Q4 of 95 Page 83

Compute the following differences:

(10.3 × 9.7) – (10.7 × 9.3)

(10.3 × 9.7) can be written as (10+0.3)(10-0.3)

using identity -


(10+0.3)(10-0.3) = -


= 100 - 0.09


= 99.91


now (10.7 × 9.3) can be written as (10+0.7)(10-0.7)


using identity -


(10+0.7)(10-0.7) = -


= 100 - 0.49


= 99.51


now putting values in question


(10.3 × 9.7) – (10.7 × 9.3) = 99.91 - 99.51


= 0.40
