How much does a2 − 3ab + 2b2 exceed 2a2 − 7ab + 9b2?

Answer»

By subtracting 2a− 7ab + 9bfrom a− 3ab + 2bwe get the required expression

Required expression = (a2– 3ab + 2b2) – (2a2 – 7ab + 9b2)

= a2– 3ab + 2b2 – 2a2 + 7ab – 9b2

Collecting positive and negative like terms together, we get

= a– 2a2 – 3ab + 7ab + 2b2 – 9b2   

= – a2 + 4ab – 7b2
