a) \(999^2-1=\left(999+1\right)\left(999-1\right)=1000\cdot998=99800\)
b) \(73^2+27^2+54\cdot73=73^2+2\cdot27\cdot73+27^2=\left(73+27\right)^2=100^2=10000\)
c) \(117^2+17^2-234\cdot17=117^2-2\cdot117\cdot17+17^2=\left(117-17\right)^2=100^2=10000\)
d) \(101\cdot99=\left(100+1\right)\cdot99=9900+99=9999\)
