What is the value of ( 1005^2-995^2 ) using an identity?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (20000)

The direct answer is B: \\(1005^2-995^2=20000\\). Use the difference-of-squares identity \\(a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)\\). Here, \\(a=1005\\) and \\(b=995\\). First calculate the sum: \\(1005+995=2000\\). Then calculate the difference: \\(1005-995=10\\). Multiply: \\(2000\times10=20000\\). Thus B is correct. Option A, 10000, is half the correct product and may result from forgetting a factor. Option C, 5000, is unrelated to the identity calculation. Option D, 1000, is also not the product of the sum and difference. The identity is useful because it avoids separately squaring two large numbers and subtracting them. Memory cue: difference of squares equals sum times difference.
