Question 41 Mark
Evaluate using suitable identity: ${\left( {99} \right)^3}$
Answer
${\left( {99} \right)^3}$
${\left( {99} \right)^3}{\text{ can also be written as}}{\left( {100 - 1} \right)^3}.$
Using identity, ${\left( {x - y} \right)^3} = {x^3} - {y^3} - 3xy\left( {x - y} \right)$
${\left( {100 - 1} \right)^3} = {\left( {100} \right)^3} - {\left( 1 \right)^3} - 3 \times 100 \times 1\left( {100 - 1} \right)$

Question 51 Mark
Write ${\left( {\frac{3}{2}x + 1} \right)^3}$ in expanded form.
Answer
${\left( {\frac{3}{2}x + 1} \right)^3}$
We know that ${\left( {a + b} \right)^3} = {a^3} + {b^3} + 3ab\left( {a + b} \right)$
${\left( {\frac{3}{2}x + 1} \right)^3} = {\left( {\frac{3}{2}x} \right)^3} + {\left( 1 \right)^3} + 3 \times \frac{3}{2}x \times 1\left( {\frac{3}{2}x + 1} \right)$
$= \frac{{27}}{8}{x^3} + 1 + \frac{9}{2}x\left( {\frac{3}{2}x + 1} \right)$$ = \frac{{27}}{8}{x^3} + \frac{{27}}{4}{x^2} + \frac{9}{2}x + 1.$
Therefore, the expansion of the expression ${\left( {\frac{3}{2}x + 1} \right)^3}$ is $\frac{{27}}{8}{x^3} + \frac{{27}}{4}{x^2} + \frac{9}{2}x + 1$

Answer
$\left[\frac{1}{4} a-\frac{1}{2} b+1\right]^{2}$ = $\left[\frac{1}{4} a+\left(-\frac{1}{2} b\right)+1\right]^{2}$
(Using Identity $\left.(a+b+c)^2=a^2+b^2+c^2+2 a b+2 b c+2 c a\right)$
= $\left(\frac{1}{4} a\right)^{2}+\left(-\frac{1}{2} b\right)^{2}$ + $+(1)^{2}+2\left(\frac{1}{4} a\right)\left(-\frac{1}{2} b\right)+2\left(-\frac{1}{2} b\right)(1)+2(1)\left(\frac{1}{4} a\right)$

Question 171 Mark
Evaluate the product without multiplying directly: $103 \times 107$
Answer
$103 \times 107$
$103 \times 107$ can also be written as $(100+3)(100+7)$.
We can observe that we can apply the identity $(x+a)(x+b)=x^2+(a+b) x+a b$
$(100+3)(100+7)=(100)^2+(3+7)(100)+3 \times 7$

Question 201 Mark
Use suitable identity to find the product $\left( {{y^2} + \frac{3}{2}} \right)\left( {{y^2} - \frac{3}{2}} \right)$
Answer
$\left( {{y^2} + \frac{3}{2}} \right)\left( {{y^2} - \frac{3}{2}} \right)$
We know that $\left( {a + b} \right)\left( {a - b} \right) = {a^2} - {b^2}$
We need to apply the above identity to find the product $\left( {{y^2} + \frac{3}{2}} \right)\left( {{y^2} - \frac{3}{2}} \right)$
Here $a = {y^2}$ and $b = {3 \over 2}$
$\left( {{y^2} + \frac{3}{2}} \right)\left( {{y^2} - \frac{3}{2}} \right) = {\left( {{y^2}} \right)^2} - {\left( {\frac{3}{2}} \right)^2}$
$= {y^4} - \frac{9}{4}.$
Therefore, we conclude that the product $\left( {{y^2} + \frac{3}{2}} \right)\left( {{y^2} - \frac{3}{2}} \right)$is $\left( {{y^4} - \frac{9}{4}} \right)$

Question 251 Mark
Check whether $7 + 3x $ is a factor of $ 3{x^3} + 7x$.
Answer
We know that if the polynomial $7+3x$ is a factor of $ 3{x^3} + 7x$, then on dividing the polynomial $3{x^3} + 7x$ by $7+3x$, we must get the remainder as $0.$
We need to find the zero of the polynomial $7 + 3x$
$\begin{gathered} 7 + 3x = 0 \hfill \\ \Rightarrow {\text{ }}x = - \frac{7}{3} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $
While applying the remainder theorem, we need to put the zero of the polynomial $7+3x$ in the polynomial $ 3{x^3} + 7x$,to get
$\,\,p\left( x \right) = 3{x^3} + 7x$
$p\left( {{{ - 7} \over 3}} \right)$ $= 3{\left( { - \frac{7}{3}} \right)^3} + 7\left( { - \frac{7}{3}} \right)\,\, = 3\left( { - \frac{{343}}{{27}}} \right) - \frac{{49}}{3}$
$ = - \frac{{343}}{9} - \frac{{49}}{3}\,\, = \frac{{ - 343 - 147}}{9}$
$= \frac{{ - 490}}{9}.$
We conclude that on dividing the polynomial $3{x^3} + 7x $ by $7 + 3x$, we will get the remainder as $\frac{{ - 490}}{9}$ which is not $0.$
Therefore, we conclude that $7 + 3x$ is not a factor of $ 3{x^3} + 7x$

