A INVESTIGATION (QUESTIONS 1 to 3)
Albert Girard, a 17th century French mathematician, investigated numbers, N, that can be written as the sum
of two squares, a 2 + b 2 .
This task is about these numbers.
a a2 b b2 N = a2 + b2 N'4
2 4 6 36 40 10 remainder 0
18 10 106 remainder 0
28 16 256 remainder 0
4 64 20 remainder 0
[5]
................................................. [2]
(ii) The values of a and b in the table are all even numbers.
When a = 2m and b = 2n then N = 4k .
................................................. [3]
(c) Not all multiples of 4 can be written as the sum of two square numbers.
[2]
a a2 b b2 N = a2 + b2 N'4
7 49 5 25 74 18 remainder 2
49 170 remainder 2
1 1 remainder
[4]
(i) Use algebra to explain why, when a is an odd number, a 2 ' 4 has a remainder of 1.
............................................................................................................................................. [3]
(ii) Explain why, for the values in the table in part (a), N is always 4k + 2 .

3 The values of N that can be written as the sum of two square numbers are of the form 4k + r,
where the remainder r is a constant.
[3]
(b) N = a 2 + b 2
Find all the values of N, where 10 1 N 1 30, that are of the form 4k + 1.

(ii) On the graph in part (a) shade the region that represents the numbers of A-phones and
A-tablets that factory A can make. [1]
(e) The company sells all the A-phones and A-tablets that factory A makes each day.
The company makes $160 profit for each A-tablet and $100 profit for each A-phone it sells.
The greatest possible daily profit at factory A is $964 000.
(i) Write down a linear equation for this profit in terms of p and t.
Give your answer in the form p = mt + c .

(iii) Factory B makes at least 1000 B-tablets but no more than 4000 B-tablets each day.
................................................. [1]
(b) The company sells all the B-tablets and B-phones factory B makes each day.
The company makes $200 profit for each B-tablet and $190 profit for each B-phone it sells.
