Question
Evaluate the following:
$(98)^3$

Answer

We know that $(a - b)^3 = a^3 - b^3 - 3ab(a - b)4
$\Rightarrow (98)^3$ can be written as $(100 - 2)^34
Here,$a = 100 and b = 2$
$(98)^3 = (100 - 2)^3$
$= (100)^3 - (2)^3 - 3(100)(2)(100 - 2)$
$= 1000000 - 8 - (600 \times 102)$
$= 1000000 - 8 - 58800$
$= 941192$
The value of $(98)^3 = 941192$
