Question 12 Marks
What are the possible expression for the cuboid having volume 3x2 - 12x.
Answer
Volume = 3x2 - 12x
= 3x(x - 4)
= 3 × x(x - 4)
Also volume = Length × Breadth × Height
$\therefore$ Possible expression for dimensions of cuboid are = 3, x, (x - 4)

Question 22 Marks
Multiply:
(x2 + y2 + z2 - xy + xz + yz) by (x + y -z)
Answer
(x2 + y2 + z2 - xy + xz + yz) by (x + y -z)
= (x + y - z)(x2 + y2 + z2 - xy + xz + yz)
= (x + y + (-z))(x2 + y2 + (-z)2 - xy - y(-z) - (-z)x)
= x3 + y3 + (-z)3 - 3xyz(-z) $\big[\because$ (a + b + c)(a2 + b2 + c2 - ab - bc - ca) = a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc$\big]$
= x3 + y3 - z3 + 3xyz

Answer
= (x - 2y - z)(x2 + 4y2 + z2 + 2xy + xz - 2yz)
= (x + (-2y) + (-z))(x2 + (-2y)2 + (-z)2 - x(-2y) - (-2y)(-z) - (-z)x)
= x3 + (-2y)3 + (-z)3 - 3 × x(-2y)(-z) $\big[\because$ (a + b + c)(a2 + b2 + c2 - ab - bc - ca) = a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc$\big]$
= x3 - 8y3 - z3 + 3 × x × 2yz

Question 52 Marks
If a2 + b2 + c2 = 250 and ab + bc + ca = 3, find a + b + c.
Answer
Recall the formula
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
Given that
a2 + b2 + c2 = 250, ab + bc + ca = 3
Then we have
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
(a + b + c)2 = 250 + 2.(3)
(a + b + c)2 = 256
(a + b + c) = ±16

Question 62 Marks
If a2 + b2 + c2 = 20 and a + b + c = 0, find ab + bc + ca.
Answer
Recall the formula
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
Given that
a2 + b2 + c2 = 20
(a + b + c) = 0
Then we have
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
(0)2 = 20 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
20 + 2(ab + bc + ca) = 0
2(ab + bc + ca) = -20
(ab + bc + ca) = -10

Question 72 Marks
If a + b + c = 9 and ab + bc + ca = 40, find a2 + b2 +c2.
Answer
Recall the formula

(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)

Given that

(a + b + c) = 9, ab + bc + ca = 40,

Then we have

(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)

(9)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2.(40)

a2 + b2 + c2 + 80 = 81

a2 + b2 + c2 = 81 - 80

a2 + b2 + c2 = 1

Question 82 Marks
If a + b + c = 0, then write the value of a3 + b3 + c3.
Answer
Recall the formula
a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc = (a + b + c)(a2 + b2 + c2 - ab - bc - ca)
When, (a + b + c) = 0, we have
a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc = 0.(a2 + b2 + c2 - ab - bc - ca)
= 0
a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc = 0
⇒ a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc

Question 92 Marks
Give the possible expression for the length & breadth of the rectangle having 35y2 - 13y - 12 as its area.
Answer
Area is given as 35y2 - 13y - 12
Splitting the middle term,
Area = 35y+ 218y - 15y - 12
= 7y(5y + 4) - 3(5y + 4)
= (5y + 4)(7y - 3)
We also know that area of rectangle = length × breadth
$\therefore$ Possible length = (5y + 4) and breadth = (7y - 3)
Or possible length = (7y - 3) and breadth = (5y + 4)

Question 102 Marks
Factorize the following expressions:
y3 + 125
Answer
y3 + 125
= y3 + 53
$\therefore$ [a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 - ab + b2)]
= (y + 5)(y- 5y + 52)
= (y + 5)(y2 - 5y + 25)
$\therefore$ y3 + 125
= (y + 5)(y2 - 5y + 25)

