Solution and Explanation

It is known that, 

(a + b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab(a + b) 

nd (a - b)3 = a3 - b3 - 3ab (a - b)

(i) (99)3 = (100 − 1)

= (100)3 − (1)3 − 3(100) (1) (100 − 1) 

= 1000000 − 1 − 300(99) 

= 1000000 − 1 − 29700 

= 970299


(ii) (102)3 = (100 + 2)3 

= (100)3 + (2)3 + 3(100) (2) (100 + 2) 

= 1000000 + 8 + 600 (102) 

= 1000000 + 8 + 61200 

= 1061208


(iii) (998)3= (1000 − 2)

= (1000)3 − (2)3 − 3(1000) (2) (1000 − 2) 

= 1000000000 − 8 − 6000(998) 

= 1000000000 − 8 − 5988000 

= 1000000000 − 5988008 

= 994011992.
