Example 2. Find the summation of 3x2 – 7xy – 5y2, x2 + 2xy + 7y2, 9x2 – 10xy – 15y2
Solution:
Given That:
let us consider equations as f(x),f(y),f(z).
f(x) = (3x2 – 7xy – 5y2)
f(y) = (x2 + 2xy + 7y2)
f(z) = (9x2 – 10xy – 15y2)
Here summation means adding i.e., adding of equation 1 and equation 2 and Equation 3.
f(x + y + z) = (3x2 – 7xy – 5y2) + (x2 + 2xy + 7y2) + (9x2 – 10xy – 15y2)
f(x + y + z) = 3x2 -7xy – 5y2 + x2 + 2xy + 7y2 + 9x2 – 10xy – 15y2
f(x + y + z) = 3x2 + x2 + 9x2 – 7xy + 2xy – 10xy – 5y2 + 7y2 – 15y2
f(x + y + z) = 13x2 – 15xy – 13y2
Example 3. Subtract: (2x – 3y + 4z) from (-3x + 8y – 8z)
Solution:
Given That
f(x) = (- 3x + 8y – 8z)_______ eq (1)
f(y) = (2x – 3y + 4z) _______ eq (2)
Now substraction of Equation 2 from equation 1
f(x – y) = (- 3x + 8y – 8z) – (2x – 3y + 4z)
f(x – y) = – 3x + 8y – 8z – 2x + 3y – 4z
f(x – y) = – 3x – 2x + 8y + 3y – 8z – 4z
f(x – y) = 5x + 11y – 12z
Example 4. Simplify: (x − y) (x2 + xy + y2) + (y − z) (y2 + yz + z2) + (z − x) (z2 + zx + x2)
Solution:
Given That :
f(x) = (x – y) (x2 + xy + y2) + (y − z) (y2 + yz + z2) + (z – x) (z2 + zx + x2)
= x (x2 + xy + y2) − y (x2 + xy + y2) + y (y2 + yz + z2) − z (y2 + yz + z2) + z (z2 + zx + x2) − x (z2 + zx + x2)
= x3 + x2y + xy2 – x2y – xy2 – y3 + y3 + y2z + yz2 -y2z – yz2 – z3 + z3 + xz2 + x2z – xz2 – 2z – x3
f(x) = 0
(x − y) (x2 + xy + y2) + (y − z) (y2 + yz + z2) + (z − x) (z2 + zx + x2) = 0
Example 5. Divide: (15 a3b2c – 10 ab2c – 25 a2bc2) by (- 5 abc)
Solution: \(\frac{15 a^3 b^2 c-10 a b^2 c-25 a^2 b c^2}{-5 a b c}\)
= \(-\frac{15 a^3 b^2 c}{5 a b c}+\frac{10 a b^2 c}{5 a b c}+\frac{25 a^2 b c^2}{5 a b c}\)
= \(-3 a^{3-1} b^{2-1} c^{1-1}+2 a^{1-1} b^{2-1} c^{1-1}+5 a^{2-1} b^{1-1} c^{2-1}\)
= \(-3 a^2 b^1 c^0+2 a^0 b^1 c^0+5 a^1 b^0 c^1\)
= \(-3 a^2 b+2 b+5 a c\) [a0 =1, b0 =1, c0 =1]
(15 a3b2c – 10 ab2c – 25 a2bc2) by (- 5 abc) = \(-3 a^2 b+2 b+5 a c\) [a0 =1, b0 =1, c0 =1]
Example 6. Find the square of a + 2b – c + 3d
Solution: (a + 2b – c + 3d)2
= {(a + 2b) – (c-3d)}2
= (a + 2b)2 – 2 (a + 2b) (c – 3d) + (c – 3d)2
= a2 + 2.a.2b + (2b)2 – 2 (ac – 3ad + 2bc – 6bd) + c2 – 2.c.3d + (3d)2
= a2 + 4ab + 4b2 -2ac + 6ad – 4bc + 12bd + c2 – 6cd + 9d2
= a2 + 4b2 + c2 + 9d2 + 4ab – 2ac + 6ad – 4bc + 12bd – 6cd
The square of a + 2b – c + 3d = a2 + 4b2 + c2 + 9d2 + 4ab – 2ac + 6ad – 4bc + 12bd – 6cd
Example 7. Express as perfect square and find the value. 25a2 – 30 (b – 2c) + 9 (b – 2c)2 where a = 1, b = -2, c = 3
Solution: 25a2 – 30 (b – 2c) + 9 (b – 2c)2
= (5a)2 – 2.5a.3 (b – 2c) + {3 (b- 2c)}2
= {5a – 3 (b – 2c)}2
= (5a – 3b + 6c)2
= (5.1 – 3(-2) + 6.3)2
= (5 + 6 + 18)2 = (29)2 = 841
25a2 – 30 (b – 2c) + 9 (b – 2c)2 = 841
Example 8. If a + b = 5 and ab= 6, then find the value of (a2 – b2)
Solution: a + b = 5, ab = 6
(a – b)2 = (a + b)2 – 4ab
= (5)2 – 4 x 6 = 25 – 24 = 1
= a – b ± √1 = ±1
a2 – b2 = (a + b) (a – b) = 5 x (± 1) = ± 5
The value of (a2 – b2) = ± 5
Example 9. If x + y = 12 and x – y = 4, then find the value of 3xy (x2 + y2).
