Question

The DPS Theory


Me and my friends have been playing around with numbers and somewhat found this!

We believe that this theory is applicable to any number or integer.


Theory 1

The product of the predecessor and successor of a number is equal to the sqaure of that number minus 1


Proof: Take 6 for an example

predecessor of 6 = 5

successor of 6 = 7

5*7 = 35

Square of 6 = 36

36 -1 = 35

Hence Proved


Theory 2

The square of a number is equal to the product of the predecessor and successor of that number plus 1


Proof: Take 5 for an example

Square of 5 = 25

predecessor of 5=4

successor of 5=6

6*4 = 24

24 + 1 = 25

Hence proved

Is this a new discovery?

Answer 1

Answer:

Well you can say it's new, but it's kind of a shortcut . You might not use it in real life purpose. It maybe a mental ability questions shortcut... But nice try I appreciate that you atleast tried..
