1. Use suitable identities to find the following products:
(i) (x+4)(x +10)
Solution:
Using the identity, \((x+a)(x+b) = x^ 2+(a+b)x+ab\)[Here, a = 4 and b = 10]
\((x+4)(x+10) = x^2+(4+10)x+(4×10)\)
\(= x^2+14x+40\)
(ii) (x+8)(x –10)
Solution:
Using the identity, \((x+a)(x+b) = x ^2+(a+b)x+ab\)[Here, a = 8 and b = −10]
\((x+8)(x−10) = x^2+(8+(−10))x+(8×(−10))\)
\(= x^2+(8−10)x–80\)
\(= x2−2x−80\)
(iii) (3x+4)(3x–5)
Solution:
Using the identity, \((x+a)(x+b) = x^ 2+(a+b)x+ab\)[Here, x = 3x, a = 4 and b = −5]
\((3x+4)(3x−5) = (3x)^2+[4+(−5)]3x+4×(−5)\)
\(= 9x^2+3x(4–5)–20\)
\(= 9x^2–3x–20\)
(iv) \((y^2+{3\over2})(y^2-{3\over2})\)
Solution:
Using the identity, \((x+y)(x–y) = x^2–y ^2\)[Here, \(x = y^2\) and \(y = {3\over2}\)]
\((y2+3/2)(y2–3/2) = (y^2)^2–(3/2)^2\)
= y4–9/4
2. Evaluate the following products without multiplying directly:
(i) 103×107
Solution:
103×107= (100+3)×(100+7)
Using identity, [(x+a)(x+b) = x2+(a+b)x+ab
Here, x = 100
a = 3
b = 7
We get, 103×107 = (100+3)×(100+7)

Using identity, [(x-a)(x-b) = x2-(a+b)x+ab
Here, x = 100
a = -5
b = -4
We get, 95×96 = (100-5)×(100-4)
= (100)2+100(-5+(-4))+(-5×-4)
= 10000-900+20
= 9120
(iii) 104×96
Solution:
104×96 = (100+4)×(100–4)
Using identity, [(a+b)(a-b)= a2-b2]
Here, a = 100
b = 4

4y2−4y+1 = (2y)2–(2×2y×1)+1
Using identity, x2 – 2xy + y2 = (x – y)2
Here, x = 2y
y = 1
4y2−4y+1 = (2y)2–(2×2y×1)+12

15. Give possible expressions for the length and breadth of each of the following rectangles, in which their areas are given:
(i) Area : \(25a^2–35a+12\)
(ii) Area : \(35y^2+13y–12\)
Solution:
(i) Area : \(25a^2–35a+12\)
Using the splitting the middle term method,
We have to find a number whose sum = -35 and product =25×12=300
We get -15 and -20 as the numbers [-15+-20=-35 and -15×-20=300]
\(25a^2–35a+12 = 25a^2–15a−20a+12\)
\(= 5a(5a–3)–4(5a–3)\)
\(= (5a–4)(5a–3)\)
Possible expression for length = 5a–4
Possible expression for breadth = 5a –3
(ii) Area : \(35y^2+13y–12\)
Using the splitting the middle term method,
We have to find a number whose sum = 13 and product = 35×-12 = 420
We get -15 and 28 as the numbers [-15+28 = 13 and -15×28=420]
\(35y^2+13y–12 = 35y^2–15y+28y–12\)
\(= 5y(7y–3)+4(7y–3)\)
\(= (5y+4)(7y–3)\)
Possible expression for length = (5y+4)
Possible expression for breadth = (7y–3)
16. What are the possible expressions for the dimensions of the cuboids whose volumes are given below?
(i) Volume : \(3x^2–12x\)
(ii) Volume : \(12ky^2+8ky–20k\)
Solution:
(i) Volume : \(3x^2–12x\)
\(3x^2–12x\) can be written as 3x(x–4) by taking 3x out of both the terms.
Possible expression for length = 3
Possible expression for breadth = x
Possible expression for height = (x–4)
(ii) Volume: \(12ky^2+8ky–20k\)
\(12ky^2+8ky–20k\) can be written as \(4k(3y^2+2y–5)\) by taking 4k out of both the terms.
\(12ky^2+8ky–20k = 4k(3y^2+2y–5)\) [Here, \(3y^2+2y–5\) can be written as \(3y^2+5y–3y–5\) using splitting the middle term method.]
\(= 4k(3y^2+5y–3y–5)\)
\(= 4k[y(3y+5)–1(3y+5)]\)
\(= 4k(3y+5)(y–1)\)
Possible expression for length = 4k
Possible expression for breadth = (3y +5)
Possible expression for height = (y -1)