Solution: x + y = 12, x – y = 4
3xy (x2 + y2)
= \(\frac{3}{8}\).4xy.2 (x2 + y2)
= \(\frac{3}{8}\){(x + y2 – (x − y)2} {(x + y)2 + (x − y)2}
= \(\frac{3}{8}\) x ((12)2– (4)2) ((12)2 + (4)2)
= \(\frac{3}{8}\) x (144 – 16) (144 + 16)
= \(\frac{3}{8}\) x128 x 160 = 7680
The value of 3xy (x2 + y2) = 7680
Example 10. If \(\left(\frac{a^2}{b^2}+t a+\frac{b^2}{25}\right)\) is a perfect square, then what will be the value of t where
a ≠ 0.
Solution: \(\frac{a^2}{b^2}+t a+\frac{b^2}{25}\)
= \(\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^2+2 \cdot \frac{a}{b} \cdot \frac{t b}{2}+\left(\frac{t b}{2}\right)^2-\left(\frac{t b}{2}\right)^2+\frac{b^2}{25}\)
= \(\left(\frac{a}{b}+\frac{t b}{2}\right)^2-\frac{t^2 b^2}{4}+\frac{b^2}{25}\)
As, given expression is a perfect square
so \(-\frac{t^2 b^2}{4}+\frac{b^2}{25}=0 \Rightarrow-\frac{t^2 b^2}{4}=-\frac{b^2}{25} \Rightarrow \frac{t^2 b^2}{4}=\frac{b^2}{25}\)
⇒ \(t^2=\frac{b^2}{25} \times \frac{4}{b^2} \Rightarrow t^2=\frac{4}{25} \Rightarrow t= \pm \sqrt{\frac{4}{25}} \Rightarrow t= \pm \frac{2}{5}\)

- x4 + x2 + 1
- x2 – 2 (a2 + b2) x + (a2 – b2)2
Solution:
1. \(a^2-b^2+2 b c-c^2\)
= \(a^2-\left(b^2-2 b c+c^2\right)\)
= \(a^2-(b-c)^2\)
= \((a+b-c)(a-b+c)\)
2. \(64 a x^2-49 a(x-2 y)^2\)
= \(a\left[64 x^2-49(x-2 y)^2\right]\)
= \(a\left[8 x^2-7(x-2 y)^2\right]\)
= \(a\left[(8 x)^2-(7 x-14 y)^2\right]\)
= \(a(8 x+7 x-14 y)(8 x-7 x+14 y)\)
= \(a(15 x-14 y)(x+14 y)\)
3. \(2 a^2 b^2+2 b^2 c^2+2 c^2 a^2-a^4-b^4-c^4\)
= \(4 a^2 b^2-2 a^2 b^2+2 b^2 c^2+2 c^2 a^2-a^4-b^4-c^4\)
= \(4 a^2 b^2-\left(a^4+b^4+c^4+2 a^2 b^2-2 b^2 c^2-2 c^2 a^2\right)\)
= \((2 a b)^2-\left(a^2+b^2-c^2\right)^2\)
= \(\left(2 a b+a^2+b^2-c^2\right)\left(2 a b-a^2-b^2+c^2\right)\)
= \(\left\{\left(a^2+2 a b+b^2\right)-c^2\right\}\left\{c^2-\left(a^2-2 a b+b^2\right)\right\}\)
= \(\left\{(a+b)^2-c^2\right\}\left\{c^2-(a-b)^2\right\}\)
= (a + b + c)(a + b – c)(c + a – b)(c – a + b)
4. \(x^4+x^2+1\)
= \(\left(x^2\right)^2+2 x^2 \cdot 1+(1)^2-x^2\)
= \(\left(x^2+1\right)^2-x^2\)
= \(\left(x^2+1+x\right)\left(x^2+1-x\right)\)
5. \(x^2-2\left(a^2+b^2\right) x+\left(a^2-b^2\right)^2\)
= \(x^2-2\left(a^2+b^2\right) x+(a+b)^2(a-b)^2\)
