Considering the result of the expression of the square of the sum, 2(2n² + 2) is always an even number, then when 1 is added it will always be an odd number.
What is the square of the sum notable product?
It is given as follows:
(a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b².
In this problem, the expression is:
(2n + 1)² = (2n)² + 2(2n)(1) + 1²
= 4n² + 4n + 1
= 2(2n² + 2) + 1
The term 2(2n² + 2) will always be even(multiplication by 2), and when 1 is added to an even number it will always be odd, hence it is proved that an odd number squared is an odd number.
