Q7(iii):
Evaluate the following using suitable identities: (iii) $(998)^3$

Solution :

Initial Setup & Algebraic Strategy

To evaluate the expression $(998)^3$ without performing direct, cumbersome multiplication, we utilize the fundamental algebraic identities derived from the Binomial Theorem. The objective is to express the base number, $998$, as a binomial $(a - b)$ where $a$ and $b$ are integers that are computationally simple to raise to higher powers.

We can rewrite the base as:

$998 = 1000 - 2$

Thus, the expression becomes:

$(998)^3 = (1000 - 2)^3$

Step 1: Selection of the Appropriate Identity

We apply the standard algebraic identity for the cube of a binomial difference [Per the Binomial Expansion for $n=3$]:

$(a - b)^3 = a^3 - 3a^2b + 3ab^2 - b^3$

By mapping our specific values to the identity, we establish:

  • $a = 1000$
  • $b = 2$

Step 2: Variable Substitution and Expansion

Substituting $a = 1000$ and $b = 2$ into the identity yields:

$(1000 - 2)^3 = (1000)^3 - 3(1000)^2(2) + 3(1000)(2)^2 - (2)^3$

(1000 - 2)³ 1000³ - 3(1000)²(2) + 3(1000)(2)² - 2³ 1,000,000,000 - 6,000,000 + 12,000 - 8 994,011,992

Step 3: Term-by-Term Evaluation

We systematically evaluate each term in the expanded polynomial:

  • First Term ($a^3$): $(1000)^3 = 1,000,000,000$
  • Second Term ($3a^2b$): $3(1000)^2(2) = 3(1,000,000)(2) = 6,000,000$
  • Third Term ($3ab^2$): $3(1000)(2)^2 = 3(1000)(4) = 12,000$
  • Fourth Term ($b^3$): $(2)^3 = 8$

Step 4: Arithmetic Synthesis

Now, we substitute the evaluated terms back into the expanded equation and perform the arithmetic operations sequentially to ensure precision:

$(998)^3 = 1,000,000,000 - 6,000,000 + 12,000 - 8$

Operation 1: Subtraction

$1,000,000,000 - 6,000,000 = 994,000,000$

Operation 2: Addition

$994,000,000 + 12,000 = 994,012,000$

Operation 3: Final Subtraction

$994,012,000 - 8 = 994,011,992$


Final Solution: $(998)^3 = 994,011,992$
