When is `n^2+2021n` a perfect square?
Solution
As we knew, `2021=43\times47`
Let find `m;n\inN` such that: `n^2+2021n=m^2`
`4n^2+4\times2021n=4m^2`
Or `4n^2+4\times2021n+2021^2=4m^2+2021^2`
`(2n+2021)^2=4m^2+2021^2`
`(2n+2021)^2-4m^2=2021^2`
`(2n-2m+2021)(2n+2m+2021)=2021^2`
+Case: 1 `2021^2=1\times2021^2`
`2n-2m+2021=1` and `2n+2m+2021=2021^2`
Sum of these two equations: `4n+2\times2021=2021^2+1`
`4n=(2021-1)^2``\rightarrown=1020100`
+Case: 2 `2021^2=43\times(43\times47)^2`
Then, `2n-2m+2021=43` and `2n+2m+2021=(43\times47)^2`
Solve as the case 1 we will get `n=22747`
Hence, `n^2+2021n` is a perfect square when `n=1020100` and `n=22747`.
