Question 12 Marks
Write the following in the expanded form:
(a2 + b2 + c2)2
Answer
We have,
(a2 + b2 + c2)2 = (a2)+ (b2)2 + (c2)2 + 2a2b2 + 2b2c+ 2a2c2
$\big[\therefore$(x + y + z)2 = x2 + y2 + z2 + 2xy + 2yz + 2xz$\big]$
(a2 + b2 + c2)2 = a4 + b4 + c4 + 2a2b2 + 2b2c2 + 2c2a2

Question 22 Marks
Write the following in the expanded form:
(2 + x - 2y)2
Answer
We have,
(2 + x - 2y)2 = 2+ x2 + (-2y)2 + 2(2)(x) + 2(x)(-2y) + 2(2)(-2y)
$\big[\therefore$(x + y + z)2 = x2 + y2 + z2 + 2xy + 2yz + 2xz$\big]$
= 4 + x2 + 4y2 + 4x − 4xy - 8y
(2 + x - 2y)2 = 4 + x2 + 4y2 + 4x - 4xy - 8y

Question 142 Marks
Simplify the following:
322 × 322 - 2 × 322 × 22 + 22 × 22
Answer
We have,
322 × 322 - 2 × 322 × 22 + 22 × 22
= (322-22)2 [a+ b- 2ab = (a – b)2]
= (300)2 [ Where a = 322 and b = 22]
= 90000

Question 152 Marks
Simplify the following:
175 × 175 + 2 × 175 × 25 + 25 × 25
Answer
We have,
175 × 175 + 2 × 175 × 25 + 25 × 25 = (175)2 + 2(175)(25) + (25)2
= (175 + 25)2 [a+ b+ 2ab = (a + b)2]
= (200)[Where a = 175 and b = 25]
= 40000

Question 192 Marks
If  $\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}=11$ find the value of $\text{x}^2+\frac{1}{\text{x}^2}.$
Answer
We have $\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}=11$
Now, $\Big(\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)^2=\text{x}^2+\big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\big)^2+2\times\text{x}\times\frac{1}{\text{x}}$
$\Rightarrow\Big(\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)^2=\text{x}^2+\frac{1}{\text{x}^2}+2$
$\Rightarrow(11)^2=\text{x}^2+\frac{1}{\text{x}^2}+2$
$\Rightarrow121=\text{x}^2+\frac{1}{\text{x}^2}+2$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2+\frac{1}{\text{x}^2}=119.$

$\Big(2\text{x}-\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)^2=(2\text{x})^2+\big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\big)^2-2.2\text{x}.\frac{1}{\text{x}}$
$\Big(2\text{x}-\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)^2=4\text{x}^2+\frac{1}{\text{x}^2}-4$ $\begin{bmatrix}\because(\text{a}-\text{b})^2=\text{a}^2+\text{b}^2-2\text{ab},\\\text{Where}\ \text{a}=2\text{x}\ \text{and}\ \text{b}=\frac{1}{\text{x}}\end{bmatrix}$
$\therefore\Big(2\text{x}-\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)^2=4\text{x}^2+\frac{1}{\text{x}^2}-4$

Question 352 Marks
Evaluate the following using identities:
$\big(1.5\text{x}^2-0.3\text{y}^2\big)\big(1.5\text{x}+0.3\text{y}^2\big)$
Answer
We have,
$\big(1.5\text{x}^2-0.3\text{y}^2\big)\big(1.5\text{x}+0.3\text{y}^2\big)$
$=\big[1.5\text{x}^2\big]^2-\big[0.3\text{y}^2\big]^2$ $\begin{bmatrix}\because(\text{a}+\text{b})(\text{a}-\text{b})=\text{a}^2-\text{b}^2\\\text{a}=1.5\text{x}^2\ \text{and}\ \text{b}=0.3\text{y}^2\end{bmatrix}$
$=2.25\text{x}^4-0.09\text{y}^4$
$=\big[1.5\text{x}^2-0.3\text{y}^2\big]\big[1.5\text{x}^2+0.3\text{y}^2\big]\\=2.25\text{x}^4-0.09\text{y}^4.$

Question 362 Marks
Evaluate the following using identities:
$(2\text{x} +\text{y})(2\text{x} - \text{y})$
Answer
We have,
$(2\text{x} +\text{y})(2\text{x} - \text{y})$
$= (2\text{x})^2 - (\text{y})^2 $ $\begin{bmatrix}\because(\text{a}+\text{b})(\text{a}-\text{b})=\text{a}^2-\text{b}^2\\\text{Where}\ \text{a}=2\text{x}\ \text{and}\ \text{b}=\text{y}\end{bmatrix}$
$=4\text{x}^2-\text{y}^2$
$(2\text{x}+\text{y})(2\text{x}-\text{y})=4\text{x}^2-\text{y}^2$

Question 372 Marks
Evaluate the following using identities:
(399)2
Answer
We have,
399= (400 - 1)2
= (400)+ (1)2 - 2 × 400 × 1 [(a - b)2 = a+ b- 2ab]
Where, a = 400 and b = 1
= 160000 + 1 - 8000
= 159201
Therefore, (399)2 = 159201

Question 382 Marks
Evaluate the following using identities:
(0.98)2
Answer
We have,
(0.98)2 = (1 - 0.02)2
= (1)+ (0.02)2 - 2 × 1 × 0.02
= 1 + 0.0004 - 0.04 [Where, a = 1 and b = 0.02]
= 1.0004 - 0.04
= 0.9604
Therefore, (0.98)2 = 0.96041

Question 392 Marks
Evaluate:
483 - 303 - 183
Answer
Let a = 48, b = -30 and c = -18
Then,
a + b + c = 48 - 30 - 18
= 0
$\therefore$ a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc
⇒ (48)3 + (-30)3 + (-18)3 = 3 × (48) × (-30) × (-18)
= 144 × 540
= 77760
$\therefore$ 483 - 303 - 18= 77760

Question 402 Marks
Evaluate:
253 - 753 + 503
Answer
Let a = 25, b = -75 and c = 50
Then,
a + b + c = 25 - 75 + 50
= 0
$\therefore$ a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc
⇒ (25)3 + (-75)3 + (50)3 = 3 × 25 × (-75) × 50
= -75 × 75 × 50
= -5625 × 50
= -281250
$\therefore$ 253 - 753 + 503 = -281250

Question 412 Marks
Evaluate:
(0.2)3 - (0.3)3 + (0.1)3
Answer
Let a = 0.2, b = -0.3 and c = 0.1
Then,
a + b + c = 0.2 - 0.3 + 0.1
= 0.3 - 0.3
⇒ a + b + c = 0
$\therefore$ a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc
⇒ (0.2)3 + (-0.3)3 + (0.1)3 = 3 × (0.2) × (-0.3) × (0.1)
= -0.018
