Solve simultaneous linear equations:
(i) (x2 – x) (4x2 – 4x – 5) – 6
(ii) x4 + 9x2y2 + 81y4
Solution:
(i) (x2 – x) (4x2 – 4x – 5) – 6
(x2 – x) [(4x2 – 4x) – 5] – 6
(x2 – x) [4(x2 – x) – 5] – 6
Let us assume x2 – x = q
So, q[4q – 5] – 6
4q2 – 5q – 6
4q2 – 8q + 3q – 6
4q(q – 2) + 3(q – 2)
(q – 2) (4q + 3)
Now, substitute the value of q
(x2 – x – 2) (4(x2 – x) + 3)
(x2 – x – 2) (4x2 – 4x + 3)
(x2 – 2x + x – 2) (4x2 – 4x + 3)
[x(x – 2) + 1(x – 2)] (4x2 – 4x + 3)
(x – 2) (x + 1) (4x2 – 4x + 3)
(ii) x4 + 9x2y2 + 81y4
x4 + 9x2y2 + 81y4
Above terms can be written as,
x4 + 18x2y2 + 81y4 – 9x2y2
((x2)2 + (2 × x2 × 9y2) + (9y2)2) – 9x2y2
We know that, (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
(x2 + 9y2)2 – (3xy)2
(x2 + 9y2 + 3xy) (x2 + 9y2 – 3xy)
