ML Aggarwal Expansions Chapter Test Class 9 ICSE Maths Solutions

Question 1. Find the expansions of the following :

(i) (2x + 3y + 5) (2x + 3y – 5)
(ii) (6 – 4a -7b)2
(iii) (7 – 3xy)3
(iv) (x + y + 2)3

Answer :

(i) (2x + 3y + 5) (2x + 3y – 5)

Let us simplify the expression, we get

(2x + 3y + 5) (2x + 3y – 5) = [(2x + 3y) + 5] [(2x – 3y) – 5]

By using the formula, (a)2 – (b)2 = [(a + b) (a – b)]
= (2x + 3y)2 – (5)2

= (2x)2 + (3y) 2 + 2 × 2x × 3y – 5 × 5

= 4x2 + 9y2 + 12xy – 25

(ii) (6 – 4a – 7 b)2

Let us simplify the expression, we get

(6 – 4a – 7 b)2 = [ 6 + (- 4a) + (-7b)]2

= (6)2 + (- 4a)2 + (- 7b)2 + 2 (6) (- 4a) + 2 (- 4a) (-7b) + 2 (-7b) (6)

= 36 + 16a2 + 49b2 – 48a + 56ab – 84b

(iii) (7 – 3xy)3

Let us simplify the expression

By using the formula, we get

(7 – 3xy)= (7)3 – (3xy)3 – 3 (7) (3xy) (7 – 3xy)

= 343 – 27x3y3 – 63xy (7 – 3xy)

= 343 – 27x3y3 – 441xy + 189x2y2

(iv) (x + y + 2)3

Let us simplify the expression

By using the formula, we get

(x + y + 2 )3 = [(x + y) + 2]3

= (x + y)3 + (2)3 + 3 (x + y) (2) (x + y + 2)

= x3 + y3 + 3x2y + 3xy2 + 8 + 6 (x + y) [(x + y) + 2]
= x3 + y3 + 3x2y + 3xy2 + 8 + 6 (x + y)2 +12(x + y)

= x3 + y3 + 3x2y + 3xy2 + 8 + 6 (x2 + y2 + 2xy) + 12x + 12y = x3 + y3 + 3x2y + 3xy2 + 8 + 6x2 + 6y2 + 12xy + 12x + 12y

= x3 + y3 + 3x2y + 3xy2 + 8 + 6x2 + 6y2 + 12x + 12y + 12xy

Question 2. Simplify: (x – 2) (x + 2) (x2 + 4) (x4 + 16)

Answer :

Let us simplify the expression, we get

(x – 2) (x + 2) (x4 + 4) (x4 +16) = (x2 – 4) (x4 + 4) (x4 + 16)

= [(x2)2 – (4)2] (x4 + 16)

= (x4 – 16) (x4 + 16)

= (x4)2 – (16)2

= x8 – 256

Question 3. Evaluate 1002 × 998 by using a special product.
Answer :

Let us simplify the expression, we get

1002 × 998 = (1000 + 2) (1000 – 2)

= (1000)2 – (2)2

= 1000000 – 4

= 999996

Question 4. If a + 2b + 3c = 0, Prove that a3 + 8b3 + 27c3 = 18 abc
Answer :

Given:

a + 2b + 3c = 0, a + 2b = – 3c

Let us cube on both the sides, we get

(a + 2b)3 = (-3c)3

a3 + (2b)3 + 3(a) (2b) (a + 2b) = -27c3

a3 + 8b3 + 6ab (– 3c) = – 27c3

a3 + 8b3 – 18abc = -27c3

a3 + 8b3 + 27c3 = 18abc

Hence proved.

Question 5. If 2x = 3y – 5, then find the value of 8x3 – 27y3 + 90xy + 125.
Answer :

Given:

2x = 3y – 5

2x – 3y = -5

Now, let us cube on both sides, we get

(2x – 3y)3 = (-5)3

(2x)3 – (3y)3 – 3 × 2x × 3y (2x – 3y) = -125

8x3 – 27y3 – 18xy (2x – 3y) = -125

Now, substitute the value of 2x – 3y = -5

8x3 – 27y3 – 18xy (-5) = -125

8x3 – 27y3 + 90xy = -125

8x3 – 27y3 + 90xy + 125 = 0

Question 6. If a2 – 1/a2 = 5, evaluate a4 + 1/a4

Answer :

It is given that,

a2 – 1/a2 = 5

So,

By using the formula, (a + b)2

[a2 – 1/a2]2 = a4 + 1/a4 – 2

[a2 – 1/a2]2 + 2 = a4 + 1/a4

Substitute the value of a2 – 1/a2 = 5, we get

52 + 2 = a4 + 1/a4

a4 + 1/a4 = 25 + 2

= 27

Question 7. If a + 1/a = p and a – 1/a = q, Find the relation between p and q.

Answer :

It is given that,

a + 1/a = p and a – 1/a = q

so,

(a + 1/a)2 – (a – 1/a)2 = 4(a) (1/a)

= 4

By substituting the values, we get

p2 – q2 = 4

Hence the relation between p and q is that p2 – q2 = 4.

