Question

Using the formula for squaring a binomial, evaluate the following: (99)2

Answer in Brief

Solution

Here, we will use the identity \[\left( a - b \right)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2\]

\[\left( 99 \right)^2 \]

\[ = \left( 100 - 1 \right)^2 \]

\[ = \left( 100 \right)^2 - 2 \times 100 \times 1 + 1^2 \]

\[ = 10000 - 200 + 1\]

\[ = 9801\]
