Question 1. Use suitable identities to find the following products:

(i) (x + 4) (x + 10)

Solution:

Using formula, (x + a) (x + b) = x² + (a + b)x + ab

[So, a = 4 and b = 10]

(x + 4) (x + 10) = x² + (4 + 10)x + (4 × 10)

= x²+ 14x + 40

(ii) (x + 8) (x – 10)

Solution:

Using formula, (x + a) (x + b) = x² + (a + b)x + ab

[So, a = 8 and b = −10]

(x + 8) (x – 10) = x² + (8 + (-10) )x + (8 × (-10))

= x² + (8 – 10) x – 80

= x² − 2x – 80

(iii) (3x + 4) (3x – 5)

Solution:

Using formula, (y + a) (y + b) = y² + (a + b)y + ab

[So, y = 3x, a = 4 and b = −5]

(3x + 4) (3x − 5) = (3x)² + [4 + (-5)]3x + 4 × (-5)

= 9x² + 3x (4 – 5) – 20

= 9x²– 3x – 20

(iv) (y² + $\frac{3}{2}$ ) (y² – $\frac{3}{2}$ )

Solution:

Using formula, (a + b) (a – b) = a² – b²

[So, a = y²and b = $\frac{3}{2}$ ]

(y ² + $\frac{3}{2}$ ) (y² – $\frac{3}{2}$ ) = (y²)² – ( $\frac{3}{2}$ )^2

= y ⁴ – $\frac{9}{4}$

Question 2. Evaluate the following products without multiplying directly:

(i) 103 × 107

Solution:

103 × 107 = (100 + 3) × (100 + 7)

Using formula, (x + a) (x + b) = x² + (a + b)x + ab

Then,

x = 100

a = 3

b = 7

So, 103 × 107 = (100 + 3) × (100 + 7)

= (100)² + (3 + 7)100 + (3 × 7)

= 10000 + 1000 + 21

= 11021

(ii) 95 × 96

Solution:

95 × 96 = (100 – 5) × (100 – 4)

Using formula, (x – a) (x – b) = x² – (a + b)x + ab

Then, According to the identity

x = 100

a = 5

b = 4

So, 95 × 96 = (100 – 5) × (100 – 4)

= (100)² – 100 (5+4) + (5 × 4)

= 10000 – 900 + 20

= 9120

(iii) 104 × 96

Solution:

104 × 96 = (100 + 4) × (100 – 4)

Using formula, (a + b) (a – b) = a² – b²

Then,

a = 100

b = 4

So, 104 × 96 = (100 + 4) × (100 – 4)

= (100)² – (4)²

= 10000 – 16

= 9984

Question 3. Factorize the following using appropriate identities:

(i) 9x² + 6xy + y²

Solution:

9x² + 6xy + y² = (3x)² + (2 × 3x × y) + y²

Using formula, a² + 2ab + b² = (a + b)²

Then,

a = 3x

b = y

9x² + 6xy + y² = (3x)² + (2 × 3x × y) + y²

= (3x + y)²

= (3x + y) (3x + y)

(ii) 4y² − 4y + 1

Solution:

4y²− 4y + 1 = (2y)² – (2 × 2y × 1) + 1

Using formula, a² – 2ab + b² = (a – b)²

Then,

a = 2y

b = 1

= (2y – 1)²

= (2y – 1) (2y – 1)

(iii) x² – $\frac{y^2}{100}$

Solution:

x² – $\frac{y^2}{100}$ = x² – $(\frac{y}{10})^2$

Using formula, a² – b² = (a – b) (a + b)

Then,

a = x

b = $\frac{y}{10}$

= (x – $\frac{y}{10}$ ) (x + $\frac{y}{10}$ )

Question 4. Expand each of the following, using suitable identities:

(i) (x + 2y + 4z)²

Solution:

Using formula, (x + y + z)² = x²+ y² + z² + 2xy + 2yz + 2zx

Then,

x = x

y = 2y

z = 4z

(x + 2y + 4z)² = x² + (2y)² + (4z)² + (2 × x × 2y) + (2 × 2y × 4z) + (2 × 4z × x)

= x² + 4y² + 16z² + 4xy + 16yz + 8xz

(ii) (2x − y + z)²

Solution:

Using formula, (x + y + z)² = x² + y² + z² + 2xy + 2yz + 2zx

Then,

x = 2x

y = −y

z = z

(2x − y + z)² = (2x)² + (−y)² + z² + (2 × 2x × −y) + (2 × −y × z) + (2 × z × 2x)

= 4x² + y² + z² – 4xy – 2yz + 4xz

(iii) (−2x + 3y + 2z)²

Solution:

Using formula, (x + y + z)² = x² + y² + z² + 2xy + 2yz + 2zx

Then,

x = −2x

y = 3y

z = 2z

(−2x + 3y + 2z)² = (−2x)² + (3y)² + (2z)² + (2 ×−2x × 3y) + (2 ×3y × 2z) + (2 ×2z × −2x)

= 4x² + 9y² + 4z² – 12xy + 12yz– 8xz

(iv) (3a – 7b – c)²

Solution:

