15. The number x is 2 more than the number y. If the sum of the squares of x and
y is 34; find the product of x and y.
Solution: Given x is 2 more than y, so x = y + 2
Sum of squares of x and y is 34, so x2 + y2 = 34.
Replace x = y + 2 in the above equation and solve for y.
We get (y + 2)2 + y2 = 34
2y2 + 4y - 30 = 0
y2 + 2y - 15 = 0
(y + 5)(y - 3) = 0
So y = -5 or 3
For y = -5, x =-3
For y = 3, x = 5
Product of x and y is 15 in both cases.
16. The difference between two positive numbers is 5 and the sum of their
squares is 73. Find the product of these numbers.
Solution: Let the two positive numbers be a and b.
Given difference between them is 5 and sum of squares is 73.
So, a - b = 5, a2 + b2 = 73
Squaring on both sides gives
(a - b)2 = 52
a2 + b2 - 2ab = 25
but a2 + b2 = 73
so 2ab = 73 - 25 = 48
ab = 24
So, the product of numbers is 24.

Solution: Property is if a + b + c = 0 then a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc
(i) a = 13, b = -8 and c = -5

ร 8x3 - 27y3 - 3 (2x) (3y) (2x - 3y) = 1000 ร 8x3 - 27 y3 -18xy (2x - 3y) = 1000
ร 8x3 - 27 y3 - 18 (16) (10) = 1000
ร 8x3 - 27 y3 - 2880 = 1000
ร 8x3 - 27 y3 = 1000 + 2880

(3x + 5y + 2z) (3x - 5y + 2z)
= {(3x + 2z) + (5y)} {(3x + 2z) - (5y)}
= (3x + 2z)2 - (5y)2
{since (a + b) (a - b) = a2 - b2}
= 9x2 + 4z2 + 2 ร 3x ร 2z - 25y2
= 9x2 + 4z2 + 12xz - 25y2
= 9x2 + 4z2 - 25y2 + 12xz
(ii)
(3x - 5y - 2z) (3x - 5y + 2z)
= {(3x - 5y) - (2z)} {(3x - 5y) + (2z)}
= (3x - 5y)2 - (2z)2{since(a + b) (a - b) = a2 - b2}
= 9x2 + 25y2 - 2 ร 3x ร 5y - 4z2

14. The sum of two numbers is 9 and their product is 20. Find the sum of their:
(i) Squares
(ii) Cubes
Solution: Given sum of two numbers is 9 and their product is 20.
Let the numbers be a and b.
a + b = 9
ab = 20
(i) Squaring on both sides gives
(a+b)2 = 92
a2 + b2 + 2ab = 81
a2 + b2 + 40 = 81
So sum of squares is 81 - 40 = 41
(ii) Cubing on both sides gives
(a + b)3 = 93
a3 + b3 + 3ab(a + b) = 729
a3 + b3 + 60(9) = 729
a3 + b3 = 729 - 540 = 189

15. Two positive numbers x and y are such that x>y. if the difference of these
numbers is 5 and their product is 24, find:
(i) Sum of these numbers.
(ii) Difference of their cubes.
(iii) Sum of their cubes.
Solution: (i) Given x - y = 5 and xy = 24 (x>y)
(x + y)2 = (x - y)2 + 4xy = 25 + 96 = 121
So, x + y = 11; sum of these numbers is 11.
(ii) Difference of their Cubes
(x - y)3 = 53
x3 - y3 - 3xy(x - y) = 125
x3 - y3 - 72(5) = 125
x3 - y3= 125 + 360 = 485
So, difference of their cubes is 485.
(iii) Difference of their Cubes
(x + y)3 = 113
x3 + y3 + 3xy(x + y) = 1331
x3 + y3 = 1331 - 72(11) = 1331 - 792 = 539
So, sum of their cubes is 539.
16. If 4x2+y2=a and xy=b, find the value of 2x+y

Solution:
Given difference between two positive numbers is 4 and difference
between their cubes is 316.
Let the positive numbers be a and b
a - b = 4
a3 - b3 = 316
Cubing both sides,
(a - b)3 = 64

= 2(x2 + y2 + z2 - xy - yz - zx)
= 2x2 + 2y2 + 2z2 - 2xy - 2yz - 2zx
= x2 + x2 + y2 + y2 + z2 + z2 - 2xy - 2yz - 2zx
= (x2 + y2 - 2xy) + (z2 + x2 - 2zx) + (y2 + z2 - 2yz)
= (x - y)2 + (z - x)2 + (y - z)2
Since square of any number is positive, the given equation is always positive.
11. Find:
(i) (a + b)(a + b) = (a + b)2
(ii) (a + b)(a + b)(a + b)
(iii) (a - b)(a - b)(a - b) by using the result of part (ii)
Solution: (i) (a + b)(a + b) = (a + b)2
= a ร a + a ร b + b ร a + b ร b

= a2 + ab + ab + b2
= a2 + b2 + 2ab
(ii) (a + b)(a + b)(a + b)
= (a ร a + a ร b + b ร a + b ร b)(a + b)
= (a2 + ab + ab + b2)(a + b)
= (a2 + b2 + 2ab)(a + b)
= a2 ร a + a2 ร b + b2 ร a + b2 ร b + 2ab ร a + 2ab ร b
= a3 + a2 b + ab2 + b3 + 2a2b + 2ab2
= a3 + b3 + 3a2b + 3ab2
(iii) (a - b)(a - b)(a - b)
In result (ii), replacing b by -b, we get
(a - b)(a - b)(a - b)
= a3 + (-b)3 + 3a2(-b) + 3a(-b)2
= a3 - b3 - 3a2b + 3ab2
