Question 5
Find the value of x if 8x=352 -272

Answer

8x=352 -272

8x=(35-27)(35+27)
8x=8*62
x=62


Question 6
(a) If a -1/a =4, find the value of a2 + 1/a2
(b) If p +q =13 and pq =22, then p2 + q2

Answer

(a) a- 1/a=4
Squaring both the sides
a2 + 1/a2-2=16
a2 + 1/a2=18

(b) p2 + q2=(p+q)2 -2pq
=132-2*22=169-44=125

(iv)If a+b=9 and ab=14, the $a^2 + b^2$ is ______
(v) $82^2 -18^2$ is _____

Answer

(i) $(a -2b))(a+ 2b)(a^2 + 4b^2) = (a^2 -4b^2)(a^2 + 4b^2)=a^4 -16b^4)$
(ii) $2ab � 2b^2$ (iii) -7
(iv) 53 as $a^2 + b^2= (a+b)^2 -2 ab= 81 -28=53$
(v) $82^2 -18^2= (82+18)(82-18)=66 \times 100=6600$

(a) 110
(b) 100
(c) 625
(d) 125

Answer

(9) (a) as $a^2 + b^2= (a+b)^2 -2 ab$ or $2ab=(a+b)^2 - a^2 + b^2= 70$ or ab=35
(10) (b)
(11) c
$(x - \frac {1}{x})^2= (x + \frac {1}{x})^2 -4= 16-4=12$
or $ (x - \frac {1}{x})=\sqrt {12}$
(12)(c) as $(x^4 +1)(x^2 +1)(x+1)(x-1)= (x^4 +1)(x^2 +1)(x^2 -1)= (x^4 +1)(x^4 -1)=x^{8} -1$
(13) (d)
$x + \frac {1}{x}=5$
$(x + \frac {1}{x})^3= 125$
$(x^3 + \frac {1}{x^3} + 3(x + \frac {1}{x})=125$
