Factorise each of the following:
(i) 27y 3 + 125z 3
(ii) 64m3 – 343n 3
[ Hint : See Question 9. ]
(i) 27 y3 + 125 z3
= (3y)3 + (5z)3
= (3y + 5z) [(3y)2 + (5z)2 - (3y)(5z) ] [∵ a3 + b3 ]
= (a + b) (a2 + b2 - ab)
= (3y + 5z) [9y2 + 25z2 - 15yz]
(ii) 64m3 - 343n3
= (4m)3 - (7n)3
= (4m - 7n)[ (4m)2 + (7n)2 + (4m) (7n) ] [∵ a3 - b3 = (a - b) (a2 + b2 + 2ab) ]
= (4m - 7n) [16m2 + 49n2 + 28mn ]
Factorise each of the following:
(i) 8a 3 + b 3 + 12a 2b + 6ab2
(ii) 8a 3 – b 3 – 12a 2b + 6ab2
(iii) 27 – 125a 3 – 135a + 225a 2
(iv) 64a 3 – 27b 3 – 144a 2b + 108ab2
(v) 27p 3 – \(\frac{1}{ 216}\) – \(\frac{9 }{ 2}\) p2 + \(\frac{1 }{4}\) p
Expand each of the following, using suitable identities:
(i) (x + 2y + 4z) 2 (ii) (2x – y + z) 2 (iii) (–2x + 3y + 2z) 2
(iv) (3a – 7b – c) 2 (v) (–2x + 5y – 3z) 2 (vi) [ \(\frac{1 }{ 4}\) a - \(\frac{1 }{ 2}\) b + 1]2
In Fig. 9.26, A, B, C and D are four points on a circle. AC and BD intersect at a point E such that ∠ BEC = 130° and ∠ ECD = 20°. Find ∠ BAC.
