\(N^2+N^3=N^2(1+N)\)
Now, \(N^2\) is always a square as N is a positive integer less than or equal to 100, N+1 has to be a square too.
Also, \(2\leq 1+N \leq 101\) as \(1\leq N \leq 100\). Thus, N+1 can be any perfect square between 2 and 101, that is 2^2 to 10^2.
N will be one less than the perfect squares between 2 and 101, that is 3, 8, 15, 24, 35, 48, 63, 80 and 99. Total 9 values.
