(x - 6)(x - 6) = ?A. (x2 - 36)B. (x2 + 36)C. (x2 - 6x + 36)D. (x2 - 12x + 36)

Answer»

(x - 6)(x - 6)By component wise multiplication

= x(x - 6) - 6(x - 6) 

(from above we can see that, x.x = x2, x.(-6) 

= - 6x, -6.x = - 6x, and -6.-6 = +36) 

= x2 - 6x - 6x + 36 

= x2 - 12x + 36 

Note: Multiplication of signs is given by-

(+) × (+) = + 

(+) × (-) = - 

(-)×(+)= - 

(-) × (-) = +

The formula used in the product of 96 × 104 is ………………. A) (a + b) (a – b) B)(a – b)2 C) (a – b)2 D) a2 – b

Answer»

A) (a + b) (a – b)

Correct option is (A) (a + b) (a – b)

\(96\times104\) = (100 - 4) \(\times\) (100 + 4)

Let a = 100, b = 4

Then \(96\times104\) = (a - b) (a + b)

\(\therefore\) Formula used in product of \(96\times104\) is (a + b) (a – b).

Find the product:(0.8x – 0.5y) (1.5x – 3y)

Answer»

(0.8x – 0.5y) (1.5x – 3y)

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= 0.8x, b= 0.5y, c= 1.5x, d= 3y

Now,

= 0.8x × (1.5x – 3y) – 0.5y × (1.5x – 3y)

= [(0.8x × 1.5x) + (0.8x × -3y)] – [(0.5y × 1.5x) + (0.5y × -3y)]

= [1.2x2 – 2.4xy – 0.75yx + 1.5y2]

= [1.2x2 – 3.15xy + 1.5y2]

158.

(x + 5) (x - 3) = ?A. x2 + 5x - 15B. x2 - 3x - 15C. x2 + 2x + 15D. x2 + 2x - 15

Answer»

After solving the equation, 

we get,

(x + 5)(x – 3) = x(x – 3) + 5(x – 3) 

= x2 – 3x + 5x – 15 

= x2 + 2x – 15

159.

(x + 4)(x + 4) = ?A. (x2 + 16)B. (x2 + 4x + 16)C. (x2 + 8x + 16)D. (x2 + 16x)

Answer»

We know that,

(x + 4)(x + 4) = (x + 4)2

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

(x + 4)2 = x2 + 42 + 2 × x × 4

= x2 + 8x + 16

160.

(2x + 3)(3x - 1) = ?A. (6x2 + 8x - 3)B. (6x2 + 7x - 3)C. 6x2 - 7x - 3D. (6x2 - 7x + 3)

Answer»

After solving the equations, 

we get, 

(2x + 3)(3x – 1) = 2x(3x – 1) + 3(3x – 1) 

= 6x2 – 2x + 9x – 3 

= 6x2 + 7x – 3

161.

Find each of the following products: (9x2 – x + 15) × (x2 – x – 1)

Answer»

By using horizontal method,

We have;

(9x2 – x + 15) × (x2 – x – 1)

= 9x2(x2 – x – 1) – x (x2 – x – 1) +15(x2 – x – 1)

= 9x4 – 9x3 – 9x2 – x3 + x2 + x + 15x2 – 15x – 15

Putting equal power terms together, we get,

= 9x4 – 9x3 – x3 – 9x2 + x2 + 15x2 – 15x + x – 15

= 9x4 – 10x3 + 7x2 – 14x – 15

= 2x2(3x2 – 5x + 4) + 3x(3x2 – 5x + 4) – 7(3x2 – 5x + 4) 

= 6x4 – 10x3 + 8x2 + 9x3 – 15x2 + 12x– 21x2 + 35x – 28 

Now, putting equal power terms together, we get, 

= 6x4 – 10x3 + 9x3 + 8x2 – 15x2– 21x2 + 35x + 12x– 28 

= 6x4 – x3 – 28x2 + 47x – 28

168.

Find each of the following products:(x2 – 3x + 7) × (2x + 3)

Answer»

By using horizontal method, 

We have; 

= (x2 – 3x + 7) × (2x + 3) 

= 2x(x2 – 3x + 7) + 3(x2 – 3x + 7) 

= 2x3 - 6x2 + 14x + 3x2 – 9x + 21 

By arranging the expression in the form of descending powers of x, 

We get; 

= 2x3 – 6x2 + 3x2 + 14x – 9x + 21 

= 2x3 – 3x2 + 5x + 21

= (x3 – 2x2 + 5) × (4x – 1) 

= 4x(x3 – 2x2 + 5) – 1(x3 – 2x2 + 5) 

= 4x4 – 8x3 + 20x – 1x3 + 2x2 – 5 

By arranging the expression in the form of descending powers of x, 

We get; 

= 4x4 – 8x3 – x3 + 2x2 + 20x – 5 

= 4x4 – 9x3 + 2x2 + 20x – 5

Solve the following equations.i. x + 7 = 4 ii. 4p = 12 iii. m – 5 = 4iv. t/3 = 6

Answer»

i. x + 7 = 4 

∴ x + 7 – 7 = 4 – 7 ….(Subtracting 7 from both sides) 

∴ x + 0 = -3 

∴ x = -3

ii. 4p = 12

∴ 4p/4 = 12/4 

….(Dividing both sides by 4)

∴ p = 3

iii. m – 5 = 4 

∴ m – 5 + 5 = 4 + 5 

…. (Adding 5 to both sides)

∴ m + 0 = 9 

∴ m = 9

iv. t/3 = 6

∴ t/3 × 3 = 6 × 3 

…. (Multiplying both sides by 3)

∴ t = 18
