Answer 1

This may help...
\[\Large 1^2 = 1\]\[\Large 2^2 = 4\]\[\Large 3^2 = 9\]\[\Large 4^2 = 16\]\[\Large 5^2 = 25\]

Answer 2

i dont understand

Answer 3

Answer 4

That is correct :)

Answer 5

thank you(:

Answer 6

Welcome :)

if you continued what i wrote above, you'd get the rule you found...
\[\Large 5^2 = 25\]\[\Large 6^2 = 36 \] or \[\Large x^2 = y\]
