Answers

1. Answer :

(x + 2)is in the form of (a + b)2

Comparing (a + b)and (x + 2)2, we get

a = x

b = 2

Write the formula / expansion for (a + b)2.

(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2

Substitute x for a and 2 for b.

(x + 2)2 = x2 + 2(x)(2) + 32

(x + 2)2 = x2 + 4x + 9

So, the expansion of (x + 2)2 is

x2 + 4x + 9

2. Answer :

(x - 5)is in the form of (a - b)2

Comparing (a - b)and (x - 5)2, we get

a = x

b = 5

Write the formula / expansion for (a - b)2.

(a - b)2 = a2 - 2ab + b2

Substitute x for a and 5 for b. 

(x - 5)2 = x2 - 2(x)(5) + 52

(x - 5)2 = x2 - 10x + 25

So, the expansion of (x - 5)2 is

x2 - 10x + 25

3. Answer :

(5x + 3)is in the form of (a + b)2

Comparing (a + b)and (5x + 3)2, we get

a = 5x

b = 3

Write the expansion for (a + b)2.

(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2

Substitute 5x for a and 3 for b. 

(5x + 3)2 = (5x)2 + 2(5x)(3) + 32

(5x + 3)2 = 25x2 + 30x + 9

So, the expansion of (5x + 3)2 is

25x2 + 30x + 9

4. Answer :

(5x - 3)is in the form of (a - b)2

Comparing (a - b)and (5x - 3)2, we get

a = 5x

b = 3

Write the expansion for (a - b)2.

(a - b)2 = a2 - 2ab + b2

Substitute 5x for a and 3 for b. 

(5x - 3)2 = (5x)2 - 2(5x)(3) + 32

(5x - 3)2 = 25x2 - 30x + 9

So, the expansion of (5x - 3)2 is

25x2 - 30x + 9

5. Answer :

(x - 1/x)is in the form of (a - b)2

Comparing (a - b)and (x + 1/x)2, we get

a = x

b = 1/x

Write the expansion for (a + b)2.

(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2

Substitute x for a and 1/x for b. 

(x + 1/x)2 = x2 - 2(x)(1/x) + (1/x)2

(x + 1/x)2 = x2 + 2 + 1/x2

So, the expansion of (x + 1/x)2 is

x2 + 2 + 1/x2

6. Answer :

(4x - 1/2) is in the form of (a - b)2

Comparing (a - b)and (4x - 1/2)2, we get

a = 4x

b = 1/2

Write the expansion for (a + b)2.

(a - b)2 = a2 - 2ab - b2

Substitute 4x for a and 1/2 for b. 

(4x - 1/2)2 = (4x)2 - 2(4x)(1/2) + (1/2)2

(4x - 1/2)2 = 16x2 - 4x + 1/22

(4x - 1/2)2 = 16x2 - 4x + 1/4

So, the expansion of (4x - 1/2)2 is

16x2 - 4x + 1/4

7. Answer :

a + b = 7

a2 + b2 = 29

To get the value of ab, we can use the formula or expansion of (a + b)2.

Write the formula / expansion for (a + b)2.

(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2

or

(a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab

Substitute 7 for (a + b)  and 29 for (a2 + b2).

72 = 29 + 2ab

49 = 29 + 2ab

Subtract 29 from each side. 

20 = 2ab

Divide each side by 2. 

10 = ab

So, the value of ab is 10. 

8. Answer :

a - b = 3

a2 + b2 = 29

To get the value of ab, we can use the formula or expansion of (a - b)2.

Write the formula / expansion for (a - b)2.

(a - b)2 = a2 - 2ab + b2

or

(a - b)2 = a2 + b- 2ab

Substitute 3 for (a - b)  and 29 for (a2 + b2).

32 = 29 - 2ab

9 = 29 - 2ab

Subtract 29 from each side. 

-20 = -2ab

Divide each side by -2. 

10 = ab

So, the value of ab is 10. 

9. Answer :

 (√2 + 1/√2)2 is in the form of (a + b)2

Comparing (a + b)and (√2 + (1/√2)2, we get

a = √2

b = 1/√2

Write the expansion for (a + b)2.

(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2

Substitute √2 for a and 1/√2 for b. 


(√2 + 1/√2)
2 = (√2)2 + 2(√2)(1/√2) + (1/√2)2

(√2 + 1/√2)2 = 2 + 2 + 1/2

(√2 + 1/√2)2 = 9/2

So, the value of (√2 + 1/√2)2 is

9/2

10. Answer :

 (√2 - 1/√2)2 is in the form of (a - b)2

Comparing (a - b)and (√2 - 1/√2)2, we get

a = √2

b = 1/√2

Write the formula / expansion for (a - b)2.

(a - b)2 = a2 - 2ab + b2

Substitute √2 for a and 1/√2 for b. 


(√2 - 1/√2)
2 = (√2)2 - 2(√2)(1/√2) + (1/√2)2

(√2 - 1/√2)2 = 2 - 2 + 1/2

(√2 - 1/√2)2 = 1/2

So, the value of (√2 - 1/√2)is

1/2

11. Answer :

Instead of multiplying 105 by 105 to get the value of (105)2, we can use the algebraic formula for (a + b)2 and find the value of (105)easily.

Write (105)in the form of (a + b)2.

(105)2 = (100 + 5)2

Write the expansion for (a + b)2.

(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2

Substitute 100 for a and 5 for b. 

(100 + 5)2 = (100)2 + 2(100)(5) + (5)2

(100 + 5)2 = 10000 + 1000 + 25

(105)2 = 11025

So, the value of (105)2 is

11025

12. Answer :

Instead of multiplying 95 by 95 to get the value of (95)2, we can use the algebraic formula for (a - b)and find the value of (95)easily.

Write (95)in the form of (a - b)2.

(95)2 = (100 - 5)2

Write the formula / expansion for (a - b)2.

(a - b)2 = a2 - 2ab + b2

Substitute 100 for a and 5 for b. 

(100 - 5)2 = (100)2 - 2(100)(5) + (5)2

(100 - 5)2 = 10000 - 1000 + 25

(95)2 = 9025

So, the value of (95)2 is

9025