Question 281 Mark
Find the remainder when ${x^3} + 3{x^2} + 3x + 1$ is divided by $x + 1$
Answer
$x + 1$
We need to find the zero of the polynomial $x + 1$
$x + 1 = 0{\text{ }} \Rightarrow {\text{ }}x = - 1$
While applying the remainder theorem, we need to put the zero of the polynomial $x + 1$ in the polynomial
${x^3} + 3{x^2} + 3x + 1$, to get
$p\left( x \right) = {x^3} + 3{x^2} + 3x + 1$
$p\left( -1 \right) = {\left( { - 1} \right)^3} + 3{\left( { - 1} \right)^2} + 3\left( { - 1} \right) + 1=-1+3-3+1
= 0$
Therefore, we conclude that on dividing the polynomial ${x^3} + 3{x^2} + 3x + 1$ by $x + 1,$ we will get the remainder as $0.$

Question 551 Mark
Is the expression ${x^{10}} + {y^3} + {t^{50}}$, polynomial in one variable or not$?$ State the reason for your answer.
Answer
${x^{10}} + {y^3} + {t^{50}}$
We can observe that in the polynomial ${x^{10}} + {y^3} + {t^{50}}$, we have $x, y$ and $t$ as the variables and the powers of $x, y$ and $t$ in each term is a whole number.
Therefore, we conclude that ${x^{10}} + {y^3} + {t^{50}}$ is a polynomial but not a polynomial in one variable.

Is the expression $y + \frac{2}{y}$, polynomial in one variable or not$?$ State the reason for your answer.
Answer
$y + \frac{2}{y}$
We can observe that in the polynomial $y + \frac{2}{y}$ ,we have $y$ as the only variable and the powers of $y$ in each term are not a whole number.
Therefore, we conclude that $y + \frac{2}{y}$ is not a polynomial in one variable.

Is the expression $4{x^2} - 3x + 7{\text{ }}$, polynomial in one variable or not$?$ State the reason for your answer.
Answer
$4{x^2} - 3x + 7{\text{ }}$
We can observe that in the polynomial $4{x^2} - 3x + 7{\text{ }}$
we have $x$ as the only variable and the powers of $x$ in each term are a whole number.
Therefore, we conclude that $4{x^2} - 3x + 7{\text{ }}$ is a polynomial in one variable.

Question 601 Mark
Find a zero of the polynomial $p(x) = 2x + 1$
Answer
Finding a zero of $p(x),$ is the same as solving the equation $p(x) = 0$
Now, $2x + 1 = 0$ gives us $x=-\frac{1}{2}$
So, $-\frac{1}{2}$ is a zero of the polynomial $2x + 1 $

Question 611 Mark
Check whether $–2$ and $2$ are zeroes of the polynomial $x + 2$
Answer
We have, $p(x) = x + 2$
Then $p(2) = 2 + 2 = 4, p(–2) = –2 + 2 = 0$
Therefore, $–2$ is a zero of the polynomial $x + 2,$ but $2$ is not the zero of the polynomial.

Question 631 Mark
Find the value of $p(t)=4 t^4+5 t^3-t^2+6$ at $t=a$.
Answer

We have, $p(t)=4 t^4+5 t^3-t^2+6$
On putting $t=a$ in $p(t)$, we get,
$p(a)=4(a)^4+5(a)^3-(a)^2+6$
$=4 a^4+5 a^3-a^2+6$

Question 651 Mark
Expand $(4 a-2 b-3 c)^2$
Answer
Using Identity $(x+y+z)^2=x^2+y^2+z^2+2 x y+2 y z+2 z x$,
we have $(4 a-2 b-3 c)^2=[4 a+(-2 b)+(-3 c)]^2$
$=(4 a)^2+(-2 b)^2+(-3 c)^2+2(4 a)(-2 b)+2(-2 b)(-3 c)+2(-3 c)(4 a)$
$=16 a^2+4 b^2+9 c^2-16 a b+12 b c-24 a c$
This is the required expansion.

Question 661 Mark
Write $(3 a+4 b+5 c)^2$ in expanded form.
Answer
Comparing the given expression with $(x+y+z)^2$, we find that $x=3 a, y=4 b$ and $z=5 c$.
Therefore, using Identity $(x+y+z)^2=x^2+y^2+z^2+2 x y+2 y z+2 z x$
we have $(3 a+4 b+5 c)^2=(3 a)^2+(4 b)^2+(5 c)^2+2(3 a)(4 b)+2(4 b)(5 c)+2(5 c)(3 a)$
$=9 a^2+16 b^2+25 c^2+24 a b+40 b c+30 a c$

Question 671 Mark
Factorise: $\frac{25}{4} x^{2}-\frac{y^{2}}{9}.$
Answer
$a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$
$\frac{25 x^{2}}{4}-\frac{y^{2}}{9}=\left(\frac{5}{2} x\right)^{2}-\left(\frac{y}{3}\right)^{2}$
$=\left(\frac{5}{2} x+\frac{y}{3}\right)\left(\frac{5}{2} x-\frac{y}{3}\right)$

Question 731 Mark
Find the value of q(y) = 3y3 - 4y +$\sqrt{11}$at y = 2.
Answer
We have, q(y) = 3y3 - 4y + $\sqrt{11}$
On put y = 2 in q(y), we get
q(2) = 3(2)3 - 4(2)+$\sqrt{11}$
= 3 $\times$8 - 8 + $\sqrt{11}$
= 24 - 8 + $\sqrt{11}$
= 16 + $\sqrt{11}$

Question 741 Mark
Evaluate: (104)3 using a suitable identity
Answer
(104)3 = (100 + 4)3
Using identity (x + y)3 = x3 + 3xy(x + y) + y3
We get,
(100 + 4)3 = (100)3 + 3 $\times$ 100 $\times$ 4 (100 + 4) + 43
= 10,00 000 + 1,200 $\times$ 104 + 64
= 10,00,000 + 1,24,800 + 64
= 11,24,864