= \(x^2-\left\{(a+b)^2+(a-b)^2\right\} x+(a+b)^2(a-b)^2\)
= \(x^2-(a+b)^2 x-(a-b)^2 x+(a+b)^2(a-b)^2\)
= \(x\left\{x-(a+b)^2\right\}-(a-b)^2\left\{x-(a+b)^2\right\}\)
= \(\left\{x-(a+b)^2\right\}\left\{x-(a-b)^2\right\}\)
Example 12. Solve:
- 4x – 6 {8 – (x – 5)+ 7x} – 50 = 72
- \(\frac{1}{4}\)(x + 4) + \(\frac{1}{5}\)(x + 5) = \(\frac{1}{6}\)(x + 6) + \(\frac{1}{7}\)( x + 7)
- \(\frac{x-a}{b}+\frac{x-b}{a}+\frac{x-3 a-3 b}{a+b}=0\)
- 2 (x – 3) – (5 – 3x) = 3(x + 1)-5 (2 + x)
Solution:
1. 4x – 6 {8- (x – 5) + 7x} – 50 = 72
⇒ 4x – 6 {8x + 5 + 7x} = 72 + 50
⇒ 4x – 6 {6x + 13} = 122
⇒ 4x – 36x – 78 = 122
⇒ – 32x = 122 + 78
⇒ -32x = 200
⇒ x = –\(\frac{200}{32}\)
⇒ x = –\(\frac{25}{4}\)
2. \(\frac{1}{4}\)(x + 4) + \(\frac{1}{5}\)(x + 5) = \(\frac{1}{6}\)(x + 6) + \(\frac{1}{7}\)( x + 7)
⇒ \(\frac{x}{4}+1+\frac{x}{5}+1=\frac{x}{6}+1+\frac{x}{7}+1\)
⇒ \(\frac{x}{4}+\frac{x}{5}-\frac{x}{6}-\frac{x}{7}=1+1-1-1\)
⇒ \(\frac{105 x+84 x-70 x-60 x}{420}=0\)
⇒ \(\frac{59 x}{420}=0 \Rightarrow x=0\)
3. \(\frac{x-a}{b}+\frac{x-b}{a}+\frac{x-3 a-3 b}{a+b}=0\)
⇒ \(\frac{x-a}{b}+\frac{x-b}{a}+\frac{x-3(a+b)}{a+b}=0\)
⇒ \(\frac{x-a}{b}+\frac{x-b}{a}+\frac{x}{a+b}-3=0\)
⇒ \(\left(\frac{x-a}{b}-1\right)+\left(\frac{x-b}{a}-1\right)+\left(\frac{x}{a+b}-1\right)=0\)
⇒ \(\frac{x-a-b}{b}+\frac{x-b-a}{a}+\frac{x-a-b}{a+b}=0\)
⇒ (x – a – b)\(\left(\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{a+b}\right)\)
⇒ x – a – b = 0 [\(\left(\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{a+b}\right)\) ≠ 0]
⇒ x = a + b
4. 2 (x-3) – (5 – 3x) = 3(x + 1)- 5(2 + x)
2x – 6 – 5 + 3x = 3x + 3 – 10 – 5x
→ 2x + 3x – 3x + 5x = 3 – 10 + 6 + 5
⇒ 7x = 4
⇒ x = \(\frac{4}{7}\)
Example 13. Ten’s digit of a number of two digits is greater by 7 than the unit’s digit. Sum of the digits is \(\frac{1}{9}\) of the number. Find the number.
Solution: Let the digit at unit’s place be x. Then digit at ten’s place is (x + 7).
Number = 10 (x + 7) + x = 10x + 70 + x = 11x + 70
According to question,
x + (x + 7) = \(\frac{1}{9}\)(11x + 70)
⇒ 9(2x+7)= 11x + 70
⇒ 18x + 63 = 11x + 70
⇒ 18x – 11x = 70 – 63 7x = 7
⇒ x = \(\frac{7}{7}\) = 1
∴ The required number is (11 x 1 + 70) = 81
