1. Use suitable identities to find the following products:

  1. (x+4)(x+10)

Ans: Using the identity, \[\left( x+a \right)\left( x+b \right)={{x}^{2}}+\left( a+b \right)x+ab\]

Here we have, \[a=4,b=10\]

We get,
\[ \left( x+4 \right)\left( x+10 \right)={{x}^{2}}+\left( 4+10 \right)x+\left( 4 \right)\left( 10 \right) \]

\[ ={{x}^{2}}+14x+40 \]


  1. (x+8)(x-10)

Ans: Using the identity, \[\left( x+a \right)\left( x+b \right)={{x}^{2}}+\left( a+b \right)x+ab\]

Here we have, \[a=8,b=-10\]

We get,
$ \left( x+8 \right)\left( x+\left( -10 \right) \right)={{x}^{2}}+\left( 8+\left( -10 \right) \right)x+\left( 8 \right)\left( -10 \right) $

 $ \left( x+8 \right)\left( x-10 \right)={{x}^{2}}+\left( 8-10 \right)x-80 $

 $ ={{x}^{2}}-2x-80 $


  1. ( 3x+4)( 3x-5)

Ans: Using the identity, \[\left( x+a \right)\left( x+b \right)={{x}^{2}}+\left( a+b \right)x+ab\]

Here we have, \[a=4,b=-5\]

We get,
$ \left( 3x+4 \right)\left( 3x+\left( -5 \right) \right)={{\left( 3x \right)}^{2}}+\left( 4+\left( -5 \right) \right)3x+\left( 4 \right)\left( -5 \right) $

$ \left( 3x+4 \right)\left( 3x-5 \right)=9{{x}^{2}}+\left( 4-5 \right)3x-20 $

$ =9{{x}^{2}}-3x-20 $


  1. $\mathbf{(y^{2}+\frac{3}{2})(y^{2}-\frac{3}{2})}$

Ans: Using the identity, \[\left( x+y \right)\left( x-y \right)={{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}\]

Here we have, \[x={{y}^{2}},y=\dfrac{3}{2}\]

We get,
$ \left( {{y}^{2}}+\dfrac{3}{2} \right)\left( {{y}^{2}}-\dfrac{3}{2} \right)={{\left( {{y}^{2}} \right)}^{2}}-{{\left( \dfrac{3}{2} \right)}^{2}} $

$  ={{y}^{4}}-\dfrac{9}{4} $


  1. (3-2x)(3+2x)

Ans: Using the identity, \[\left( x+y \right)\left( x-y \right)={{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}\]

Here we have, \[x=3,y=2x\]

We get,
$ \left( 3+2x \right)\left( 3-2x \right)={{\left( 3 \right)}^{2}}-{{\left( 2x \right)}^{2}} $

$  =9-4{{x}^{2}} $ 


2. Evaluate the following products without multiplying directly:

  1. \[\mathbf{103\times 107}\]

Ans: \[103\times 107=\left( 100+3 \right)\times \left( 100+7 \right)\]

By using the identity, \[\left( x+a \right)\left( x+b \right)={{x}^{2}}+\left( a+b \right)x+ab\]

Here we have, \[x=100,~~a=3,~~b=7\]

We get,

$ \left( 100+3 \right)\left( 100+7 \right)={{\left( 100 \right)}^{2}}+\left( 3+7 \right)100+\left( 3 \right)\left( 7 \right) $

$ \left( 103 \right)\times \left( 107 \right)=10000+1000+21 $

$ =11021 $


  1. \[\mathbf{95\times 96}\]

Ans: \[95\times 96=\left( 100-5 \right)\times \left( 100-4 \right)\]

By using the identity, \[\left( x-a \right)\left( x-b \right)={{x}^{2}}-\left( a+b \right)x+ab\]

Here we have, \[x=100,~~a=5,~~b=4\]

We get,
$ \left( 100-5 \right)\left( 100-4 \right)={{\left( 100 \right)}^{2}}-\left( 5+4 \right)100+\left( 5 \right)\left( 4 \right) $

$ \left( 95 \right)\times \left( 96 \right)=10000-900+20 $

Here we have, \[x=100,~~y=4\]

We get,
$\left( 100+4 \right)\left( 100-4 \right)={{\left( 100 \right)}^{2}}-{{\left( 4 \right)}^{2}} $

$ \left( 104 \right)\times \left( 96 \right)=10000-16 $

$ =9984 $

By using the identity, \[{{\left( x-y \right)}^{3}}={{x}^{3}}-{{y}^{3}}-3xy\left( x-y \right)\]

Here, \[x=3p,~~y=\dfrac{1}{6}\]

