:
2x2+13x+15=2x2+10x+3x+15=2x(x+5)+3(x+5)=(2x+3)(x+5)(x+5)=2x+3
Substituting x=2 in resulting expression gives 2×2+3=7.
:
(a+b)2+(a−b)2=(a2+b2+2ab)+(a2+b2−2ab)=2(a2+b2)
Dividing by a2+b2 we get,
= 2(a2+b2)(a2+b2)=2
Thus, ((a+b)2+(a−b)2)(a2+b2)=2
:
B
a2−2ab+b2−c2=(a−b)2–c2
Using identity x2−y2=(x+y)(x−y) we get
(a−b)2–c2 = [(a−b)+c][(a−b)−c]
Hence, factors of a2−2ab+b2−c2 are a−b+c and a−b−c
:
B and C
Given, the expression is
4x3+12x2+5x+15.
Taking 4x2 common from the first two-terms and 5 common from the last two-terms, we get
4x2(x+3)+5(x+3)
=(x+3)(4x2+5)
Thus, (x+3) and (4x2+5)
are two factors of the given expression.
:
D
Given: a2+7a+10(a+5) ...(i)
Comparing a2+7a+10 with the identity x2+(a+b)x+ab,
we note that,(a+b)=7 and ab=10
So, 5+2=7 and (5)(2)=10
Hence,
a2+7a+10
=a2+5a+2a+10
=a(a+5)+2(a+5)
=(a+2)(a+5)
From (i), we get
a2+7a+10(a+5)=(a+2)(a+5)(a+5)
=(a+2)
:
C
Given, the expression is
m2+7m−60(m−5).
Now, comparing the numerator with the identity x2+(a+b)x+ab
We note that,
(a+b)=7 and ab=−60.
So,
12+(−5)=7 and (12)(−5)=−60.
Hence,
m2+7m−60=m2+12m–5m–60=m(m+12)–5(m+12)=(m−5)(m+12)
Therefore,
m2+7m−60(m−5)=(m−5)(m+12)(m−5)=(m+12)
:
C
Given, the expression is 25+70x+49x2.
The given expression can be rewritten as,
49x2+70x+25
Using the identity: (a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2,we get
49x2+70x+25=(7x)2+2(5)(7x)+52
=(7x+5)2
=(7x+5)(7x+5)
∴25+70x+49x2=(7x+5)(7x+5)
:
A and B
The given expression can be written as,
49p2−36=(7p)2−(6)2
[Using the identity: a2−b2=(a+b)(a−b)]
=(7p+6)(7p−6)
Hence, (7p+6) and (7p−6)
are the factors of 49p2−36.
:
B
Comparing the coefficients of the different elements and dividing, we get:
246=4
x1=x
y2y=y
z2z2=1
Hence, we have 24xy2z2÷6yz2=4xy.
:
A
Divide all the terms of the expression (x3+2x2+3x) separately by 2x.
x32x=x22;
2x22x=x;
3x2x=32.
Therefore, (x3+2x2+3x)2x=x22+x+32=(x2+2x+3)2
