Question

Using the formula for squaring a binomial, evaluate the following:  (999)2

Answer in Brief

Solution

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

\[\left( 999 \right)^2 \]

\[ = \left( 1000 - 1 \right)^2 \]

\[ = \left( 1000 \right)^2 - 2 \times 1000 \times 1 + 1^2 \]

\[ = 1000000 - 2000 + 1\]

\[ = 998001\]
