If i take any integer, x
write out all integers from 0 to x - 1
write out all numbers between negative and positive values of those numbers
I get x squared total values. why? what is the mathematical logoc behind this?
x = 3
0 to x - 3 = 0, 1, 2
0
-1, 0, 1
-2, -1, 0, 1, 2
9 total values, x squared total values, but why does this work? how is that process related to squaring?
