Question

Observe the following pattern 

22 − 12 = 2 + 1
32 − 22 = 3 + 2
42 − 32 = 4 + 3
52 − 42 = 5 + 4
and find the value of 

1002 − 992

Solution

From the pattern, we can say that the difference between the squares of two consecutive numbers is the sum of the numbers itself.
In a formula:

`(n+1)^2-(n)2=(n+1)+n` 

Using this formula, we get:
(i) 1002 − 992   = (99 + 1) + 99
                        = 199
