Let us take some examples:
Ex1. Use suitable identity to evaluate 992
Solution: 992 = (100 - 1)2
= 1002 + 12 - 2*1*100 {(x-a)2 = x2 + a2 - 2ax }
= 100*100 + 1*1 - 200
= 10000 + 1 - 200
= 10001 - 200
= 9801
So, 992 = 9801
Ex2. Find the value of 95 * 102 by suitable identity.
Solution:
95 = 100 - 5
102 = 100 + 2
Now 95 * 102 = (100 - 5)*(100 + 2)
= 100*100 + 100*2 - 5*100 - 5*2 {(x-a)*(x+b) = x*x + bx - ax - ab}
= 10000 + 200 - 500 - 10
= 10200 - 500 - 10
= 9700 - 10
= 9690
So, 95 * 102 = 9690
In this way, we apply identities in the question.
