Evaluate using the identify (a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2.(49)2

Answer»

492 = (50 – 1)2 

(a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2 

Here a = 50, b = 1 

(50 – 1)2 = 502 – (2)(50)(1) + 12 

= 2500 – 100 + 1 

(49)2 = 2401

52.

Evaluate using the identity (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2(10.2)2

Answer»

(10.2)2 = (10 + 0.2)2 

(a + b)2 = a+ 2ab + b2 

Here a = 10, b=0.2 

[(10 + (0.2))]2 = 102 + 2.(10).(0.2) + (0.2)2 

= 100 + 4 + 0.04 

(10.2)2 = 104.04

53.

Evaluate using the identity (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2(34)2

Answer»

342 = (30 + 4)2 (a + b)2 

= a2 + 2ab+ b2 

Here a = 30, b = 4 

(30 + 4)= (30)2 + 2 × 30 × 4 + (4)2 

= 900 + 240 + 16 

(34)2 = 1156

54.

Evaluate using the identity (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2(p2 – q2)2

Answer»

(a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2 

Here a = p2 , b = q2 

(p2 – q2)2 = (p2)2 – (2)(p2)(q2) + (q2)2 

= p4 – 2p2q2 + q4

Find the product:((1/5)x + 2y) ((2/3)x – y)

Answer»

((1/5)x + 2y) ((2/3)x – y)

Suppose (a + b) and (c – d) are two binomials. By using the distributive law of multiplication over addition twice, we may find their product as given below.

(a + b) × (c – d) = a × (c – d) + b × (c – d) = (a × c – a × d) + (b × c – b × d)

= ac – ad + bc – bd

Let,

a= (1/5)x, b= 2y, c= (2/3)x, d= y

Now,

= (1/5)x × ((2/3)x – y) + 2y × ((2/3)x – y)

= [((1/5)x × (2/3)x) + ((1/5)x × -y)] + [(2y × (2/3)x) + (2y × -y)]

= [(2/15)x2 – (1/5)xy + (4/3)yx – 2y2)]

= [(2/15)x2 + (17/15) xy – 2y2]

Answer»

(3/5)m2n(m + 5n)

Let p, q and r be three monomials.

Then, by distributive law of multiplication over addition, we have:

P × (q + r) = (p × q) + (p × r)

Now,

= ((3/5)m2n × m) + ((3/5)m2n × 5n)

= ((3/5)m3n + 3m2n2) … [∵ am × an = am+n]

61.

Find the product:((2/5)x – (1/2)y) (10x – 8y)

Answer»

((2/5)x – (1/2)y) (10x – 8y)

Suppose (a – b) and (c – d) are two binomials. By using the distributive law of multiplication over addition twice, we may find their product as given below.

(a – b) × (c – d) = a × (c – d) – b × (c – d) = (a × c – a × d) – (b × c – b × d)

= ac – ad – bc + bd

Let,

a= (2/5)x, b=(1/2)y, c= 10x, d= 8y

Now,

= (2/5)x × (10x – 8y) – (1/2)y × (10x – 8y)

= [((2/5)x × 10x) + ((2/5)x × -8y)] – [((1/2)y × 10x) + ((1/2)y × -8y)]

= [4x2 – (16/5)xy – 5yx + 4y2]

= [4x2 – (41/5)xy + 4y2]

Fill in the blanks to make the statement true.On adding a monomial _____________ to – 2x + 4y2 + z, the resulting expression becomes a binomial.

Answer»

On adding a monomial 2x or -4y2 or -z to – 2x + 4y2 + z, the resulting expression becomes a binomial.

2x + (-2x + 4y2 + z) = 2x – 2x + 4y2 + z

= 4y2 + z

-4y2 + (-2x + 4y2 + z) = -4y2 – 2x + 4y2 + z

= – 2x + z

-z + (-2x + 4y2 + z) = -z – 2x + 4y2 + z

= -2x + 4y2

Subtract the sum of 2x-x2+5 and -4x-3+7x2 from 5

Answer»

As given in the question, the Sum of 2x – x2 + 5 and -4x – 3 + 7x2 is given as:

= 2x – x2 + 5 – 4x – 3 + 7x2

= 2x – 4x – x2 + 7x2 + 5 – 3

= - 2x + 6x2 + 2 (i)

Now subtracting equation (i) from 5 we get,

Subtracting (ii) from (i), we get

= 5 - (-2x + 6x2 + 2)

= 5 + 2x – 6x2 – 2

= 3 + 2x – 6x2

Therefore, the resultant expression is 3 + 2x – 6x2

Fill in the blanks to make the statement true.3x + 23x2 + 6y2 + 2x + y2 + ____________ = 5x + 7y2.

Answer»

3x + 23x2 + 6y2 + 2x + y2 + (-23x2) = 5x + 7y2.

Let us consider the missing letter be p.

Then,

3x + 23x2 + 6y2 + 2x + y2 + p = 5x + 7y2

By transposing 3x, 23x2, 6y2, 2x and y2 to RHS

5x – 3x – 23x2 + 7y2 – 6y2 – 2x – y2 = p

2x – 2x – 23x2 + y2 – y2 = p

P = 0 – 23x2 – 0

P = – 23x2

Find the product:(x – 6) (4x + 9)

Answer»

(x – 6) (4x + 9)

Suppose (a – b) and (c + d) are two binomials. By using the distributive law of multiplication over addition twice, we may find their product as given below.

(a – b) × (c + d) = a × (c + d) – b × (c + d) = (a × c + a × d) – (b × c + b × d)

= ac + ad – bc – bd

Let,

a= x, b= 6, c= 24x, d= 9

Now,

= x × (4x + 9) -6 × (4x + 5)

= [(x × 4x) + (x × 9)] – [(6 × 4x) + (6 × 9)]

= [4x2 + 9x – 24x – 54]

= [4x2 – 15x – 54]

Find the product:(4x – 3) (2x + 5)

Answer»

(4x – 3) (2x + 5)

Suppose (a – b) and (c + d) are two binomials. By using the distributive law of multiplication over addition twice, we may find their product as given below.

(a – b) × (c + d) = a × (c + d) – b × (c + d) = (a × c + a × d) – (b × c + b × d)

= ac + ad – bc – bd

Let,

a= 4x, b= 3, c= 2x, d= 5

Now,

= 4x × (2x + 5) -3 × (2x + 5)

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

= [8x2 + 20x – 6x – 15]

= [8x2 + 14x – 15]
