Evaluate the following products without multiplying directly:
(i) 103 × 107 (ii) 95 × 96 (iii) 104 × 96
Answer
(i) 103 × 107 = (100 + 3) (100 + 7)
Using identity, (x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a + b) x + ab
Here, x = 100, a = 3 and b = 7
103 × 107 = (100 + 3) (100 + 7) = (100)2 + (3 + 7)10 + (3 × 7)
= 10000 + 100 + 21
= 10121
(ii) 95 × 96 = (90 + 5) (90 + 4)
Using identity, (x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a + b) x + ab
Here, x = 90, a = 5 and b = 4
95 × 96 = (90 + 5) (90 + 4) = 902 + 90(5 + 6) + (5 × 6)
= 8100 + (11 × 90) + 30
= 8100 + 990 + 30 = 9120
(iii) 104 × 96 = (100 + 4) (100 - 4)
Using identity, (x + y) (x -y) = x2 - y2
Here, x = 100 and y = 4
104 × 96 = (100 + 4) (100 - 4) = (100)2 - (4)2 = 10000 - 16 = 9984
