1.
(x+y+2z)(x2+y2+4z2-xy-2yz-2zx)
=(x+y+2z)(x2+y2+(2z)2-x\(\times\)y-y\(\times\)2z-x\(\times\)2z]
We know that
(a+b+c)(a2+b2+c2-ab-bc-ca)
=a3+b3+c3-3abc
\(\therefore\) (x+y+2z)(x2+y2+(2z)2-x\(\times\)y-y\(\times\)2z-x\(\times\)2z)
=(x)3+(y)3+(2z)3-3\(\times\)x\(\times\)y\(\times\)2z
= x3+y3+8z3-6xyz.
2.
a6-b6=(a3)2-(b3)2
=(a3-b3)(a3+b3)
=(a-b)(a2+b2+ab)(a+b)(a2+b2-ab)
=(a-b)(a+b)(a2+b2+ab)(a2+b2-ab).
3.
a=5, b=4
4.
\(8a^3-b^3-12a^2b+6ab^2\)
\(=(2a)^3-(b)^3-3(2a)(b)(2a-b)\)
\(=(2a-b)^3\) | Using Identity VII
\(=(2a-b)(2a-b)(2a-b)\)
5.
95 x 96
95 x 96=(90+5) x (90+6)
=(90)2+(5+6)(90)+(5)(6) | Using Identity IV
=8100+990+30=9120.
Aliter
95 x 96 = (100-5) x (100-4)
={100+(-5)} {100+(-4)}
=(100)2+{(-5)+(-4)}(100)+(-5)(-4) | Using Identity IV
=10000-900+20
=9120.
6.
\(p(x)=2{ x }^{ 3 }+{ x }^{ 2 }-2x-1\)
\(\\ g(x)=x+1\)
\(\\ g(x)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow \ x+1=0\ \Rightarrow \ x=-1\)
\(\therefore\) Zero of g(x) is -1.
Now, P(-1)
\(=2{ (-1) }^{ 3 }+{ (-1) }^{ 2 }-2(-1)-1\)
\(\\ =-2+1+2-1=0\)
\(\therefore\) By factor theorem, g(x) is a factor of p(x)
7.
\(p\left( -\frac { m }{ l } \right) =l\left( -\frac { m }{ l } \right) +m=-m+m=0\)
\(\therefore -\frac { m }{ l } \) is a zero of p(x)
8.
\(\therefore \ p(0)={ (0) }^{ 2 }-(0)+1=1\)
\( p(1)={ (1) }^{ 2 }-(1)+1=1\)
and \(p(2)={ (2) }^{ 2 }-(2)+1=4-2+1=3\)
9.
quadratic
10.
This expression is not a polynomial because in the term \(\frac { 2 }{ y } \) , the exponent of y is (- 1) which is not a whole number.
11.
x2-3x=y, then
y2-8y-20=y2-10y+2y-2
=y(y-10)+2(y-10)
=(y-10)(y+2)
=(x2-3x-10)(x2-3x+2)
=(x2-5x+2x-10)(x2-2x-x+2)
=[x(x-5)+2(x-5)][x(x-2)-1(x-2)]
=[(x-5)(x+2)][(x-1)(x-2)]
=(x-1)(x-2)(x+2)(x-5)
12.
We know that
\({ \left( x+\frac { 1 }{ x } \right) }^{ 3 }={ x }^{ 3 }+\frac { 1 }{ { x }^{ 3 } } +3(x)\left( \frac { 1 }{ x } \right) \left( x+\frac { 1 }{ x } \right) \)
\(\Rightarrow { \left( x+\frac { 1 }{ x } \right) }^{ 3 }={ x }^{ 3 }+\frac { 1 }{ { x }^{ 3 } } +3\left( x+\frac { 1 }{ x } \right) .\)
\(\Rightarrow { (7) }^{ 3 }={ x }^{ 3 }+\frac { 1 }{ { x }^{ 3 } } +3(7)\)
\(\Rightarrow { x }^{ 3 }+\frac { 1 }{ { x }^{ 3 } } =322\)
13.
We know that
\((a+b+c)^2=a^2+b^2+c^2+2ab+2bc+2ca\)
\(\Rightarrow (a+b+c)^2=a^2+b^2+c^2+2(ab+bc+ca)\)
\(\Rightarrow (a+b+c)^2=280+2\frac{9}{2}=289=(17)^2\)
\(\Rightarrow a+b+c=17\) Extracting square root of both sides
\(\Rightarrow (a+b+c)^3=(17)^3=4913\)
14.
\(p(z)={ 3z }^{ 2 }=4z+\sqrt { 17 } \)
\(\therefore p(3)=3{ (3) }^{ 2 }-4(3)+\sqrt { 17 }\)
\(=15+\sqrt { 17 }\)
15.
7
16.
\({ \left( \frac { 8 }{ 15 } \right) }^{ 3 }-{ \left( \frac { 1 }{ 3 } \right) }^{ 3 }-{ \left( \frac { 1 }{ 5 } \right) }^{ 3 }=\frac { x }{ 75 } \) .....(i)
Let \(\frac { 8 }{ 15 } =a,\frac { -1 }{ 3 } =b,\frac { -1 }{ 5 } =c\)
\(a+b+c=\frac { 8 }{ 15 } -\frac { 1 }{ 3 } -\frac { 1 }{ 5 } \)
\(=\frac { 8-5-3 }{ 15 } =0\)
\(\therefore\) a3+b3+c3=3abc .......(ii)
Using eqn. (i) and (ii), we get
\(3\times \frac { 8 }{ 15 } \times \frac { -1 }{ 3 } \times \frac { -1 }{ 5 } =\frac { x }{ 75 } \)
x=8.
17.
x4-y4=(x2)2-(y2)2

=12p2-18pq+10pq-15q2
=6p(2p-3q)+5q(2p-3q)
=(2p-3q)(6p+5q)
=[2(x2+7)-3(2x-1][6(x2+7)+5(2x-1)]
=(2x2+14-6x+3)(6x2+42+10x-5)
=(2x2-6x+17)(6x2+10x+37).
19.
(2x-3y+z)2=[2x+(-3y)+z]2
=(2x)2+(-3y)2+z2+2\(\times\) 2x\(\times\)(-3y)+2\(\times\)(-3y)\(\times\)z+2\(\times\)2x\(\times\)z
= 4x2+9y2+z2-12xy-6yz+4xz.
20.
p(x) = x3+x2+x+1
Put, \(x-\frac { 1 }{ 2 } =0\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad x=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } in\quad p(x)\)
Remainder = \(p\left( \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) \)
\(={ \left( \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) }^{ 3 }+{ \left( \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) }^{ 2 }+\left( \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \right) +1\)
\(=\frac { 1 }{ 8 } +\frac { 1 }{ 4 } +\frac { 1 }{ 2 } +1+1\)
