∆ = (1 + a2 + b2 + c2). Proved.
Question 3.


= 2abc2 [-a(a – b) + a (a + b)]
= 22bc2[-a + b + a + b]
= 2a2bc2.2b = 4a2b2c2. Proved.

R.H.S. Proved.
Question 7.
Prove that:

c2?
Solution:

= a2b2c2[2 (1 + 1)]
= a2b2c2.4 = 4a2b2c2. Proved.
Question 8.

Question 9.

Solution:

⇒ (3a – x).1.(4x2 – 0) = 0
⇒ 3a – x = 0, 4x2 = 0
⇒ x = 3a, 0.
Question 10.
Prove that:

Solution:
Let ∆ =


= a2 [7a + 3b – 6a – 3b]
= a2(a)
= a3. Proved.
Question 11.
Prove that:

Solution:
Let ∆


⇒ ∆ = 9y(x + y) [-x – y + x+ 2y]
⇒ ∆ = 9y2 (x + y). Proved.
Question 12.
Prove that:

Solution:
Let


![]()
= (5x + 4) (x – 4) (2x – x – 4)
= (5x + 4) (x – 4) (x – 4)
= (5x + 4) (x – 4)2. [∵(a – b)2 = (b – a)2]
⇒ ∆ = (5x + 4) (4 – x)2. Proved.
Question 13.
Prove that:

Solution:
Let ∆ =


= 2 (x + y) (x2 – xy + y2)
⇒ ∆ = – 2(x2 + y2). Proved.
Question 14.
Prove that:

Solution:
Let ∆ =

⇒ ∆ = (a – 1)2 (a + 1 – 2)
⇒ ∆ = (a – 1)2 (a – 1)
⇒ ∆ = (a – 1)3. Proved.
Question 15.
Prove that:

Solution:
Let ∆ =


= 9[x{(1 + y) (1 + 3z) – (1 + z)} – z{(x – y) – 0}]
= 9[x{1 + y + 3z + 3yz – 1 – z} – zx + zy]
= 9 [xy + 3xz + 3xyz – xz – zx + zy]
= 9 [3xyz + xy + yz + zx]. Proved.
