Question 1.

ii. x³ – 64y³
= x³ – (4y)³
Here, a = x and b = 4y
∴ x³ – 64y³ = (x – 4y)[x² + x(4y) + (4y)²]
…[∵ a³ – b³ = (a – b)(a² + ab + b²)]
= (x – 4y)(x² + 4xy + 16y²)

iii. 27m³ – 216n³
= 27 (m³ – 8n³)
… [Taking out the common factor 27]
= 27 [m³ – (2n)³]
Here, a = m and b = 2n
∴ 27m³ – 216n³
= 27 {(m – 2n) [m² + m(2n) + (2n)²]}
….[∵ a³ – b³ = (a – b) (a² + ab + b²)]
= 27 (m – 2n)(m² + 2mn + 4n²)

iv. 125y³ – 1
= (5y)³ – 1³
Here, a = 5y and b = 1
∴ 125y³ – 1 = (5y – 1) [(5y)² + (5y)(1) + (1)²]
…[∵ a³ – b³ = (a – b)(a² + ab + b²)]
= (5y – 1) (25y² + 5y + 1)

Question 2.
Simplify:
i. (x + y)³ – (x – y)³
ii. (3a + 5b)³ – (3a – 5b)³
iii. (a + b)³ – a³ – b³
iv. p³ – (p + 1)³
v. (3xy – 2ab)³ – (3xy + 2ab)³
Solution:
i. (x + y)³ – (x – y)³
Here, a = x + y and b = x – y
(x + y)³ – (x – y)³
= [(x + y) – (x – y)] [(x + y)² + (x + y) (x – y) + (x – y)]
…[a³ – b³ = (a – b)(a² + ab + b²)]
= (x + y – x + y) [(x² + 2xy + y²) + (x² – y²) + (x² – 2xy + y²)]
= 2y(x² + x² + x² + 2xy – 2xy + y² – y² + y²)
= 2y (3x² + y²)
= 6x²y + 2y³

ii. (3a + 5b)³ – (3a – 5b)³
Here, A = 3a + 5b and B = 3a – 5b
= [(3a + 5b) – (3a – 5b)] [(3a + 5b)² + (3a + 5b) (3a – 5b) + (3a – 5b)²]
…[∵ A³ – B³ = (A – B)(A² + AB + B²)]
= (3a + 5b – 3a + 5b) [(9a² + 30ab + 25b²) + (9a² – 25b²) + (9a² – 30ab + 25b²)]
= 10b (9a² + 9a² + 9a² + 30ab – 30ab + 25b² – 25b² + 25b²)
= 10b (27a² + 25b²)
= 270a²b + 250b³

iii. (a + b)³ – a³ – b³
= a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ – a³ – b³
= 3a²b + 3ab²

iv. p³ – (p + 1)³
= p³ – (p³ + 3p² + 3p + 1) …[∵ (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³]
= p³ – p³ – 3p² – 3p – 1
= – 3p² – 3p – 1

v. (3xy – 2ab)³ – (3xy + 2ab)³
Here, A = 3xy – 2ab and B = 3xy + 2ab
∴ (3xy – 2ab)³ – (3xy + 2ab)³
= [(3xy – 2ab) – (3xy + 2ab)] [(3xy – 2ab)² + (3xy – 2ab) (3xy + 2ab) + (3xy + 2ab)²]
…[∵ A³ – B³ = (A – B) (A² + AB + B²)]
= (3xy – 2ab – 3xy – 2ab) [(9x²y² – 12xyab + 4a²b²) + (9x²y² – 4a²b²) + (9x²y² + 12xyab + 4a²b²)]
= (- 4ab) (9x²y² + 9x²y² + 9x²y² – 12xyab + 12xyab + 4a²b² – 4a²b² + 4a²b²)
= (- 4ab) (27 xy² + 4a²b²)
= -108x²y²ab – 16a³b³
