Given Expression Analysis: We are given the expression (106(106+1)(106+2)(106+3)+1). Notice that the expression inside the square root is very close to the form of a squared term, specifically (a2+b2) where a is the product of the four terms and b is 1. We will check if this expression can be rewritten as a perfect square.
Denoting Terms: Let's denote 106 as 'a' for simplicity. Then the expression inside the square root becomes (a(a+1)(a+2)(a+3)+1). We want to see if this can be expressed as (something)2.
Factoring Attempt: We can try to factor the expression in the form of a2+b2 by looking for a pattern. The expression a(a+1)(a+2)(a+3)+1 resembles the expansion of a2+1^2 = a^4 + 2a^2 + 1, but with extra terms involving 'a'. We need to check if the given expression can be factored into a perfect square.
Comparison with Perfect Squares: Let's expand (a2+1)2 to see if it matches our expression:(a2+1)2=a4+2a2+1Now, let's compare this with our expression a(a+1)(a+2)(a+3)+1:a(a+1)(a+2)(a+3)=a4+6a3+11a2+6aAdding 1 to both gives us a4+6a3+11a2+6a+1.
Adjusting for Perfect Square: We can see that the expression a4+6a3+11a2+6a+1 is not a perfect square because it does not match the expansion of (a2+1)2. However, we can notice that the expression is very close to (a2+a+1)2, which expands to a4+2a3+3a2+2a+1. Let's compare this with our expression.
Adding and Subtracting Terms: Expanding (a2+a+1)2 gives us:(a2+a+1)2=a4+2a3+3a2+2a+1Comparing this with our expression a4+6a3+11a2+6a+1, we see that the coefficients of a3 and a2 are larger in our expression, and the coefficient of a is smaller.
Grouping for Perfect Square: We need to adjust the terms to make our expression a perfect square. Let's try adding and subtracting the same value inside the square root to create a perfect square without changing the value of the expression. We can add and subtract (3a3+3a2+a), which is the difference between our expression and (a2+a+1)2.
Taking Square Root: Adding and subtracting (3a3+3a2+a) inside the square root gives us:a4+6a3+11a2+6a+1+3a3+3a2+a−3a3−3a2−aThis simplifies to:(a4+6a3+11a2+6a+1)+(3a3+3a2+a)−(3a3+3a2+a)
Substitution and Final Expression: Now, we can group the terms to form a perfect square:(a4+6a3+11a2+6a+1)+(3a3+3a2+a)−(3a3+3a2+a)= (a4+6a3+11a2+6a+1)+(3a3+3a2+a)+1−(3a3+3a2+a)−1= (a2+a+1)2
Substitution and Final Expression: Now, we can group the terms to form a perfect square:(a4+6a3+11a2+6a+1)+(3a3+3a2+a)−(3a3+3a2+a)= (a4+6a3+11a2+6a+1)+(3a3+3a2+a)+1−(3a3+3a2+a)−1= (a2+a+1)2Since we have a perfect square under the square root, we can take the square root of the expression:(a2+a+1)2=a2+a+1
Substitution and Final Expression: Now, we can group the terms to form a perfect square:(a4+6a3+11a2+6a+1)+(3a3+3a2+a)−(3a3+3a2+a)= (a4+6a3+11a2+6a+1)+(3a3+3a2+a)+1−(3a3+3a2+a)−1= (a2+a+1)2Since we have a perfect square under the square root, we can take the square root of the expression:(a2+a+1)2=a2+a+1Now, we substitute back the value of 'a' which is 106:a2+a+1=(106)2+106+1= 1012+106+1
Substitution and Final Expression: Now, we can group the terms to form a perfect square:(a4+6a3+11a2+6a+1)+(3a3+3a2+a)−(3a3+3a2+a)= (a4+6a3+11a2+6a+1)+(3a3+3a2+a)+1−(3a3+3a2+a)−1= (a2+a+1)2Since we have a perfect square under the square root, we can take the square root of the expression:(a2+a+1)2=a2+a+1Now, we substitute back the value of 'a' which is 106:a2+a+1=(106)2+106+1= 1012+106+1The final expression is 1012+106+1, which is the value of the original expression under the square root.
