| 1. | Use the formula to find the values: i. 502 × 498 ii. 97 × 103iii. 54 × 46 iv. 98 × 102 | 
| Answer» i. 502 × 498 = (500 + 2) (500 – 2) Here, a = 500, b = 2 ∴ (500 + 2) (500 – 2) = 5002 – 22 …. [(a + b)(a – b) = a2 – b2 ] = 250000 – 4 = 249996 ∴ 502 × 498 = 249996 ii. 97 × 103 = (100 – 3) (100 + 3) Here, a = 100, b = 3 ∴ (100 – 3) (100 + 3) = 1002 – 32 …. [(a + b)(a – b) = a2 – b2 ] = 10000 – 9 = 9991 ∴ 97 × 103 = 9991 iii. 54 × 46 = (50 + 4) (50 – 4) Here, a = 50, b = 4 ∴ (50 + 4) (50 – 4) = 502 – 42 …. [(a + b)(a – b) = a2 – b2 ] = 2500 – 16 = 2484 ∴ 54 × 46 = 2484 iv. 98 × 102 = (100 – 2) (100 + 2) Here, a = 100, b = 2 ∴ (100 – 2) (100 + 2) = 1002 – 22 …. [(a + b)(a – b) = a2 – b2 ] 10000 – 4 = 9996 ∴ 98 × 102 = 9996 | |
