ANSWER KEY
1) (a) (2p2q2 – 3pq + 4) + (5 + 7pq – 3p2q2)
⟹ 2p2q2 – 3pq + 4 + 5 + 7pq – 3p2q2 = –p2q2 + 4pq + 9
(b) (l2+m2) + (m2+n2) + (n2+l2) + (2lm + 2mn + 2nl)
⟹ l2+m2 + m2+n2 + n2+l2 + 2lm + 2mn + 2nl
⟹ 2l2 + 2m2 + 2n2 + 2lm + 2mn + 2nl
2) We know that,
(a + b) (a – b) = a2 – b2
⟹ (2y + 5)(2y – 5) = (2y)2 – (5)2
⟹ = 4y2 – 25
3) (a) (x2 – 5)(x + 5) + 25 = x2(x + 5) – 5(x + 5) + 25
= x3 + 5x2 – 5x – 25 + 25
= x3 + 5x2 – 5x
(b) (t2 + 5)(t2 + 5) = t2(t2 + 5) + 5(t2 + 5)
= t4 + 5t2 + 5t2 + 25
= t4 + 10t2 + 25

(b) (0.9p – 0.5q)2 = (0.9p)2 − 2(0.9p)(0.5q) + (0.5q)2

= 0.81p2 – 0.9pq + 0.25q2
5) 3x(4x – 5) + 3
(a) When x = 3 ⟹ 3(3)[4(3) – 5] + 3
⟹ 9(12 – 5) + 3
⟹ 9(7) + 3 = 63 + 3 = 66
