Chapter 2 Squares, square roots, cubes and cube roots. 3. List the perfect square in each of the following.

2.1 Squares of number a) Between 100 and 200

Note b) Less than 70
1. Square = a number is the product of the number by itself. c) Between 200 and 300
Eg: 22 = 2×2 = 4, 32 = 3×3 = 9, 42 = 4×4 = 16 d) Between 300 and 450
2. The square of any answer is always positive because: e) First 5
Eg: positive with positive  52 = (+5)×(+5) = (+25) 4. Determine whether each of the following number is a perfect
negative with negative  -62 = (-6)×(-6) = (+36) square.
3 3×3 9
3. The fraction in the square Eg: ( )2 = = a) 150= b) 289= c) 330=
4 4×4 16
4. The decimal place in the square Eg: 0.0 72 = 0.0 0 4 9
5. Perfect square = the answer of square number
Eg: 12, 22, 32, 42, 52 = 1, 4, 9, 16, 25
6. Prime factorization = determine the number is a perfect d) 484= e) 735= f) 1225=
square.
676 = 2×2×13×13
= (2×13) × (2×13)
= 26×26
g) 225= h) 555 i) 256=
= 262

Exercise 2.1
1. Write the following square notation.
4 4
a) 4×4= d) ( )×( )= I like my math everyday: Prepared by Kelvin
9 9
b) 17×17= e) -3.8×(-3.8)=
c) -6×(-6)= f) 5.2×5.2=
2. Calculate the following.
a) –72= b) 92= c) -122=
2 4 1 Other subtopic refer (pg ___)
d) ( )2= e) (- ) 2= f) (2 ) 2=
5 11 6

g) 0.032= h) -152= i) 2.42=
