Question:
Use suitable identity and solve.
(i) 104 x 99
What to find?
The product of 104 x 99 using a suitable identity.
How to find?
To find the product of 104 x 99 we can write it as (100 + 4) (100 - 1) also like (x + a) (x - b) = x² + (a - b)x - ab where x = 100, a = 4, b = 1.
Solution:
104 x 99
Using the identity (x + a) (x - b) = x² + (a - b)x - ab
⇒ (100 + 4) (100 - 1)
⇒ 100² + (4 - 1)100 - 4 × 1
⇒ 10000 + 3(100) - 4
⇒ 10000 + 300 - 4
⇒ 10300 - 4
⇒ 10296
∴ Therefore, the answer is 10296.
