Observe the following pattern:
22−12=2+132−22=3+242−32=4+352−42=5+4
Find the value of
(i) 1002−992 (ii) 1112−1092
(iii) 992−962
From the given pattern,
22−12=2+132−22=3+242−32=4+352−42=5+4
Therefore
(i) 1002−992=100+99=
(ii) 1112−1092=1112−1102−1092=(1112−1102)+(1102−1092)=(111+110)+(110−109)=221+219=440
(iii) 992−962=992−982+982−972+972−962=(992−982)+(982−972)+(972−962)=(99+98)+(98+97)+(97+96)=197+195+193=585
