Compute these products using the suggested identity. (i) 46² using Identity 1A for (a + b)² Class 8

Question 1.

Compute these products using the suggested identity.

(i) 46² using Identity 1A for (a + b)²

(ii) 397 × 403 using Identity 1C for (a + b) (a - b)

(iii) 91² using Identity IB for (a - b )²

(iv) 43 × 45 using Identity 1C for (a + b) (a -b)

Solution:

(i) 46² = (40 + 6)²

= 40² + 2 × 40 × 6 + 6²

= 1600 + 480 + 36

= 2116.

(ii) 397 × 403 = (400 - 3) (400 + 3)

= 400² - 3²

= 160000 - 9 = 150091.

(iii) 91² = (100 - 9)²

= 100² - 2 × 100 × 9 + 9²

= 10000 - 1800 + 81

= 8281

(iv) 43 × 45 = (44 - 1) (44 + 1) = 44² - 1²

= 1936 - 1 = 1935