Using formula, (x + y + z)² = x² + y² + z² + 2xy + 2yz + 2zx

Then,

x = 3a

y = – 7b

z = – c

(3a – 7b – c)² = (3a)² + (– 7b)² + (– c)² + (2 × 3a × – 7b) + (2 × –7b × –c) + (2 × –c × 3a)

= 9a² + 49b² + c² – 42ab + 14bc – 6ca

(v) (–2x + 5y – 3z)²

Solution:

Using formula, (x + y + z)² = x² + y² + z² + 2xy + 2yz + 2zx

Then,

x = –2x

y = 5y

z = – 3z

(–2x + 5y – 3z)² = (–2x)² + (5y)² + (–3z)² + (2 × –2x × 5y) + (2 × 5y × – 3z) + (2 × –3z × –2x)

= 4x² + 25y² + 9z² – 20xy – 30yz + 12zx

(vi) ( $\frac{1}{4}$ a – $\frac{1}{2}$ b + 1)²

Solution:

Using formula, (x + y + z)² = x² + y² + z² + 2xy + 2yz + 2zx

Then,

x = $\frac{1}{4}$ a

y = $\frac{-1}{2}$ b

z = 1

( $\frac{1}{4}$ a – ( $\frac{-1}{2}$ )b + 1)² = [ $\frac{1}{4}$ a]² + [ $\frac{-1}{2}$ b]² + 1² + [2 x $\frac{1}{4}$ }a x $\frac{-1}{2}$ b] + [2 x $\frac{-1}{2}$ b x 1] + [2 x 1 x $\frac{1}{4}$ a]

= $\frac{1}{16}$ a² + $\frac{1}{4}$ b² + 1 – $\frac{1}{4}$ ab – b + $\frac{1}{2}$ a

Question 5. Factorize:

(i) 4x² + 9y² + 16z² + 12xy – 24yz – 16xz

Solution:

Using formula, (x + y + z)² = x² + y² + z² + 2xy + 2yz + 2zx

Then, x² + y² + z² + 2xy + 2yz + 2zx = (x + y + z)²

4x² + 9y² + 16z² + 12xy – 24yz – 16xz = (2x)² + (3y)² + (−4z)2 + (2 × 2x × 3y) + (2 × 3y × −4z) + (2 × −4z × 2x)

= (2x + 3y – 4z)²

= (2x + 3y – 4z) (2x + 3y – 4z)

(ii) 2x² + y² + 8z² – 2√2xy + 4√2yz – 8xz

Solution:

Using formula, (x + y + z)² = x² + y² + z² + 2xy + 2yz + 2zx

Then, x² + y² + z² + 2xy + 2yz + 2zx = (x + y + z)²

2x² + y² + 8z² – 2√2xy + 4√2yz – 8xz

= (-√2x)² + (y)² + (2√2z)² + (2 × -√2x × y) + (2 × y × 2√2z) + (2 × 2√2 × −√2x)

= (−√2x + y + 2√2z)²

= (−√2x + y + 2√2z) (−√2x + y + 2√2z)

Question 6. Write the following cubes in expanded form:

(i) (2x + 1)³

Solution:

Using formula,(x + y)³ = x³ + y³ + 3xy(x + y)

(2x + 1)³= (2x)³ + 1³ + (3 × 2x ×1) (2x + 1)

= 8a³ – 27b³ – 36a²b + 54ab²

(iii) ( $\frac{3}{2}$ x + 1)³

Solution:

Using formula, (x + y)³ = x³ + y³ + 3xy(x + y)

( $\frac{3}{2}$ x+ 1)³ = ( $\frac{3}{2}$ x)³ + 1³ + (3 × $\frac{3}{2}$ x × 1) ( $\frac{3}{2}$ x + 1)

= $\frac{27}{8}$ x³ + 1 + $\frac{27}{4}$ x² + $\frac{9}{2}$ x

(iv) (x − $\frac{2}{3}$ y)³

Solution:

Using formula, (x – y)³ = x³ – y³ – 3xy(x – y)

(x − $\frac{2}{3}$ y)³ = x³ − [ $\frac{2}{3}$ y]³ – 3(x) $\frac{2}{3}$ y[x − $\frac{2}{3}$ y]

Solution:

99 = 100 – 1

Using formula, (x – y)³ = x³ – y³ – 3xy(x – y)

(99)³ = (100 – 1)³

= (100)³ – 1³ – (3 × 100 × 1) (100 – 1)

= 1000000 – 1 – 300(100 – 1)

= 1000000 – 1 – 30000 + 300

= 970299

(ii) (102)³

Solution:

102 = 100 + 2

Using formula, (x + y)³ = x³ + y³ + 3xy(x + y)

(100 + 2)³ = (100)³ + 2³ + (3 × 100 × 2) (100 + 2)

= 1000000 + 8 + 600(100 + 2)

= 1000000 + 8 + 60000 + 1200

= 1061208

(iii) (998)³

Solution:

998 = 1000 – 2

Using formula, (x – y)³ = x³ – y³ – 3xy(x – y)

(998)³ = (1000 – 2)³

= (1000)³ – 2³ – (3 × 1000 × 2) (1000 – 2)

= 1000000000 – 8 – 6000(1000 – 2)

= 1000000000 – 8 – 6000000 + 12000

= 994011992