Question 122 Marks
Factorize the following expressions:
x3 - 8y3 + 27z3 + 18xyz
Answer
x3 - 8y3 + 27z3 + 18xyz
= x3 + (-2y)3 + (3z)3 - 3 × x ×(-2y)(3z)
= (x + (-2y) + 3z)(x2 + (-2y)2 +(3z)2 - x(-2y) - (-2y)(3z) - 3z(x))
$\big[\because$ a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc = (a + b + c)(a2 + b2 + c2 - ab - bc - ca)$\big]$
= (x - 2y + 3z)(x2 + 4y2 + 9z2 + 2xy + 6yz - 3zx)
$\therefore$ x3 - 8y3 + 27z3 + 18xyz = (x - 2y + 3z)(x2 + 4y2 + 9z2 + 2xy + 6yz - 3zx)

Question 202 Marks
Factorize the following expressions:
(a - 3b)3 + (3b - c)3 + (c - a)3
Answer
 (a - 3b)3 + (3b - c)3 + (c - a)3

Let (a - 3b) = x, (3b - c) = y, (c - a) = z

x + y + z = a - 3b + 3b - c + c - a = 0

Question 302 Marks
Factorize:
x4 + x2y2 + y4
Answer
x4 + x2y2 + y4
Adding x2y2 and subtracting x2y2 to the given equation
= x4 + x2y2 + y4 + x2y2 - x2y2
= x4 + 2x2y+ y4 - x2y2
= (x2)2 + 2 × x2 × y2 + (y2)2 - (xy)2
Using the identity (p + q)2 = p2 + q2 + 2pq
= (x2 + y2)2 - (xy)2
Using the identity p2 - q2 = (p + q)(p - q)
= (x2 + y2 + xy)(x2 + y2 - xy)
$\therefore$ x4 + x2y2 + y4 = (x2 + y+ xy)(x2 + y2 - xy)

Question 392 Marks
Factorize:
a3x3 - 3a2bx2 + 3ab2x - b3
Answer
a3x3 - 3a2bx2 + 3ab2x - b3
= (ax)3 - 3(ax)2 × b + 3(ax)b2 - b3
= (ax - b)3 $\big[\because$ a3 - 3a2b + 3ab2 - b3= (a - b)3$\big]$
= (ax - b)(ax - b)(ax - b)
$\therefore$ a3x3 - 3a2bx2 + 3ab2x - b3
= (ax - b)(ax - b)(ax - b)

Question 402 Marks
Factorize:
a2 - b2 + 2bc - c2
Answer
a2 - b2 + 2bc - c2
a2 - (b2 - 2bc + c2)
Using the identity (a - b)2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab
= a2 - (b - c)2
Using the identity a2 - b2 = (a + b)(a - b)
= (a + b - c)(a - (b - c))
= (a + b - c)(a - b + c)
$\therefore$ a2 - b2 + 2bc - c2
= (a + b - c)(a - b + c)

Question 412 Marks
Factorize:
a2 + b2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
Answer
= a2 + b2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca
Using the identity (p + q)2 = p2 + q2 + 2pq
We get,
= (a + b)2 + 2bc + 2ca
= (a + b)2 + 2c(b + a)
Or (a + b)2 + 2c(a + b)
Taking (a + b) common
= (a + b)(a + b + 2c)
$\therefore$ a+ b2 + 2(ab + bc + ca) = (a + b)(a + b + 2c)

Question 472 Marks
Factorize:
2(x + y)2 - 9(x + y) - 5
Answer
Let x + y = z
= 2z2 - 9z - 5
Splitting the middle term,
= 2z2 - 10z + z - 5
= 2z(z - 5) + 1(z - 5)
= (z - 5)(2z + 1)
Substituting z = x + y
= (x + y - 5)(2(x + y) + 1)
= (x + y - 5)(2x + 2y + 1)
$\therefore$ 2(x + y)2 - 9(x + y) - 5 = (x + y - 5)(2x + 2y + 1)
