उत्तर

Given: We know that for any natural number greater than 1, (2m, m2 – 1, m2 + 1) is a the Pythagorean triplet.

So if one number is m2 + 1 then other two number are m2 – 1 and 2m.

i.e. m2 + 1 = 5  ...(Given)

⇒ m2 = 4

⇒ m = 2

Then m2 – 1

= 22 – 1

= 4 – 1

= 3

And 2m = 2(2) = 4

Hence, Pythagorean triplet is 3, 4 and 5

Similarly another triplet is:

  • We need a2 + b2 = c2
  • Let's try b = 12 and solve for c:
    • 52 + 122 = 25 + 144 = 169
    • c2 = 169
    • c = `sqrt(169)` = 13

Thus, the triplet is (5, 12, 13).

Hence, 3, 4, 5 and 5, 12, 13 are two Pythagorean triplet.

From the pattern, we can say that the sum of the first n positive odd numbers is equal to the square of the n-th positive number. Putting that into formula:
1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + ...  n =  n2, where the left hand side consists of n terms. 


Observe the following pattern
22 − 12 = 2 + 1
32 − 22 = 3 + 2
42 − 32 = 4 + 3
52 − 42 = 5 + 4

\[ 1 + 2 = \frac{1}{2}\left\{ 2 \times \left( 2 + 1 \right) \right\}\]
\[ 1 + 2 + 3 = \frac{1}{2}\left\{ 3 \times \left( 3 + 1 \right) \right\}\]
\[1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = \frac{1}{2}\left\{ 4 \times \left( 4 + 1 \right) \right\}\]
