مجذور
مجذور en 30 secondes
- Majzoor means 'squared' in Persian math.
- It is the result of x multiplied by x.
- Commonly used in school and scientific contexts.
- Distinguished from 'jazr', which means 'square root'.
The Persian word مجذور (majzoor) is a fundamental mathematical term used to describe the result of a number being multiplied by itself, commonly known in English as a 'square' or 'squared number'. Derived from the Arabic root ج-ذ-ر (j-z-r), which pertains to roots and foundations, the term literally translates to 'that which has been rooted' or 'the result of the root operation'. While in modern English we distinguish between 'square' (the result) and 'square root' (the base), in Persian, مجذور specifically refers to the product x². For example, if you take the number 3 and multiply it by itself, the result is 9; in Persian terminology, 9 is the مجذور of 3.
- Mathematical Context
- In academic settings, from primary school arithmetic to advanced calculus, this word is the standard way to denote the second power of a value. It is used in formulas, geometric calculations (like finding the area of a square), and statistical analysis.
عدد نه مجذور عدد سه است.
Number nine is the square of number three.
Understanding this word is crucial for anyone studying STEM subjects in Persian or engaging in technical professions. It is more formal than the colloquial expression به توان دو (be tavan-e do), which simply means 'to the power of two'. When a mathematician or an engineer speaks, they will almost certainly prefer مجذور. This term also carries a sense of precision and historical weight, linking modern Persian math to the golden age of Islamic science where scholars like Al-Khwarizmi laid the foundations of algebra.
برای محاسبه مساحت، باید طول ضلع را به مجذور برسانید.
To calculate the area, you must square the length of the side.
- Daily Life Usage
- While not common in casual grocery shopping, you will encounter it in real estate (calculating square footage), construction, and even in some metaphorical literary contexts where something grows exponentially.
فاصله با مجذور زمان متناسب است.
The distance is proportional to the square of time.
Beyond the classroom, the word appears in coding and programming documentation in Persian. If you are reading a technical manual for a software library in Iran, functions related to squaring a number will often use this root. It represents a level of literacy that moves beyond basic counting into the realm of logical and scientific Persian. Its usage marks the speaker as educated and precise.
مجموع مجذورات خطاها را کم کنید.
Minimize the sum of the squares of the errors.
- Linguistic Nuance
- The word follows the 'Maf'ool' pattern in Arabic morphology, which indicates a passive state. It literally means 'that which has been made into a root/foundation', reflecting the ancient view of the square as the foundational area of a root length.
در این فرمول، سرعت به صورت مجذور ظاهر میشود.
In this formula, velocity appears as a square.
Using مجذور correctly requires understanding its role as a noun that often acts as the object of a mathematical operation or a descriptor of a value. It is frequently paired with the preposition عدد (number) or used in the 'Ezafe' construction (majzoor-e...). When you want to say 'the square of X', you say مجذورِ X. This structure is the most common way to integrate the word into a sentence.
- Common Verb Pairings
- The most common verb used with this word is حساب کردن (to calculate) or به دست آوردن (to obtain). In more formal proofs, you might see رساندن (to raise/to bring to), as in 'be majzoor resandan' (to square something).
او مجذور عدد پنج را به سرعت حساب کرد.
He quickly calculated the square of number five.
In scientific writing, مجذور often appears in the plural form مجذورات (majzoorat), especially in statistics when referring to the 'sum of squares'. This follows the Arabic feminine plural ending '-aat', which is commonly used for technical terms in Persian. If you are discussing the 'Least Squares' method in regression analysis, the term used is کمترین مجذورات (kamtarin majzoorat).
مجذور هر عدد منفی، عددی مثبت است.
The square of any negative number is a positive number.
- The 'Be Majzoor Resandan' Construction
- This is a compound verbal phrase. 'Resandan' means 'to deliver' or 'to cause to reach'. So, 'to cause a number to reach its square' is the formal way to say 'to square a number'.
اگر این متغیر را به مجذور برسانیم، رابطه خطی میشود.
If we square this variable, the relationship becomes linear.
Another important usage is in physics, specifically regarding units. When saying 'meters squared', Persians use متر مربع (metr-e morabba). However, when discussing the numerical operation in a physics formula (like E=mc²), they use مجذور. This distinction is vital: use 'morabba' for units and shapes, use 'majzoor' for the numerical result of an operation.
انرژی با مجذور سرعت نور رابطه مستقیم دارد.
Energy is directly related to the square of the speed of light.
- Formal Logic
- In formal logic and proofs, 'majzoor' is used to define sets of numbers. For instance, 'the set of all squares of integers'.
آیا مجذور یک عدد گنگ میتواند گویا باشد؟
Can the square of an irrational number be rational?
You will encounter مجذور in several specific environments. The most obvious is the educational system. From the moment students in Iran or Afghanistan reach middle school (Grade 6 or 7), this word becomes a staple of their daily vocabulary. Teachers will write it on the chalkboard, and it will appear in every mathematics and physics textbook. If you are watching educational videos on platforms like Aparat (the Persian equivalent of YouTube), you will hear instructors say this word repeatedly during algebra lessons.
- Academic Lectures
- In university lectures, especially in engineering, physics, and statistics departments, the word is used to describe functions and data transformations. Professors discuss 'majzoorat-e khatā' (squares of errors) when teaching regression.
در این مرحله، باید تفاضلها را به مجذور برسانیم.
