1 NUMBER Numbers form many interesting patterns. You already know about odd and even numbers. Pascal s triangle is a number pattern that looks like a triangle and contains number patterns. Fibonacci numbers are found in many living things: the number of petals on a flower will be a Fibonacci number. You will learn how these different patterns are formed to help you to understand how numbers behave

20 Example 8 What is: a the square root of 64? b the cube root of 27? Solution a The square root of 64 = 64 = 8 (because 8 8 = 64). b The cube root of 27 = 27 = (because = 27). Example 9 Estimate the value of 40. Solution There is no exact answer for the square root of 40, because there isn t a number which, if squared, equals 40 exactly. Instead, we find a number whose square is close to 40. Looking at the square numbers 5 2 = 25, 6 2 = 6, 7 2 = 49, we can tell 40 must be between 6 and 7. Because 40 is closer to 6 than to 49, the square root must be closer to 6. As an estimate, The and keys on a calculator can be used to find the square root and cube root of a number. To calculate 40, press 40 =. The result is , a more accurate answer than our estimate above.
