Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(x + 2y)2 + (x - 2y)2

And using the formula,

[∵(x + y)2 = x2 + 2xy + y2]

and,

[∵(x - y)2 = x2 - 2xy + y2]

= [x2 + 2 $\times$ x $\times$ 2y + (2y)2] + [x2 - 2 $\times$ x $\times$ 2y + (2y)2]

= [x2 + 4xy + 4y2] + [x2 - 4xy + 4y2]

= x2 + 4xy + 4y2 + x2 - 4xy + 4y2

= (x2 + x2) + (4xy - 4xy) + (4y2 + 4y2)

= 2x2 + 8y2

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.

= [(3x)2 - 2 $\times$ (3x) $\times$ (4y) + (4y)2] - [(3x)2 + 2 $\times$ (3x) $\times$ (4y) + (4y)2]

= [9x2 - 24xy + 16y2] - [9x2 + 24xy + 16y2]

= 9x2 - 24xy + 16y2 - 9x2 - 24xy - 16y2

= (9x2 - 9x2) + (- 24xy - 24xy) + (16y2 - 16y2)

Using the formula,

[∵ (x + y)2 = x2 + 2xy + y2]

(1st term + 2nd term)3 = (1st term)3 + 3(1st term)2 .(2nd term) + 3(2nd term)2 .(1st term) + (2nd term)3

⇒ (3x + 2y)3 = (3x)3 + (2y)3 + 3 $\times$ 3x $\times$ 2y(3x + 2y)

⇒ (3x + 2y)3 = 27x3 + 8y3 + 18xy(3x + 2y)

Putting the value (3x + 2y) = 9 and xy = 3, we get

⇒ (9)3 = 27x3 + 8y3 + 18 $\times$ 3 $\times$ 9

⇒ 729 = 27x3 + 8y3 + 486

⇒ 27x3 + 8y3 = 729 - 486

⇒ 27x3 + 8y3 = 243

Hence, the value of 27x3 + 8y3 is 243.

If 5x - 4y = 7 and xy = 8, find: 125x3 - 64y3

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Using the formula,

[∵ (x - y)3 = x3 - y3 - 3xy(x - y)]

So,

⇒ (5x - 4y)3 = (5x)3 - (4y)3 - 3 $\times$ 5x $\times$ 4y(5x - 4y)

⇒ (5x - 4y)3 = 125x3 - 64y3 - 60xy(5x - 4y)

Putting the value (5x - 4y) = 7 and xy = 8, we get

⇒ (7)3 = 125x3 - 64y3 - 60 $\times$ 8 $\times$ 7

⇒ 343 = 125x3 - 64y3 - 3,360

⇒ 125x3 - 64y3 = 343 + 3,360

⇒ 125x3 - 64y3 = 3,703

Hence, the value of 125x3 - 64y3 is 3,703.

The difference between two numbers is 5 and their product is 14. Find the difference between their cubes.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Let the two numbers be x and y.

So,

x - y = 5

And,

xy = 14

Using the formula,

[∵ (x - y)3 = x3 - y3 - 3xy(x - y)]

So,

⇒ (x - y)3 = x3 - y3 - 3xy(x - y)

Putting the value (x - y) = 5 and xy = 14, we get

⇒ (5)3 = x3 - y3 - 3 $\times$ 14 $\times$ 5

⇒ 125 = x3 - y3 - 210

⇒ x3 - y3 = 125 + 210

⇒ x3 - y3 = 335

Hence, the difference between their cubes is 335.
