Introduction: In this following assignment‚ I will be considering geometric shapes that lead to special numbers. The simplest examples of these are square numbers (1‚ 4‚ 9‚ 16‚ etc)‚ which are derived from squaring 1‚ 2‚ 3‚ and 4. From this I got the equation y= x2. This equation is illustrated in the table below. y=x2 |x |y | |1 |1 | |2 |4 | |3
