Factorise the following using appropriate identities:
(i) 9x 2 + 6xy + y 2
(ii) 4y 2 – 4y + 1
(iii) x 2 – \(\frac{y^2 }{ 100}\)
(i) 9x2 + 6xy + y2 = (3x)2 + 2(3x)(y)+(y)2
= (3x + y)(3x + y) [x2 + 2xy + y2 = (x + y)2]
(ii) 4y2 - 4y + 1 = (2y)2 - 2(2y)91) + (1)2
= (2y - 1)(2y - 1) [x2 - 2xy + y2 = (x - y)2]
(iii) x2 -\(\frac{y^2 }{ 100}\) = x2 - (\(\frac{y }{ 10}\))2
= (x + \(\frac{y }{ 10}\)) (x -\(\frac{y }{ 10}\)) [x2 - y2 = (x + y) (x - y)]
(Street Plan) : A city has two main roads which cross each other at the centre of the city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and East-West direction.
All the other streets of the city run parallel to these roads and are 200 m apart. There are 5 streets in each direction. Using 1cm = 200 m, draw a model of the city on your notebook. Represent the roads/streets by single lines. There are many cross- streets in your model. A particular cross-street is made by two streets, one running in the North - South direction and another in the East - West direction. Each cross street is referred to in the following manner : If the 2nd street running in the North - South direction and 5th in the East - West direction meet at some crossing, then we will call this cross-street (2, 5). Using this convention, find:
(i) how many cross - streets can be referred to as (4, 3).
(ii) how many cross - streets can be referred to as (3, 4).
