Subtract the sum of 13x – 4y + 7z and – 6z + 6x + 3y from the sum of 6x – 4y – 4z and 2x + 4y – 7. |
|
Answer» First we have to find the sum of 13x – 4y + 7z and – 6z + 6x + 3y Therefore, sum of (13x – 4y + 7z) and (–6z + 6x + 3y) = (13x – 4y + 7z) + (–6z + 6x + 3y) = (13x – 4y + 7z – 6z + 6x + 3y) = (13x + 6x – 4y + 3y + 7z – 6z) = (19x – y + z) Now we have to find the sum of (6x – 4y – 4z) and (2x + 4y – 7) = (6x – 4y – 4z) + (2x + 4y – 7) = (6x – 4y – 4z + 2x + 4y – 7) = (6x + 2x – 4z – 7) = (8x – 4z – 7) Now, required expression = (8x – 4z – 7) – (19x – y + z) = 8x – 4z – 7 – 19x + y – z = 8x – 19x + y – 4z – z – 7 = –11x + y – 5z – 7 |

State whether the statements are true (T) or false (F)Factorised form of p2 + 30p + 216 is (p + 18) (p - 12). |
|
Answer» False Factorizing the equation p2 + 30p + 216, by splitting the middle term of the equation: p2 + 30p + 216 = p2 + 18p + 12p + 216 [∵, (18p + 12p) = 30p & (18p × 12p) = 216p2) ⇒ p2 + 30p + 216 = p (p + 18) + 12 (p + 18) ⇒ p2 + 30p + 216 = (p + 12) (p + 18) But, (p + 12)(p + 18) ≠ (p + 18)(p – 12) |
