Miscellaneous Practice Problems

Question 1.
Subtract: -2(xy)² (y³ + 7x²y + 5) from 5y² (x²y³ – 2x⁴y + 10x²)
Solution:
5y² (x²y³ – 2x⁴y + 10x²) – [(-2)(xy)² (y³ + 7x²y + 5)]
= [5y² (x²y³) – 5y² (2x⁴y) + 5y² (10x²)] – [(-2)x²y² (y³ + 7x²y + 5)]
= (5y⁵5x² – 10x⁴y³ + 50x²y²)
= 5x²y⁵ – 10x⁴y³ + 50x²y² – [(-2x²y⁵) – 14x⁴y³ – 10x²y²]
= 5x²y⁵ – 10x⁴y³ + 50x²)y² + 2x² y⁵ + 14x⁴)y³ + 10x²)y²
= (5 + 2)x²y⁵ + (-10 + 14)x⁴y³ + (+50 + 10)x²y²
= 7x²y⁵ + 4x⁴y³ + 60x²y²

Question 2.
Multiply (4x² + 9) and (3x – 2).
Solution:
(4x² + 9) (3x – 2) = 4x²(3x – 2) + 9(3x – 2)
= (4x²)(3x) – (4x²)(2) + 9(3x) – 9(2) = (4 × 3 × x × x²) – (4 × 2 × x²) + (9 × 3 × x) – 18
= 12x³ – 8x² + 27x – 18 (4x³ + 9) (3x – 2) = 12x³ – 8x² + 27x – 18

Question 3.
Find the simple interest on Rs. 5a²b² for 4ab years at 7b% per annum.
Solution:

Question 4.
The cost of a note book is Rs. 10ab. If Babu has Rs. (5a²b + 20ab² + 40ab). Then how many note hooks can he buy?
Solution:
For ₹ 10 ab the number of note books can buy = 1.

Question 5.
Factorise : (7y² – 19y – 6)
Solution:
7y² – 19y – 6 is of the form ax² + bx + c where a = 7; b = -19; c = – 6

The product a × c = 7 × -6 = -42
sum b = – 19

The middle term – 19y can be written as – 21y + 2y
7y² – 19y – 6 = 7y² – 21y + 2y – 6
= 7y(y – 3) + 2(y – 3) = (y – 3)(7y + 2)
7y² – 19y – 6 = (y – 3)(7y + 2)

Challenging Problems

Question 6.
A contractor uses the expression 4x² + 11x + 6 to determine the amount of wire to order when wiring a house. If the expression comes from multiplying the number of rooms times the number of outlets and he knows the number of rooms to be (x + 2), find the number of outlets in terms of ‘x’ [Hint: factorise 4x² + 11x + 6]
Solution:
Given Number of rooms = x + 2
Number of rooms × Number of outlets = amount of wire.

Now factorising 4x² + 11x + 6 which is of the form ax² + bx + c with a = 4 b = 11 c = 6.
The product a × c = 4 × 6 = 24
sum b = 11


The middle term 11x can be written as 8x + 3x
∴ 4x² + 11x + 6 = 4x² + 8x + 3x + 6 = 4x (x + 2) + 3 (x + 2)
4x² + 11x + 6 = (x + 2) (4x + 3)
Now from (1) the number of outlets

∴ Number of outlets = 4x + 3

Question 7.
A mason uses the expression x² + 6x + 8 to represent the area of the floor of a room. If the decides that the length of the room will be represented by (x + 4), what will the width of the room be in terms of x ?
Solution:
Given length of the room = x + 4
Area of the room = x² + 6x + 8
Length × breadth = x² + 6x + 8

Question 8.
Find the missing term: y² + (-) x + 56 = (y + 7)(y + -)
Solution:
We have (x + a) (x + b) = x² + (a + b)x + ab
56 = 7 × 8 .
∴ y² + (7 + 8)x + 56 = (y + 7)(y + 8)

Question 9.
Factorise: 16p⁴ – 1
Solution:
16p⁴ – 1 = 2⁴p⁴ – 1 = (2²)²(p²)² – 1²
Comparing with a² – b² = (a + b)(a – b) where a = 2²p² and b = 1
∴ (2²p²)² – 1² = (2²p² + 1) (2²p² – 1) = (4p² + 1) (4p² – 1)
∴ 16p⁴ – 1 = (4p² + 1)(4p² – 1)(4p² + 1)(2²p² – 1²)
= (4p² + 1) [(2p)²– 1²] = (4p² + 1) (2p + 1)(2p – 1)
[∵ using a² – b² = (a + b) (a – b)]
∴ 16p⁴ – 1 = (4psup>2 + 1)(2p + 1)(2p – 1)

Question 10.
Factorise : x⁶ – 64y³
Solution:
x⁶ – 64y³ = (x²)³ – 4³y³ = (x²)³ – (4y)³
This is of the form a³ – b³ with a = x², b = 4y
a³ – b³ = (a – b)(a² + ab + b²)
(x²)³ – (4y)³ = (x² – 4y) [(x²)² + (x²)(4y) + (4y)²]
= (x² – 4y) [x⁴ + 4x²y + 16y²]
∴ x⁶ – 64y³ = (x² – 4y) [x⁴ + 4x²y + 16y²]
