Expansions Exercise 3(a) Solution :

Question no – (1)

Solution : 

(i) (x + 4) (x + 2)

= x2 + 2x + 4x + 8

= (x + 2) (x + 4)

= x2 + 6x + 8

(ii) (4a – 5) (5a + 6)

= 20a2 + 24a – 25a – 30

= 20a2 – a – 30

(iii) (xy + 6) (xy – 5)

= x2y2 – 5xy + 6xy – 30

= x2y2 – xy – 30

(iv) (7x2 – 5y) (x2 – 3y)

= 7x4 – 21x2y – 5x2y2 + 15y2

= 7x4 – 26x2y + 15y2

Question no – (2)

Solution : 

(i) 3x + 5y

= (3x + 5y)2

= (3x)2 + 2.3x.5y + (5y)2

= 9x2 + 30xy + 25y2

(ii) 5y – 2z

= (5y – 2z)2

= (5y)2 – 2.5y.2z + (2z)2

= 25y2 – 20y2 + 2z2

(iii) 5p + 1/4q

= (5p – 1/4q)2

= (5p)2 – 2.5p.1/4q + (1/4q)2

= 25p2 – 5/2 p.q + 1/1622

(iv) (5x + 3y + z)2

= (5x + 3y + z)2

= {(5x +3y) + z}2

= (5x + 3y)2 + 2. (5x + 3y).z + z2

= (5x)2 + 2.5x.3y + 9y2 + 10xz + 6yz + z2

= 25x2 + 30xy + 9y2 + 10xz + 6yx + z2

Question no – (3) Simplify

Solution : 

(2x – p + c)2 – (2x + p – c)2

∴ (4x2 + p2 + c2 – 4px – 2pc + 4cx) – (4x2 + p2 + c2 + 4xp – 2pc – 4cx)

= 4x2 + p2 + c2 – 4xp – 2cp – 4x2 + 4cx – p2 – c2 – 4px + 2cp + 4cx

= – 8xp + 8cx

= – 8xp + 8xc…(Simplified)

Question no – (4)

Solution : 

(i) (3b + 7) (3b – 7)

= (b)2 – (7)2

= 9b– 492

Therefore, the product is 9b– 492

(ii) (1/3 – 5x) (1/3 + 5x)

= (1/3)2 – (5x)2

= 1/9 – 25x2

So, the product is 1/9 – 25x2

(iii) (x3 – 3) (x3 + 3)

= (x3 – 3) – (3)2

= x6 – 9

Hence, the product is x6 – 9

(iv) (a4 – 1/5y) (a4 + 1/5y)

= (a4)2 – (1/5y)2

= a8 – 1/25y2

Thus, the product is a8 – 1/25y2

Question no – (5) 

Solution : 

(i) (x + y) (x – y) (x2 + y2)

= (x2 – y2) (x2 + y2)

= (x2)2 – (y2)2

= x4 – y4

Thus, the product will be x4 – y4

(ii) (a2 + b2) (a4 + b4) (a + b) (a – b)

= (a2 + b2) (a4 + b4) (a2 – b2)

= {(a2)2 – (b2)2

= (a4 – b4) (a4 + b4)

= (a4)2 – (b4)2

= a8 – b8

Thus, the product will be a8 – b8

Question no – (6) 

Solution : 

(i) Given, x2 + 8x + 16

= x2 + 2.x4 + 42

= (x + 4)2

 (It is Perfect square)

(ii) y2 + 3y + 9

= y2 + 2.y.3 + 32

 (It is not perfect square)

(iii) 4m2 – 4m + 1

= (2m)2 – 2.2m.1 + 12

= (2m – 1)2

 (It is perfect square)

(iv) 4x2 – 2 + 1/4x2

= (2x)2 – 2.2x, 1/2x + (1/2x)2

= (2x – 1/2x)2

 (It is perfect square)

(v) m2 + 6m + 4

= m2 + 2.m.3 + 32 + 4

∴ (It is perfect square)

Question no – (7) 

Solution : 

Given, 4x2 – 12x + k

= (2x)2 – 2.2x × 3 + 32

Comparing we get,

k = 32

k =  9

Thus, the value of k will be 9

Question no – (8) 

Solution : 

(i) 4a2 + 28a

= (2a)2 + 2.2a.7a + (7)2

∴ To complete perfect square we have to add 72 – 49

∴ (2a + 7)2

(ii) 36a2 + 49b2

= (6a)2 + (7b)2 + 2.6a.7b

To complete square we have to add

= 2 × 6a × 7b = 84ab

(iii) 4a2 + 81

= (2a)2 + 2.2a.9 + 92

To complete perfect square we have to add 36a

∴ (2a + 9)2

(iv) 9a2 + 2ab + b2

= (3a)2 + 2.3a.b + b2

To complete perfect square, we have to add 6ab – 2ab = 4ab

∴ (3a + b)2

Question no – (9)

Solution : 

(i) (a + 1)3

= 3a + 3.a2.1 + 3.a.12 + 13

= a3 + 3a2 + 3a + 1

(ii) (3x – 2y)3

= (3x)3 – 3. (3x)2 2y. + 3.3x (2y)2 + (2y)3

= 27x3 – 54x2y + 36xy2 + 8y3

(iii) (x2 + y)3

= (x2)3 + 3.(x2)2.y + 3.x2.y2 + (y)3

= x⁶ + 6 3x4y + 3x2y2 + y3

(iv) (2x – 1/3x)

= (2x)3 – 3. (2x)2. 1/3x.2x (1/3x)2 – (1/3x)3

= 8x– 3x 4x2, 1/3x + 6x. 1/9x2 – 1/27x3

= 8x3 – 4x + 2/3x – 1/27x3

Expansions Exercise 3(b) Solution :

