Question -

Use suitable identities to find the following products:

(i) (x+4)(x +10) 

(ii) (x+8)(x –10)     

(iii) (3x+4)(3x–5)

(iv) (y_2+3/2)(y_2-3/2)




Answer -

(i)(x+4)(x +10) 

Using the identity, (x+a)(x+b) = x 2+(a+b)x+ab

[Here, a = 4 and b = 10]

We get,

(x+4)(x+10) = x2+(4+10)x+(4×10)

= x2+14x+40


(ii)(x+8)(x –10)     

Using the identity, (x+a)(x+b) = x 2+(a+b)x+ab

[Here, a = 8 and b = −10]

We get,

(x+8)(x−10) = x2+(8+(−10))x+(8×(−10))

= x2+(8−10)x–80

= x2−2x−80


(iii) (3x+4)(3x–5)

Using the identity, (x+a)(x+b) = x 2+(a+b)x+ab

[Here, x = 3x, a = 4 and b= −5]

We get,

(3x+4)(3x−5) = (3x)2+[4+(−5)]3x+4×(−5)

= 9x2+3x(4–5)–20

= 9x2–3x–20


(iv) (y2+3/2)(y2-3/2)

Using the identity, (x+y)(x–y) = x2–y 2

[Here, x = y2andy = 3/2]

We get,

(y2+3/2)(y2–3/2) = (y2)2–(3/2)2

= y4–9/4
