Mathematics Coursework Rob Griffin In this coursework my aim is to investigate the differences of the products of the diagonally opposite corners of a rectangle, drawn on a 10x10 grid. The numbers on this grid go from one to one hundred. As show below. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 The plan is to use algebraic formulas to solve the results that I collect throughout this coursework. Throughout I will test any patters or rules with predictions. Method I will start by carrying out some calculations on the grid. So if I take the numbers that I have highlighted 53*64=3392 and 54*63=3402 I have automatically realized that the different in the two numbers is ten. I need to know check that this answer is the same in other parts of the grid. So is the difference ten in this part of the grid? 19*30=570 and 20*29=580 My prediction was correct in this case. I then realized that it was now too early to try and do any...
