Algebraic Identities:
∵ ∴
(1) (x + y)2 = x2 + 2xy + y2
(2) (x - y)2 = x2 - 2xy + y2
(3) x2 - y2 = (x + y) (x - y)

Exercise 2.5
Q1. Use suitable identities to find the following products:
(i) (x + 4) (x + 10)
(ii) (x + 8) (x – 10)
(iii) (3x + 4) (3x – 5)
(v) (3 – 2x) (3 + 2x)
Solution:
(i) (x + 4) (x + 10)
Using identity; (x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a + b)x + ab
(x + 4) (x + 10) = x2 + (4 + 10)x + (4)(10)
= x2 + 14x + 40
(ii) (x + 8) (x – 10)
Using identity; (x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a + b)x + ab
(x + 8) (x – 10) = x2 + [8 + (-10)]x + (8)(-10)
= x2 - 2x - 80
(iii) (3x + 4) (3x – 5)
Using identity; (x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a + b)x + ab
(3x + 4) (3x – 5) = (3x)2 + [4 + (-5)]3x + (4)(-5)
= 9x2 - 3x - 20
Using identity; (x + y) (x - y) = x2 - y2
(v) (3 – 2x) (3 + 2x)
Using identity; (x + y) (x - y) = x2 - y2
(3 – 2x) (3 + 2x) = (3)2 - (2x)2
= 9 - 4x2
Q2. Evaluate the following products without multiplying directly:
(i) 103 × 107
(ii) 95 × 96
(iii) 104 × 96
Solution:
(i) 103 × 107 = (100 + 3) (100 + 7)
Using identity; (x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a + b)x + ab
(100 + 3) (100 + 7) = (100)2 + (3 + 7)100 + 3×7
=10000 + 1000 + 21
= 11021
(ii) 95 × 96 = (90 + 5) (90 + 6)
Using identity; (x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a + b)x + ab
(90 + 5) (90 + 6) = (90)2 + (5 + 6)90 + 5×6
=8100 + 990 + 30
= 9120
(iii) 104 × 96 = (100 + 4) (100 - 4)
Using identity; (x + y) (x - y) = x2 - y2
(100)2 - (4)2
=10000 - 16
= 9984
3. Factorise the following using appropriate identities:
(i) 9x2 + 6xy + y2
(ii) 4y2 – 4y + 1
Solution:
(i) 9x2 + 6xy + y2
= (3x)2 + 2.3x.y + (y)2 [ ∵ x2 + 2xy + y2 = (x + y)2]
∴ = (3x + y)2
= (3x + y) (3x + y)
(ii) 4y2 - 4y + 1
= (2y)2 - 2.2y.1 + (1)2 [ ∵ x2 - 2xy + y2 = (x - y)2]
∴ = (2y - 1)2
= (2y - 1) (2y - 1)
[ ∵ x2 - y2 = (x + y) (x - y) ]

Identity (a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca
∴ (x + 2y + 4z)2 = (x)2 + (2y)2 + (4z)2 + 2(x)(2y) + 2(2y)(4z) + 2(4z)(x)
= x2 + 4y2 + 16z2 + 4xy + 16yz + 8zx
(ii) (2x – y + z)2
Here let as a = 2x, b = - y, c = z and putting the values of a, b and c in the
Identity (a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca
∴ (2x – y + z)2 = (2x)2 + (- y)2 + (z)2 + 2(2x)(- y) + 2(- y)(z) + 2(z)(2x)
= 4x2 + y2 + z2 - 4xy - 2yz + 4zx

Identity (a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca
∴ (–2x + 3y + 2z)2
= (– 2x)2 + (3y)2 + (2z)2 + 2(–2x)(3y) + 2(3y)(2z) + 2(2z)(–2x)
= 4x2 + 9y2 + 4z2 – 12xy + 12yz – 8zx

= (3a)2 + (– 7b)2 + (– c)2 + 2(3a)(– 7b) + 2(– 7b)(– c) + 2(– c)(3a)
= 9a2 + 49b2 + c2 – 42ab + 14bc – 6ac
(v) (–2x + 5y – 3z)2
Here let as a = - 2x, b = 5y, c = –3z and putting the values of a, b and c in the
Identity (a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca
∴ (–2x + 5y – 3z)2
= (– 2x)2 + (5y)2 + (– 3z)2 + 2(–2x)(5y) + 2(5y)(– 3z) + 2(– 3z)(–2x)
= 4x2 + 25y2 + 9z2 – 20xy – 30yz + 12zx

(i) 4x2 + 9y2 + 16z2 + 12xy – 24yz – 16xz
= (2x)2 + (3y)2 + (4z)2 + 2(2x)(3y) + 2(3y)(4z) + 2(4z)(2x)
[∵ a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca = (a + b + c)2 ]

= 1061208
(iii) (998)3
= (1000 - 2)3
[using identity (a - b)3 = a3 - 3a2b + 3ab2 - b3]
(1000 - 2)3 = (1000)3 - 3(1000)2(2)+ 3(1000)(2)2 - (2)3
= 1000000000 - 6000000 + 12000 - 8
