Question 1522 Marks
Factorise:
$a^3+8 b^3+64 c^3-24 a b c$
Answer
$a^3+8 b^3+64 c^3-24 a b c$
$=a^3+(2 b)^3+(4 c)^3-3 \times a \times 2 b \times 4 c$
$=(a+2 b+4 c)\left[a^2+(2 b)^2+(4 c)^2-a \times 2 b-2 b \times 4 c-4 c \times a\right]$
$=(a+2 b+4 c)\left(a^2+4 b^2+16 c^2-2 a b-8 b c-4 c a\right)$

Question 1532 Marks
Factorise:
$32 x^4-500 x$
Answer
$32 x^4-500 x$
$=4 x\left(8 x^3-125\right)$
$=4 x\left[(2 x)^3-(5)^3\right]$
$=4 x\left[(2 x-5)\left[(2 x)^2+2 x \times 5+(5)^2\right] \text { Since } a^3-b^3=(a-b)\left(a^2+a \times b+b^2\right)\right.$
$=4 x(2 x-5)\left(4 x^2+10 x+25\right)$

Question 1552 Marks
Evaluate:
$(99)^2$
Answer
$(99)^2=(100-1)^2$
$=[(100)+(-1)]^2$
$=(100)^2+2 \times(100) \times(-1)+(-1)^2$
$=10000-200+1$$=9801$

Question 1562 Marks
Factorise:
$8\text{x}^3-\frac{1}{27\text{y}^3}$
Answer
We know that:
Since $a^3-b^3=(a-b)\left(a^2+a \times b+b^2\right)$
Let us rewrite
$8\text{x}^3-\frac{1}{27\text{y}^3}$
$=(2\text{x})^3-\Big(\frac{1}{3\text{y}}\Big)^3$
$=\Big(2\text{x}-\frac{1}{3\text{y}}\Big)\bigg[(2\text{x})^2+2\text{x}\times\frac{1}{3\text{y}}+\Big(\frac{1}{3\text{y}}\Big)^2\bigg]$
$=\Big(2\text{x}-\frac{1}{3\text{y}}\Big)\Big(4\text{x}^2+\frac{2\text{x}}{3\text{y}}+\frac{1}{9\text{y}^2}\Big)$
