Evaluate using expansion of (a + b)2 or (a - b)2 :
(i) (208)2
(ii) (92)2
(iii) (9.4)2
(iv) (20.7)2
Answer
(i) (208)2
(200 + 8)2
Using the formula
(∵ (x + y)2 = x2 + 2xy + y2)
= (200)2 + 2 x 200 x 8 + (8)2
= 40000 + 3200 + 64
= 43264
Hence, (208)2 = 43264
(ii) (92)2
(100 - 8)2
Using the formula
(∵ (x - y)2 = x2 - 2xy + y2)
= (100)2 - 2 x 100 x 8 + (8)2
= 10000 - 1600 + 64
= 8400 + 64
= 8464
Hence, (92)2 = 8464
(iii) (9.4)2
(10 - 0.6)2
Using the formula
(∵ (x - y)2 = x2 - 2xy + y2)
= (10)2 - 2 x 10 x 0.6 + (0.6)2
= 100 - 12 + 0.36
= 88 + 0.36
= 88.36
Hence, (9.4)2 = 88.36
(iv) (20.7)2
(20 + 0.7)2
Using the formula
(∵ (x + y)2 = x2 + 2xy + y2)
= (20)2 + 2 x 20 x 0.7 + (0.7)2
= 400 + 28 + 0.49
= 428 + 0.49
= 428.49
Hence, (20.7)2 = 428.49
