Using identity, find the value of(i) (4.9)2(ii) (100.1)2(iii) (1.9) x (2.1)

Answer»

(i) (4.9)2

(4.9)2 = (5 – 0.1)2

Substituting a = 5 and b = 0.1 in

(a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2, we have

(5 – 0.1)2 = 52 – 2(5) (0.1) + (0.1)2

(4.9)2 = 25 – 1 + 0.01 

= 24 + 0.01

(4.9)2 = 24.01

(ii) (100.1)2

(100.1)2 = (100 + 0.1)2

Substituting a = 100 and b = 0.1 in

(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2, we have

(100 + 0.1)2 = (100)2 + 2(100) (0.1) + (0.1)2

(100.1)2 = 10000 + 20 + 0.01

(100.1)2 = 10020.01

(iii) (1.9) x (2.1)

(1.9) x (2.1) = (2 – 0.1) x (2 + 0.1)

Substituting a = 100 and b = 0.1 in

(a – b) (a + b) = a2 – b2 we have

(2 – 0.1) (2 + 0.1) = 22 – (0.1)2

(1.9) x (2.1) = 4 – 0.01

(1.9) (2.1) = 3.99
