Dy/dx=1/2, 1/2, 1/2 etc
So this is a linear equation of the form y=mx+b where m=dy/dx=1/2 so
y=x/2 +b, now we can use any point to solve for the y-intercept, "b", I'll use (7,0)
0=7/2 +b
b=-7/2 so
y=x/2-7/2
y=(x-7)/2

The rows add up to

, respectively. (Notice they're all powers of 2)
The sum of the numbers in row

is

.
The last problem can be solved with the binomial theorem, but I'll assume you don't take that for granted. You can prove this claim by induction. When

,

so the base case holds. Assume the claim holds for

, so that

Use this to show that it holds for

.



Notice that






So you can write the expansion for

as

and since

, you have

and so the claim holds for

, thus proving the claim overall that

Setting

gives

which agrees with the result obtained for part (c).
Completing the square follows the principle of taking

and converting it into

where d is the 'correctional number' as I like to call it - i.e. the number that converts the expanded bracket into the +c, since the expanded bracket will give us

.
In this case, 2/2=1 so we have the first part:

.
Expanding this gives us

. We need c to be 9, so we can just add 8.
Putting this together:

Now we can solve it more easily.
