Answer 2

Answer:

= 8m + 1 , where m = 8q² + 2q

case 2 :- when r = 2 , a = 8q + 2

squaring both sides,

a² = (8q + 2)² = 64q² + 32q + 4 ≠ 8m +1 [ means when r is an even number it is not in the form of 8m + 1 ]

Case 3 :- when r = 3 , a = 8q + 3

squaring both sides,

a² = (8q + 3)² = 64q² + 48q + 9 = 8(8q² + 6q + 1) + 1

= 8m + 1 , where m = 8q² + 6q + 1

You can see that at every odd values of r square of a is in the form of 8m +1

But at every even Values of r square of a isn't in the form of 8m +1 .

Also we know, a = 8q +1 , 8q +3 , 8q + 5 , 9q +7 are not divisible by 2 means these all numbers are odd numbers

Hence , it is clear that square of an odd positive is in form of 8m +