$ 27{{p}^{3}}-\dfrac{1}{216}-\dfrac{9}{2}{{p}^{2}}+\dfrac{1}{4}p={{\left( 3p \right)}^{3}}-{{\left( \dfrac{1}{6} \right)}^{3}}-3{{\left( 3p \right)}^{2}}\left( \dfrac{1}{6} \right)+3\left( 3p \right){{\left( \dfrac{1}{6} \right)}^{2}} $

\[{{x}^{3}}+{{y}^{3}}={{\left( x+y \right)}^{3}}-3xy\left( x+y \right)\]

\[{{x}^{3}}+{{y}^{3}}=\left( x+y \right)\left[ {{\left( x+y \right)}^{2}}-3xy \right]\]Taking \[\left( x+y \right)\] common

$ {{x}^{3}}+{{y}^{3}}=\left( x+y \right)\left[ \left( {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+2xy \right)-3xy \right] $

$ \Rightarrow {{x}^{3}}+{{y}^{3}}=\left( x+y \right)\left( {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-xy \right) $

Hence, verified.


  1. \[\mathbf{{{x}^{3}}-{{y}^{3}}=\left( x-y \right)\left( {{x}^{2}}+xy+{{y}^{2}} \right)}\]

Ans: By using the identity, \[{{\left( x-y \right)}^{3}}={{x}^{3}}-{{y}^{3}}-3xy\left( x-y \right)\]

\[{{x}^{3}}-{{y}^{3}}={{\left( x-y \right)}^{3}}+3xy\left( x+y \right)\]

\[{{x}^{3}}-{{y}^{3}}=\left( x-y \right)\left[ {{\left( x-y \right)}^{2}}+3xy \right]\]

Taking \[\left( x-y \right)\] common

$ {{x}^{3}}-{{y}^{3}}=\left( x-y \right)\left[ \left( {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-2xy \right)+3xy \right] $

$ \Rightarrow {{x}^{3}}-{{y}^{3}}=\left( x-y \right)\left( {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+xy \right) $

Hence, verified.

  1. \[\mathbf{27{{y}^{3}}+125{{z}^{3}}}\]

Ans: Here \[27{{y}^{3}}+125{{z}^{3}}\] can be written as \[{{\left( 3y \right)}^{3}}+{{\left( 5z \right)}^{3}}\]

\[27{{y}^{3}}+125{{z}^{3}}={{\left( 3y \right)}^{3}}+{{\left( 5z \right)}^{3}}\]

As we know that, \[{{x}^{3}}+{{y}^{3}}=\left( x+y \right)\left( {{x}^{2}}-xy+{{y}^{2}} \right)\]

\[27{{y}^{3}}+125{{z}^{3}}={{\left( 3y \right)}^{3}}+{{\left( 5z \right)}^{3}}\]

$ 27{{y}^{3}}+125{{z}^{3}}=\left( 3y+5z \right)\left[ {{\left( 3y \right)}^{2}}-\left( 3y \right)\left( 5z \right)+{{\left( 5z \right)}^{2}} \right] $

$ =\left( 3y+5z \right)\left( 9{{y}^{2}}-15yz+25{{z}^{2}} \right) $

Ans: Here \[64{{m}^{3}}-343{{n}^{3}}\] can be written as \[{{\left( 4y \right)}^{3}}-{{\left( 7z \right)}^{3}}\]

\[64{{m}^{3}}-343{{n}^{3}}={{\left( 4y \right)}^{3}}-{{\left( 7z \right)}^{3}}\]

As we know that, \[{{x}^{3}}-{{y}^{3}}=\left( x-y \right)\left( {{x}^{2}}+xy+{{y}^{2}} \right)\]

\[64{{m}^{3}}-343{{n}^{3}}={{\left( 4y \right)}^{3}}-{{\left( 7z \right)}^{3}}\]

$ 64{{m}^{3}}-343{{n}^{3}}=\left( 4m-7n \right)\left[ {{\left( 4m \right)}^{2}}+\left( 4m \right)\left( 7n \right)+{{\left( 7n \right)}^{2}} \right] $ 

$ =\left( 4m-7n \right)\left( 16{{m}^{2}}+28mn+49{{n}^{2}} \right) $

\[27{{x}^{3}}+{{y}^{3}}+{{z}^{3}}-9xyz={{\left( 3x \right)}^{3}}+{{\left( y \right)}^{3}}+{{\left( z \right)}^{3}}-3\left( 3x \right)\left( y \right)\left( z \right)\] 

We know that, \[{{x}^{3}}+{{y}^{3}}+{{z}^{3}}-3xyz=\left( x+y+z \right)\left( {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}-xy-yz-zx \right)\]