Question 8. If (a2 + 1)/a = 4, find the value of 2a3 + 2/a3

Answer :

It is given that,

(a2 + 1)/a = 4

a2/a + 1/a = 4

a + 1/a = 4

So by multiplying the expression by 2a, we get

2a3 + 2/a3 = 2[a3 + 1/a3]

= 2 [(a + 1/a)3 – 3 (a) (1/a) (a + 1/a)]

= 2 [(4)3 – 3(4)]

= 2 [64 – 12]

= 2 (52)

= 104

Question 9. If x = 1/(4 – x), find the value of

(i) x + 1/x

(ii) x3 + 1/x3

(iii) x6 + 1/x6

Answer 9

It is given that,

x = 1/(4 – x)

So,

(i) x(4 – x) = 1

4x – x2 = 1

Now let us divide both sides by x, we get

4 – x = 1/x

4 = 1/x + x

1/x + x = 4

1/x + x = 4

(ii) x3 + 1/x3 = (x + 1/x)2 – 3(x + 1/x)

By substituting the values, we get

= (4)3 – 3(4)

= 64 – 12

= 52

(iii) x6 + 1/x6 = (x3 + 1/x3)2 – 2

= (52)2 – 2

= 2704 – 2

= 2702

Question 10. If x – 1/x = 3 + 2√2, find the value of ¼ (x3 – 1/x3)

Answer :

It is given that,

x – 1/x = 3 + 2√2

So,

x3 – 1/x3 = (x – 1/x)3 + 3(x – 1/x)

= (3 + 2√2)3 + 3(3 + 2√2)

By using the formula, (a+b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab (a + b)

= (3)3 + (2√2)3 + 3 (3) (2√2) (3 + 2√2) + 3(3 + 2√2)

= 27 + 16√2 + 54√2 + 72 + 9 + 6√2

= 108 + 76√2

Hence,

¼ (x3 – 1/x3) = ¼ (108 + 76√2)

= 27 + 19√2

Question 11. If x + 1/x = 3 1/3, find the value of x3 – 1/x3

Answer :

It is given that,

x + 1/x = 3 1/3

we know that,

(x – 1/x)2 = x2 + 1/x2 – 2

= x2 + 1/x2 + 2 – 4

= (x + 1/x)2 – 4

But x + 1/x = 3 1/3 = 10/3

So,

(x – 1/x)2 = (10/3)2 – 4

= 100/9 – 4

= (100 – 36)/9

= 64/9

x – 1/x = √(64/9)

= 8/3

Now,

x3 – 1/x3 = (x – 1/x)3 + 3 (x) (1/x) (x – 1/x)

= (8/3)3 + 3 (8/3)

= ((512/27) + 8)

= 728/27

= 26 26/27

Question 12. If x = 2 – √3, then find the value of x3 – 1/x3

Answer :

It is given that,

x = 2 – √3

so,

1/x = 1/(2 – √3)

By rationalizing the denominator, we get

= [1(2 + √3)] / [(2 – √3) (2 + √3)]

= [(2 + √3)] / [(22) – (√3)2]

= [(2 + √3)] / [4 – 3]

= 2 + √3

Now,

x – 1/x = 2 – √3 – 2 – √3

= – 2√3

Let us cube on both sides, we get

(x – 1/x)3 = (-2√3)3

x3 – 1/x3 – 3 (x) (1/x) (x – 1/x) = 24√3

x3 – 1/x3 – 3(-2√3) = -24√3

x3 – 1/x3 + 6√3 = -24√3

x3 – 1/x3 = -24√3 – 6√3

= -30√3

Hence,

x3 – 1/x3 = -30√3

Question 13. If the sum of two numbers is 11 and sum of their cubes is 737, find the sum of their squares.
Answer :

Let us consider x and y be two numbers

Then,

x + y = 11

x3 + y3 = 735 and x2 + y2 =?

Now,

x + y = 11

Let us cube on both the sides,

(x + y)3 = (11)3

x3 + y3 + 3xy (x + y) = 1331

737 + 3x × 11 = 1331

33xy = 1331 – 737

= 594

xy = 594/33

xy = 8

We know that, x + y = 11

By squaring on both sides, we get

(x + y)2 = (11)2

x2 + y2 + 2xy = 121 2 x2 + y2 + 2 × 18 = 121

x2 + y2 + 36 = 121

x2 + y2 = 121 – 36

= 85

Hence sum of the squares = 85

Question 14. If a – b = 7 and a3 – b3 = 133, find:
(i) ab
(ii) a2 + b2
Answer :

It is given that,

a – b = 7

let us cube on both sides, we get

(i) (a – b)3 = (7)3

a3 + b3 – 3ab (a – b) = 343

133 – 3ab × 7 = 343

133 – 21ab = 343

– 21ab = 343 – 133 21ab

= 210

ab = -210/21

ab = -10

(ii) a2 + b2

Again a – b = 7

Let us square on both sides, we get

(a – b)2 = (7)2

a2 + b2 – 2ab = 49

a2 + b2 – 2 × (- 10) = 49

a2 + b2 + 20 = 49

a2 + b2 = 49 – 20

= 29

Hence, a2 + b2 = 29

Question 15. Find the coefficient of x2 expansion of (x2 + x + 1)2 + (x2 – x + 1)2
Answer :

Given:

The expression, (x2 + x + 1)2 + (x2 – x + 1)2

(x2 + x + 1)2 + (x2 – x + 1)2 = [((x2 + 1) + x)2 + [(x2 + 1) – x)2]
= (x2 + 1)2 + x2 + 2 (x2 + 1) (x) + (x2 + 1)2 + x2 – 2 (x2 + 1) (x)

= (x2)2 + (1)2 + 2 × x2 × 1 + x2 + (x2)2 + 1 + 2 × x2 + 1 + x2

= x4 + 1 + 2x2 + x2 + x4 + 1 + 2x2 + x2

= 2x4 + 6x2 + 2

∴ Co-efficient of x2 is 6.
