Question
Show that the result of replacing every integer $a$ in a magic square of order $n$ with $n^{2}+1-a$ is a magic square of order $n$.
Step 1
A magic square of order \( n \) is an \( n \times n \) grid filled with distinct integers such that the sum of the integers in each row, each column, and both main diagonals is the same. This common sum is called the magic constant. Show more…

A normal magic square of order n is a square array having n horizontal rows and n vertical rows, in which the n2 entries are precisely the positive integers 1 through n2, such that the sum of the entries along any row, column, or diagonal is equal to the same value, kn. (a) Show that, in a normal magic square of order 3, the entry in row 2 and column 2 must be 5. (b) Show that, in a normal magic square of order 3, the entry in any of the four corner positions cannot be 1.
Show that $n^{2}+n$ is an even number for all integers $n$

If $n$ is a positive integer, show that $$\left(\begin{array}{l}n \\0\end{array}\right)+\left(\begin{array}{l}n \\1\end{array}\right)+\cdots+\left(\begin{array}{l} n \\n\end{array}\right)=2^{n}$$