At this stage, we must square the differences.
Another place you'll hear it is in scientific documentaries and news reports. When Iranian news agencies (like IRNA or ISNA) report on scientific breakthroughs, nanotechnology, or aerospace achievements, they use formal Persian. If they are describing the intensity of a wave or the force of an impact, they might mention that the value is proportional to the مجذور of another variable. It signals a high level of discourse.
بار وارده با مجذور دهانه ساختمان تغییر میکند.
The applied load varies with the square of the building's span.
- Standardized Testing
- The 'Konkur' (Iran's national university entrance exam) is famous for its difficulty. The word 'majzoor' appears in almost every math and physics question. Students spend years mastering the properties of 'majzoorat' to pass this exam.
کدام گزینه نشاندهنده مجذور کامل است؟
Which option represents a perfect square?
You might also encounter it in financial analysis. While less common than 'sood' (profit) or 'ziyan' (loss), analysts looking at volatility (standard deviation) will use the word because the mathematical definition of variance involves squaring the deviations from the mean. If you are listening to a high-level economic podcast in Persian, keep an ear out for this term.
واریانس در واقع میانگین مجذورات انحراف است.
Variance is actually the mean of the squares of deviations.
- Software Localization
- When using Persian versions of Excel or Google Sheets, the documentation for the 'POWER(number, 2)' function will explain that it calculates the 'majzoor'.
این تابع مجذور ورودی را برمیگرداند.
This function returns the square of the input.
The most pervasive mistake learners (and even native speakers) make is confusing مجذور (majzoor) with جذر (jazr). Because they share the same Arabic root, their meanings are often flipped in a moment of confusion. Remember: Jazr is the 'root' (the smaller number you start with), and Majzoor is the 'squared result' (the larger number you end up with). If 4² = 16, then 16 is the مجذور and 4 is the جذر.
- Confusing with 'Morabba'
- Another common error is using 'majzoor' when referring to a geometric square shape. While related, 'morabba' is the shape, and 'majzoor' is the numerical operation. You cannot say 'I drew a majzoor on the paper'. You must say 'I drew a morabba'.
اشتباه: مجذور عدد ۱۶ برابر ۴ است.
Wrong: The square of 16 is 4. (Correction: The square root of 16 is 4, or the square of 4 is 16).
Mispronunciation is also a minor issue for beginners. The 'z' sound is a zāl (ذ) in spelling, but it is pronounced like a standard English 'z'. Some learners might try to give it a different sound based on Arabic phonetics, but in modern Persian, it's a simple 'z' sound. Also, ensure the 'oo' (vāv) sound is long: maj-zooo-r.
درست: عدد ۱۶ مجذور عدد ۴ است.
Correct: Number 16 is the square of number 4.
- Pluralization Errors
- Learners often try to use the Persian plural 'majzoor-ha'. While understandable, in mathematical texts, the Arabic plural 'majzoorat' is almost exclusively used. Using 'majzoor-ha' in a thesis might look amateurish.
او مجموع مجذورات را اشتباه حساب کرد.
He calculated the sum of squares incorrectly.
Finally, don't confuse مجذور with مجزّأ (mojazza), which means 'separated' or 'distinct'. They look somewhat similar in script if the diacritics are missing, but their meanings are entirely unrelated. One is about multiplication; the other is about division or separation. Always look for the 'vāv' (و) in مجذور to confirm you are dealing with the mathematical 'square'.
مراقب باشید مجذور را با کلمات مشابه اشتباه نگیرید.
Be careful not to mistake 'square' with similar words.
In Persian, as in English, there are multiple ways to express the concept of squaring a number depending on the level of formality and the specific context. While مجذور is the most technical term, you will often encounter alternatives in conversation and basic schooling.
- 1. توان دوم (Tavan-e Dovom)
- This literally means 'the second power'. It is the most direct alternative and is used very frequently in classrooms. It is slightly less 'heavy' than مجذور. You can say 'do be tavan-e do' (two to the power of two) to get four.
عدد چهار همان توان دوم عدد دو است.
Number four is the same as the second power of number two.
Comparing مجذور and توان دوم: مجذور is a noun (the square), while توان is the concept of 'power' or 'exponent'. You would use مجذور as a result, but توان when describing the process of raising a number.
- 2. مربع (Morabba)
- While 'morabba' primarily means the geometric shape, it is also used in phrases like 'morabba-e kamel' (perfect square). In some older texts or very specific contexts, 'morabba' can be a synonym for 'majzoor', but in modern usage, 'majzoor' is preferred for the number and 'morabba' for the unit or shape.
بیست و پنج یک مربع کامل است.
Twenty-five is a perfect square.
- 3. ضرب در خود (Zarb dar khod)
- This is the informal, descriptive way to say it: 'multiplied by itself'. This is how you would explain the concept to a child or someone who doesn't know the technical terms. It's not a single word, but a functional phrase.
پنج را در خودش ضرب کن تا مجذورش به دست آید.
Multiply five by itself to get its square.
In summary, use مجذور for formal math, توان دوم for general classroom discussion, مربع for shapes and units, and ضرب در خود for simple explanations. Each has its place in the rich tapestry of the Persian language.
- Comparison Table
- Majzoor: Formal, noun, refers to the result (e.g., 49).
- Tavan-e do: Neutral, refers to the operation (x²).
- Morabba: Geometric, refers to shape or unit (m²).
