Question
Evaluate the following:
$(99)^3$

Answer

We know that$ (a - b)^3 = a^3 - b^3 - 3ab(a - b)$
$\Rightarrow (99)^3$ can be written as $(100 - 1)^3$
Here, $a = 100$ and $b = 1$
$(99)^3= (100 - 1)^3$
$= (100)^3 - (1)^3 - 3(100)(1)(100 - 1)$
$= 1000000 - 1 - (300 \times 99)$
$= 1000000 - 1 - 29700$
$= 1000000 - 29701$
$= 970299$
The value of $(99)^3 = 970299$
