Find the squares of the following numbers using the identity (a - b)2 = a2 - 2ab + b2 :(i) 395 (ii) 995 (iii)495 (iv) 498 (v) 99 (vi) 999 (vii)599

Answer»

(i) 395 

395 = (400 – 5)

= (400)2 + 52 – 2 (400) (5) 

= 160000 + 25 – 4000 

= 156025 

(ii) 995 

995 = (1000 – 5)2 = (1000)2 + 52 – 2 (1000) (5) 

= 1000000 + 25 – 10000 

= 990025 

(iii)495 

495 = (500 – 5)2 = (500)2 + 52 – 2 (500) (5) 

= 250000 + 25 – 5000 

= 245025 

(iv) 498 

498 = (500 – 2)2 = (500)2 + 22 – 2 (500) (2) 

= 250000 + 4 – 2000 

= 248004 

(v) 99 

99 = (100 – 1)2 

= (100)2 + 12 – 2 (100) (1) 

= 10000 + 1 – 200 = 9799 

(vi) 999 

999 = (1000 – 1)2 

= (1000)2 + 12 – 2 (1000) (1) 

= 1000000 + 1 – 2000 

= 998001 

(vii)599 

(600 – 1)2 = (600)2 + 12 – 2 (600) (1) 

= 360000 + 1 – 1200 

= 358801