$ 27{{x}^{3}}+{{y}^{3}}+{{z}^{3}}-9xyz={{\left( 3x \right)}^{3}}+{{\left( y \right)}^{3}}+{{\left( z \right)}^{3}}-3\left( 3x \right)\left( y \right)\left( z \right) $ 

$ =\left( 3x+y+z \right)\left[ {{\left( 3x \right)}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}-3xy-yz-3xz \right] $

$ =\left( 3x+y+z \right)\left( 9{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}-3xy-yz-3xz \right) $


12. Verify that \[\mathbf{{{x}^{3}}+{{y}^{3}}+{{z}^{3}}-3xyz=\dfrac{1}{2}\left( x+y+z \right)\left[ {{\left( x-y \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( y-z \right)}^{2}}+\left( z-{{x}^{2}} \right) \right]}\]

Ans: As we know that, \[{{x}^{3}}+{{y}^{3}}+{{z}^{3}}-3xyz=\left( x+y+z \right)\left( {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}-xy-yz-zx \right)\], 

Dividing the equation by \[\dfrac{1}{2}\] and multiply by \[2\]

$ \Rightarrow {{x}^{3}}+{{y}^{3}}+{{z}^{3}}-3xyz=\dfrac{1}{2}\left( x+y+z \right)\left[ 2\left( {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}-xy-yz-zx \right) \right] $ 

$  =\dfrac{1}{2}\left( x+y+z \right)\left( 2{{x}^{2}}+2{{y}^{2}}+2{{z}^{2}}-2xy-2yz-2zx \right) $

$  =\dfrac{1}{2}\left( x+y+z \right)\left[ \left( {{x}^{2}}+{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}-2xy-2yz-2zx \right) \right] $

$ =\dfrac{1}{2}\left( x+y+z \right)\left[ \left( {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-2xy \right)+\left( {{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}-2yz \right)+\left( {{x}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}-2zx \right) \right] $

$ =\dfrac{1}{2}\left( x+y+z \right)\left[ {{\left( x-y \right)}^{2}}+\left( y-z \right){}^{2}+{{\left( z-x \right)}^{2}} \right] $


13. If \[\mathbf{x+y+z=0}\], show that \[\mathbf{{{x}^{3}}+{{y}^{3}}+{{z}^{3}}=3xyz}\]

Ans: As we know that \[{{x}^{3}}+{{y}^{3}}+{{z}^{3}}-3xyz=\left( x+y+z \right)\left( {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}-xy-yz-zx \right)\]

Given, \[x+y+z=0\], then

$ {{x}^{3}}+{{y}^{3}}+{{z}^{3}}-3xyz=\left( x+y+z \right)\left( {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}-xy-yz-zx \right) $

$ {{x}^{3}}+{{y}^{3}}+{{z}^{3}}-3xyz=\left( 0 \right)\left( {{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}-xy-yz-zx \right) $ 

$  {{x}^{3}}+{{y}^{3}}+{{z}^{3}}-3xyz=0 $

$ {{x}^{3}}+{{y}^{3}}+{{z}^{3}}=3xyz $

Hence, proved.


14. Without actually calculating the cubes, find the value of each of the following:

  1. \[\mathbf{{{\left( -12 \right)}^{3}}+{{\left( 7 \right)}^{3}}+{{\left( 5 \right)}^{3}}}\]

Ans: Let $ {{\left( -12 \right)}^{3}}+{{\left( 7 \right)}^{3}}+{{\left( 5 \right)}^{3}}$

$ a=-12,~~~b=7,~~~c=5 $

We know that if, \[x+y+z=0\] then \[x{}^{3}+{{y}^{3}}+z{}^{3}=3xyz\]

Here, \[-12+7+5=0\]

$ \left( -12 \right){}^{3}+{{\left( 7 \right)}^{3}}+\left( 5 \right){}^{3}=3xyz $

$  =3\left( -12 \right)\left( 7 \right)\left( 5 \right) $

$  =-1260 $


  1. \[\mathbf{{{\left( 28 \right)}^{3}}+{{\left( -15 \right)}^{3}}+{{\left( -13 \right)}^{3}}}\]

Ans: Let $ {{\left( 28 \right)}^{3}}+{{\left( -15 \right)}^{3}}+{{\left( -13 \right)}^{3}} $

$a=28,~~~b=-15,~~~c=-13 $

We know that if, \[x+y+z=0\] then \[x{}^{3}+{{y}^{3}}+z{}^{3}=3xyz\]

Here, \[28-15-13=0\]

$ \left( 28 \right){}^{3}+{{\left( -15 \right)}^{3}}+\left( -13 \right){}^{3}=3xyz $

$ =3\left( 28 \right)\left( -15 \right)\left( -13 \right) $
