For every natural number m, (2m – 1, 2m2 – 2m, 2m2 – 2m + 1) is a pythagorean triplet.

Options

  • True

  • False

MCQ
True or False

Solution

This statement is False.

Explanation:

∵ (2m – 1)2 ≠ (2m2 – 2m)+ (2m2 – 2m + 1)2

(2m2 – 2m)2 ≠ (2m – 1)2 + (2m2 – 2m + 1)2 

And (2m2 – 2m + 1)2 ≠ (2m – 1)2 + (2m2 – 2m)2
