Evaluate Numerical Expressions Involving Whole Numbers Shortcuts :
In this section, you will learn how to evaluate numerical expressions involving whole numbers.
Using the following algebraic identities, we may easily evaluate numerical expressions involving whole numbers.
(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
(a - b)2 = a2 - 2ab + b2
a2 - b2 = (a + b) (a - b)
a3 + b3 = (a + b) (a2 - ab + b2)
a3 - b3 = (a - b) (a2 + ab + b2)
Example 1 :
Evaluate
796 ⋅ 796 - 204 ⋅ 204
Solution :
= 796 ⋅ 796 - 204 ⋅ 204
Instead of writing the same numerical values twice, we may write it once and take square for this.
= 7962 - 2042
Now this exactly matches the algebraic identity
a2 - b2 = (a + b) (a - b)
= (796 + 204) (796 - 204)
= 1000 (592)
= 592000
Example 2 :
Evaluate
387 ⋅ 387 + 113 ⋅ 113 + 2 ⋅ 387 ⋅ 113
Solution :
= 387 ⋅ 387 + 113 ⋅ 113 + 2 ⋅ 387 ⋅ 113
= 3872 + 1132 + 2 ⋅ 387 ⋅ 113
It is in the form a2 + b2 + 2ab, so we may write it as (a + b)2
= (387 + 113)2
= 5002
= 250000
Example 3 :
Evaluate
87 ⋅ 87 + 61 ⋅ 61 - 2 ⋅ 87 ⋅ 61
Solution :
= 87 ⋅ 87 + 61 ⋅ 61 - 2 ⋅ 87 ⋅ 61
= 872 + 612 + 2 ⋅ 87 ⋅ 61
It is in the form a2 + b2 - 2ab, so we may write it as (a - b)2
= (87 - 61)2
= 262
= (25 + 1)2
= 252 + 12 + 2(25)(1)
= 625 + 1 + 50
= 676
Example 4 :
Evaluate
{(789 ⋅ 789 ⋅ 789 + 211 ⋅ 211 ⋅ 211)} / { (789 ⋅ 789 - 789 ⋅ 211 + 211 ⋅ 211) }
Solution :
Let a = 789 and b = 211
Instead of whole numbers given in the question, let us use the variables a and b.
= (a3 + b3) / (a2 - ab + b2)
= (a + b)(a2 - ab + b2) / (a2 - ab + b2)
= (a + b)
by applying the values of a and b, we get
= 789 + 211
= 1000
Example 5 :
Evaluate
{(489 + 375)2 - (489 - 375)2} / (489 ⋅ 375)
Solution :
Let a = 489 and b = 375
= {(a + b)2 - (a - b)2} / (a ⋅ b)
(a + b)2 = (a2 + 2ab + b2) ---(1)
(a - b)2 = (a2 - 2ab + b2) ----(2)
(1) - (2)
By simplifying the numerator, we get
(a + b)2 - (a + b)2 = (a2 + 2ab + b2) - (a2 - 2ab + b2)
= 4ab
By applying the value of (a + b)2 - (a + b)2
= 4ab/ab
= 4
Hence the answer is 4.
