Question 15 Marks
Make two cubes of side a and of side b each. Make six parallelopipeds; three of them measuring a × a × b and the remaining three measuring b × b × a. Arrange all these solid figures properly and make a cube of side (a + b).
Answer
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
= a × a × a + 3 × a × a × b + 3 × a × b × b + b × b × b

Question 25 Marks
Simplify :

(5x – 7y)³ + (5x + 7y)³

Answer
(5x – 7y)³ + (5x + 7y)³
= [(5x)³ – 3(5x)²(7y) + 3(5x)(7y)² – (7y)³] + [(5x)³ + 3(5x)² (7y) + 3(5x) (7y)² +(7y)³]
… [(a – b)³ = a³ – 3a²b + 3ab² – b³, (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³]
= (125x³ – 525x²y + 735xy² – 343y³) + (125x³ + 525x²y + 735xy² + 343y³)
= 125x³ – 525x²y + 735xy² – 343y³ + 125x³ + 525x²y + 735xy² + 343y³
= 125x³ + 125x³ – 525x²y + 525x²y + 735xy² + 735xy² – 343y³ + 343y³
= 250x³ + 1470xy²

Question 35 Marks
Simplify :

(4a – 3)³ – (4a + 3)³

Answer
(4a – 3)³ – (4a + 3)³
= [(4a)³ – 3(4a)² (3) + 3(4a)(3)² – (3)³] – [(4a)³ + 3(4a)²(3) + 3(4a)(3)² + (3)³]
… [(a – b)³ = a³ – 3a²b + 3ab² – b³, (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³]
= (64a³ – 144a² + 108a – 27) – (64a³ + 144a² + 108a + 27)
= 64a³ – 144a² + 108a – 27 – 64a³ -144a² – 108a – 27
= 64a³ – 64a³ – 144a² – 144a² + 108a – 108a – 27 – 27
= -288a² – 54

Question 45 Marks
Simplify :

(3r – 2k)³ + (3r + 2k)³

Answer
(3r – 2k)³ + (3r + 2k)³
= [(3r)³ – 3(3r)²(2k) + 3(3r)(2k)² – (2k)³] + [(3r)³ + 3(3r)²(2k) + 3(3r)(2k)² + (2k)³]
… [(a – b)³ = a³ – 3a²b + 3ab² – b³, (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³]
= (27r³ – 54r²k + 36rk² – 8k³) + (27r³ + 54r²k + 36rk² + 8k³)
= 27r³ – 54r²k + 36rk² – 8k³ + 27r³ + 54r²k + 36rk² + 8k³
= 27r³ + 27r³ – 54r²k + 54r²k + 36rk² + 36rk² – 8k³ + 8k³
= 54r³ + 72rk²

Question 55 Marks
Simplify :

(2a + b)³ – (2a – b)³

Answer
(2a + b)³ – (2a – b)³
= [(2a)³ + 3(2a)²(b) + 3 (2a)(b)² + (b)³] – [(2a)³ – 3(2a)²(b) + 3 (2a)(b)² – (b)³]
… [(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³, (a – b)³ = a³ – 3a²b + 3ab² – b³]
= (8a³ + 12a²b + 6ab² + b³) – (8a³ – 12a²b + 6ab² – b³)
= 8a³ + 12a²b + 6ab² + b³ – 8a³ + 12a²b – 6ab² + b³
= 8a³ – 8a³ + 12a²b + 12a²b + 6ab² – 6ab² + b³ + b³
= 24a²b + 2b³

Question 65 Marks
Expand (x + a) (x + b) using formulae for areas of a square and a rectangle.
Image
(x + a) (x + b) = x² + ax + bx + ab
(x + a) (x + b) = x² + (a + b) x + ab
Answer

Image
∴ (x + a) (x + b) = x² + ax + bx + ab
∴ (x + a) (x + b) = x² + (a + b) x + ab
