Question
Write the cube in expanded form: ${\left( {2x + 1} \right)^3}$
✓
Answer
${\left( {2x + 1} \right)^3}$
We know that ${\left( {a + b} \right)^3} = {a^3} + {b^3} + 3ab\left( {a + b} \right)$
$\therefore {\left( {2x + 1} \right)^3} = {\left( {2x} \right)^3} + {\left( 1 \right)^3} + 3 \times 2x \times 1\left( {2x + 1} \right)$
$ = 8{x^3} + 1 + 6x\left( {2x + 1} \right)\,$
$= 8{x^3} + 12{x^2} + 6x + 1.$
Therefore, the expansion of the expression ${\left( {2x + 1} \right)^3}$ is $8{x^3} + 12{x^2} + 6x + 1$

→(Street Plan): A city has two main roads which cross each other at the centre of the city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and East-West direction. All the other streets of the city run parallel to these roads and are 200 m apart. There are 5 streets in each direction. Using 1cm = 200 m, draw a model of the city on your notebook. Represent the roads/streets by single lines. There are many cross- streets in your model. A particular cross-street is made by two streets, one running in the North-South direction and another in the East-West direction. Cross street is referred to in this manner: If the 2nd street running in the North-South direction and 5th in the East-West direction meet at some crossing, then we will call this cross-street (2, 5). Using this convention, find: how many cross - streets can be referred to as (3, 4).
