Chapter 1 Identities and Factorization
1. (x – y)2 = x2 – 2xy + y2
The answer is C. 1A
(1)
2. L.H.S. = (2x – 1)(x – 3)
= 2x(x – 3) – 1(x – 3)
= 2x2 – 6x – x + 3
= 2x2 – 7x + 3
2x2 – 7x + 3 2x2 + Px + Q
By comparing the like terms on both sides, we have
P = –7 and Q = 3.
The answer is D. 1A
(1)
3. I. L.H.S. = (a + b)(a2 + ab + b2)
= a3 + a2b + ab2 + ba2 + ab2 + b3
= a3 + 2a2b + 2ab2 + b3
R.H.S. = a3 + b3
L.H.S. R.H.S.
(a + b)(a2 + ab + b2) = a3 + b3 is not an identity.
II. L.H.S. = (a – b)(a2 + ab + b2)
= a3 + a2b + ab2 – ba2 – ab2 – b3
= a3 – b3
R.H.S. = a3 – b3
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
(a – b)(a2 + ab + b2) a3 – b3
III. L.H.S. R.H.S.
∴ The answer is A. 1A

4. –(5x + 4y)2 = –[(5x)2 + 2(5x)(4y) + (4y)2]
= –(25x2 + 40xy + 16y2)
= –25x2 – 40xy – 16y2
The answer is B. 1A

6. 4m2 – mn + 4m3 = m(4m – n + 4m2)
The answer is B. 1A
(1)
7. I. 2x2 – 10x = 2x(x – 5)
II. x2 – 10x + 25 = (x – 5)2
III. x2 – 25 = (x + 5)(x – 5)
The answer is D. 1A
(1)
8. 4 – (x – 3y)2 = 22 – (x – 3y)2
= [2 + (x – 3y)][2 – (x – 3y)]
= (2 + x – 3y)(2 – x + 3y)
The answer is D. 1A
(1)
9. L.H.S. = (x + 2)2 + A(x + 2)
= x2 + 4x + 4 + Ax + 2A
= x2 + (4 + A)x + (4 + 2A) 1M
x2 + (4 + A)x + (4 + 2A) x2 + B
By comparing the like terms on both sides, we have
4 + A= 0
A = –4 1A
4 + 2A = B
4 + 2(–4) = B
