i) 2700
The number is ending with two zeros. If a number ends with three zeros or a multiple of 3 zeros, it may be a perfect cube.
∴ 2700 is not a perfect cube.

(ii) 16000
The number is ending with three zeros.
So it may be a perfect cube.
But, 16 is not a perfect cube.
∴ 16000 is not a perfect cube.

(iii) 64000
The number is ending with three zeros.
So it may be a perfect cube.
64 is a perfect cube. (∵ 4³ = 64)
∴ 64000 is a perfect cube.

(iv) 900
The number is ending with two zeros.
So it is not a perfect cube.
∴ 900 is not a perfect cube.

(v) 125000
The number is ending with three zeros.
So it may be a perfect cube.
125 is a perfect cube. (∵ 5³ = 125)
∴ 125000 is a perfect cube.

(vi) 36000
The number is ending with three zeros.
So it may be a perfect cube.
But, 36 is not a perfect cube.
∴ 36000 is not a perfect cube.

(vii) 21600
The number is ending with two zeros.
So it is not a perfect cube.
∴ 21600 is not a perfect cube.

(viii) 10000
The number is ending with four zeros.
So it is not a perfect cube.
∴ 10000 is not a perfect cube.

(ix) 27000000
The number is ending with six zeros.
So it may be a perfect cube.
27 is a perfect cube. (∵ 3³ = 27)
∴ 27000000 is a perfect cube.

(x) 1000
The number is ending with three zeros.
So it may be a perfect cube.
1 is a perfect cube, (∵ 1³ = 1)
∴ 1000 is a perfect cube.

1. State true or false for any integer m, m² < m³. Why ?
Solution:
It seems true, but not always true.
m × m = m² and m × m × m = m³
∴ m² < m³
e.g. if m = 1
∴ m² = 1² = 1 and m³ = 1³ = 1
∴ m² ≮  m³, but m² = m³
If m = (- 1)
∴ m² = (- 1)² = 1 and m³ = (- 1)³ = (- 1)
∴ m² ≮  m³, but m2 > m³
So the above statement is not always true.