Question no – (1)

Solution : 

(i) a + b = 9,

ab = 20

Now,  = a2 + b2

= (a + b)2 – 2ab

= (9)2 – 2 × 20 [∵ a + b = 9, ab = 20]

= 81 – 40

= 41

So, the value of a2 + bis 41

(ii) (p + q)2 + (p – q)2 = 2, (p2 + q2)

So, 2(p2 + q2) = (p + q)2 + (p – q)2

= (14)2 + 62

= 196 + 36

= 232/2

∴ p2 + q= 16

So, the value of p2 + qis 16

(iii) Given, m + n = 8 and m – n = 2

= m + n = 8 – (i)

= m – n = 2 – (ii)

= 1 + (ii)

= 2m = 8 + 2

= m = 10/2

= 5

Putting value in (i)

= m + n = 8

= n = 8 – 5

= 3

So, mn = 5 × 3

= 15

Thus, the value of mn is 15.

(iv) x + 1/x = 3 (given)

= (x + 1/x)2 = 32

= x2 + 2.x . 1/x + 1/x2 = 9

= x2 + 1/x2 = 9 – 2

= 7

Again squaring both side,

= (x2 + 1/x2)2 = (7)2

= (x2)2 + 2.x2, 1/x2 + (1/x2)2 = 49

= x4 + 1/x4 = 49 – 2

= 47

Hence, the value is 47

(v) x + 1/x = √5

∴ x + 1/x = √5

= (x + 1/x)2 = (√5)2

= x2 + 2.x. 1/x + 1/x2 = 5 – 2

= 3

∴ (x – 1/x)2 = x2 + 1/x2 – 2

= 3 – 2

= – 1

∴ x – 1/x = ± 1

So, the value is ± 1

Question no – (2) 

Solution : 

(i) Given, a2 + b2 + c2 find a + b + c = 17

Squaring both side,

= (a + b + c)2 = (17)2

= a+ b2 + c2 + 2 (ab + bc + ca) = 289

= a2 + b2 + c2 + 2 × 30 = 289

= a+ b+ c2 = 289 – 60

= 229

So, the value is 229

(ii) According to the question, 

a + b + c = 15

a2 + b2 + c2 = 77

Squaring both side, 

= (a + b + c)2 = (15)2

= a2 + b2 + c2 + 2 (ab + bc + ca) = 225

= 77 + 2 (ab + bc + ca) = 225

= 2 (ab + bc + ca) = 225 – 77 = 148

(ab + bc + ca) = 148/2

= 74

Thus, the value of ab + bc + ca is 74

(iii) a2 + b2 + c2 = 50,

ab + bc + ca = 47

 (a + b + c)2

= a2 + b2 + c2 + 2 (ab + bc + ca)

= 50 + 2 × 94

= 50 + 94

= a + b + c = √144

=  ± 12

Thus, the value of a + b + c is ± 12

Question no – (3) 

Solution : 

(i) Given,

x = 1,

y = 2

∴ 8x3 + 84x2y + 294xy2 + 343y3

= (2x)3 + 3. (2x)2, 7y + 3, 2x. (7y)2 + (7y)3

= (2x + 7y)3

= (2 × 1 + 7 × 2)3

= (2 + 14)3

= (16)3

= 4096

Thus, the value will be 4096

(ii) In the question, x = 2, y = 1

∴ (3x)3 – 3 (3x)3. y + 3. (3x)2.y2 – y3

= (3x – y)2

= (3 × 2 – 1)3

= (6 – 1)3

= 53

= 125

Hence, the value is 125

Question no – (4) 

Solution : 

(i)  a + b = 3

ab = 2

∴ a + b + 3 = ab = 2

= a+ b2 = (a + b)3 – 3ab (a + b)

= (3)3 – 3 × 2 × 3

= 27 – 18

= 9

Thus, the value of a3 + bis 9

(ii) (x + 1/x) = 3 (according to the question)

∴ x + 1/x = 3

= x3 + 1/x3 = (x + 1/x)3 – 3 x. 1/x (x + 1/x)

= (3)3 – 3 × 3

= 27 – 9

= 18

Therefore, the value is 18.

(iii) x3 – 1/x3 if x2 + 1/x2 = 18 (given)

= x2 + 1/x2 – 2 = 18 – 2

= (x – 1/x)2 = 16

= (x – 1/x) = (4)2

= (x – 1/x) = 4

x3 – 1/x3
= (x – 1/x)3 + 3. (x – 1/x)

= (4)3 + 3 × 4

= 64 + 12

= 76

Thus, the value is 76

(iv) x3 + 1/125x3 if x2 + 1/25x2 = 8 3/5 …(given)

= x2 + 1/15x2 = 8 3/5

= (x + 1/5x)2 = 43/5

= x2 + 5x2 – 2x. 1/5x = 43/5

= (x + 1/5x)= 43/5 + 2

= 45/5

Now, x3 + 1/125x3

= (x + 1/5x)3 – 3 3.x 1/5x

= (3)3 – 3/5 × 3

= 27 – 9/5

= 135 – 9/5

= 126/5

= 251/5

= (xz + 1/5x)2 = 9

= (x + 1/5x) = √9

= ± 3

If (x + 1/5x) = 3

∴ x3 + 1/125x3

= 25 1/5

Hence, the value is 25 1/5

Question no – (5) 

Solution : 

(i) 102 ×  98

= (100 + 2) (100 – 2)

= (100)2 – (2)2

= 10000 – 4

= 9996

(ii) 10032 – 9972

= (1003 + 997) (1003 – 997)

= 2000 × 6

= 12000

(iii) (10)3 – (5)3 – (5)3

= 1000 – 125 – 125

= 750
