Nice solution... I'm kicing myself for not thinking of that :P
There's a pattern for finding the difference between two squares. Add the bases together and multiply by their difference. In this case the sum (10000) × the difference (100). It works for finding the difference of any two squares. In this case the problem then had you take the square root of that result, but it saves time and math...
Thank you. Very clear solution.
Thanks, same here! :D
Best solution is yours. Check mine 5000=a ; 50 =b (a+b)2 - (a-b)2 = 4ab \|4ab = 2\|5000*50 = 1000
Cool answer!!!
Thank You...easy understanding
Thank you for this solution. Now I have understood
good solution
Thanks, clever idea using difference of 2 squares.
That made my day better.
it's it math in nine grade in VietNam :v

Same here in India...Or even in class 7 probably
@Vũ An u people have that much IQ !! I guess it should have been far more developed than INDIA !! which is not

5 0 5 0 2 − 4 9 5 0 2 = ( 5 0 0 0 + 5 0 ) 2 − ( 5 0 0 0 − 5 0 ) 2 = 2 ( 5 0 0 0 ) ( 5 0 ) + 2 ( 5 0 0 0 ) ( 5 0 ) = 4 ( 5 0 0 0 ) ( 5 0 ) = 4 ( 5 0 0 ) ( 5 0 0 ) = 2 ( 5 0 0 ) = 1 0 0 0
In your first step,there should be -ve sign between the brackets.

Yes, you are correct! My bad, I've fixed it. Thank you!
How did you get to your second line? Where did your square signs disappear to? Where did your minus sign vanish to?

I made a typo: first step should've been a minus in the middle. Thanks Ahmer for catching it. The intuition is that with anything in the form ( a + b ) 2 − ( a − b ) 2 only the middle terms 2 a b survive, and ( a + b ) 2 − ( a − b ) 2 = 2 a b + 2 a b = 4 a b .

Thank you, I now understand how you get to 4ab. It works, however, it is exhausting. How you see the world and from different angles is what makes us better and smarter.
yes u r right !! the minus sign vanishes to nowhere
Can some one tell me what is wrong with my approach. let a = 5000, and b = 50
Sqrt( (a+b)^2 - (a-b)^2) Step 1) = Sqrt(a+b)^2 - Sqrt(a-b)^2. Step 2) = (a+b) - (a-b) Step 3) = 2b = 100

