Class 8MathematicsAlgebraic Expressions and Identities

Using Identities for Calculation

Mental math with identities: 103² = (100+3)² = 10000+600+9 = 10609. 97² = (100-3)² = 10000-600+9 = 9409. 103×97 = (100+3)(100-3) = 100²-3² = 10000-9 = 9991. Much faster than direct multiplication! These same identities appear in advanced algebra and calculus.