Ravi, square roots can not be split between sums or differences. Mathematically, Sqrt(4^2 -3^2) is sqrt (16-9) = sqrt (7) NOT THE SAME AS sqrt (4^2) - sqrt (3^2)=4-3=1.
5 0 5 0 2 − 4 9 5 0 2
= ( 5 0 5 0 + 4 9 5 0 ) ( 5 0 5 0 − 4 9 5 0 )
= ( 1 0 0 0 0 ) ( 1 0 0 )
= 1 0 0 0 0 0 0
= 1 0 0 0
i think this is the easiest and most simpliest way of solving that problem .
most apt method i believe!
Great solution
5 0 5 0 2 − 4 9 5 0 2 = ( 5 0 0 0 + 5 0 ) 2 − ( 5 0 0 0 − 5 0 ) 2 = 2 × 5 0 0 0 × 5 0 − ( − 2 × 5 0 0 0 × 5 0 ) = 4 × 5 0 0 2 = 2 × 5 0 0 = 1 0 0 0
Nice solution, Arka. Good use of algebraic identities to simplify the given expression.
sqrt(5050^2-4950^2) Sub x=5050
=sqrt(x^2-(x-100)^2)
=sqrt(x^2-x^2-10000+200x)
=sqrt(200x-10000)
sub x=5050 back into eq
=sqrt(200*5050-10000) =1000
Since I can be fairly certain that the answer is in the set of whole numbers, I employed the factorization rule for differences of perfect squares:
a 2 − b 2 = ( a + b ) × ( a − b )
a + b = 1 0 , 0 0 0
a − b = 1 0 0
Now the problem is just 1 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 = 1 , 0 0 0
5050 X 5050 = 25502500
4950 X 4950 = 24502500
25502500 - 24502500 = 1000000
Square Root of 1000000 = 1000
Better don't do it manually but use the calculator
Try using exponentiation. 1,000,000 = 10^{6}. Now to take the square root of 10^{6}. A square root is a number or equation raised to the 1/2 power. The exponents may be multiplied, 6 \times 0.5 = 3. We now have 10^{3}, which = 1,000. Use your brain, not your calculator. A different way of looking at the world. Sorry, about the formatting. I tried, but it seems exhausting at this time.
Part of the purpose of this type of exercise is realizing the kinds of problems we can do manually. You get to the answer by completing the operations and resolving it that way, but the shortcuts (x^2-y^2)=(x+y)(x-y) are much more elegant.
5 0 5 0 2 − 4 9 5 0 2 = ( 5 0 5 0 − 4 9 5 0 ) 2 = ( 5 0 5 0 + 4 9 5 0 ) ( 5 0 5 0 − 4 9 5 0 ) = ( 1 0 0 0 0 ) ( 1 0 0 ) = ( 1 0 0 ) ( 1 0 ) = 1 0 0 0
I came up on my own system. √[(5050-4950)x2 x 5000] essentially double the difference and multiply the average.
You can also consider 5050 as 4950+100 so (4950+100)^2 - 4950^2 =
4950^2+10.000+200*4950 - 4950^2=10.000+990000= 1.000.000
Sqrt (1.000.000)=1.000
l e t x = 5 0 5 0 , a n d h e n c e 4 9 5 0 = x − 1 0 0
x 2 − ( x − 1 0 0 ) 2
= x 2 − ( x − 1 0 0 ) ( x − 1 0 0 )
= x 2 − ( x 2 − 2 0 0 x + 1 0 0 0 0 )
= 2 0 0 x − 1 0 0 0 0
2 0 0 ( 5 0 5 0 ) − 1 0 0 0 0
= 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 − 1 0 0 0 0
= 1 0 0 0 0 0 0
√ 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 = 1 0 0 0
I did it making a=5000, so ((a+50)^2)-((a-50)^2) and so on...
i forget everything from 8th grade i could've solved that in 3 seconds before this summer
use (a^2 - b^2)= (a+b)(a-b)
We can express 5050 as a and 4050 as b,so we get underroot (a+b) ( a-b) substituting values we get underroot 1000000 that is 1000 Ans
√(5050)^2-(4950)^2 = 1000 √(a2-b2) =√ (a+b)(a-b) √(10000)(100) =1000
Example : a=5050 ; b=4950 ; [(a×a)–(b×b)]^½=[(a+b)×(a–b)]^½ ; [(5050+4950)×(5050–4950]^½=[10000×100]^½=[1000000]^½=1000.
= a^{2} - b^{2} = (a-b)(a+b), where a = 5050 and b = 4950.
Substituting gives us = (5050-4950)(5050+4950) = (100)(10000)
Now place the square root = sqrt{(100)(10000)} = 1000
Mine is the same as the previous one.
using the relation (A+B)*(A-B)=A^2- B^2
(5050+4950)x(5050-4950) 10000x100 = 1000000. root(1000000)=1000
(5050+495x(5050-4950) 10000x100 = 1000000. root(1000000)=1000
sqrt(5050^2-4950^2)=sqrt[5050^2-(5050-100)^2] =sqrt(5050^2-5050^2+200(5050)-100^2) =sqrt[(100)(2(5050)-100))] =sqrt[100(10000)]=1000
root(a^2+b^2) →root((a+b)(a-b)) let, a=5050 and b=4950. so, ans: 1000.
5050^{2} - 4950^{2} = \sqrt{1000000} 1000 answer
1) Multiply ( 5050×5050)=25502500 (4950×4950)=24502500)
2) subtracts (25502500-24502500) 1000000
3) square root : √1000000= 1000
While your methodology is sound, with the given set of numbers, it is easier and elegant to use the top method with factoring. a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b). Reduces the numbers to a 1 with 0s. I may multiply and divide these all days in my head. Your way, I need pen and paper or a calculator.
