Examples with solutions for Square of Difference: Complete the missing numbers

Exercise #1

Fill in the blanks:

x2+?+9=(x3)2 x^2+?+9=(x-3)^2

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To address this mathematical problem, we will apply the square of a binomial formula and solve for the missing term. Here's how:

  • Step 1: Expand the right-hand side of the equation (x3)2(x-3)^2.
  • Step 2: Equate the expanded form to x2+?+9x^2 + ? + 9.
  • Step 3: Solve for the missing term by comparing the coefficients.

Step 1: Expanding (x3)2(x-3)^2 using the formula, we get:

(x3)2=x22x3+32 (x - 3)^2 = x^2 - 2 \cdot x \cdot 3 + 3^2 .

This simplifies to:

x26x+9 x^2 - 6x + 9 .

Step 2: Equating this to the left-hand side:

x2+?+9=x26x+9 x^2 + ? + 9 = x^2 - 6x + 9 .

Step 3: Compare the terms:

The term that replaces "?" on the left-hand side must make the equation hold.

Setting corresponding terms equal, we find that:

?=6x ? = -6x .

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 6x -6x .

Answer

6x -6x

Exercise #2

Fill in the blanks:

(2x?)2=4x212x+? (2x-?)^2=4x^2-12x+\text{?}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the given form and match it with the square of a difference formula
  • Step 2: Determine the values of 'a' and 'b' such that the expanded form matches both sides of the equation
  • Step 3: Calculate the missing value in the expression

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: We are given the expression (2x?)2=4x212x+? (2x-?)^2=4x^2-12x+\text{?} .
Step 2: Using the standard formula for a perfect square expansion:
(2xb)2=(2x)222xb+b2=4x24xb+b2(2x-b)^2 = (2x)^2 - 2 \cdot 2x \cdot b + b^2 = 4x^2 - 4xb + b^2.
By matching coefficients, in 4x212x+?4x^2 - 12x + \text{?}, we see 4xb=12x4xb = 12x. Thus, b=3b = 3.
Step 3: Substitute b=3b = 3 into b2b^2 to get the constant term: b2=32=9b^2 = 3^2 = 9.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 3, 93,\text{ }9.

Answer

3, 9 3,\text{ }9

Exercise #3

Fill in the blanks:

(x?)2=x2?+25 (x-?)^2=x^2-?+25

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Recognize this as a binomial square problem.
  • Step 2: Identify the expanded form of a binomial square.
  • Step 3: Match the terms from both sides of the equation.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: The given expression (x?)2=x2?+25(x-?)^2 = x^2 - ? + 25 is the expansion of a binomial (xa)2 (x-a)^2 .
Step 2: Recall that (xa)2=x22ax+a2(x-a)^2 = x^2 - 2ax + a^2.
Step 3: Compare this equivalent form to x2?+25x^2 - ? + 25:

- The term x2x^2 matches directly on both sides.
- The constant term a2=25a^2 = 25, so a=5a = 5 because 52=255^2 = 25.
- The middle term 2ax-2ax is currently unspecified, but it provides the form needed to fill the blank with 2ax-2ax.

Matching the expanded form: - The term inside (x?)(x-?) should be 55 (because a=5a=5).
- Therefore, the missing linear term can be 10x10x since 2×5=10-2 \times 5 = -10.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 5, 10x5,\text{ }10x.

Answer

5, 10x 5,\text{ }10x

Exercise #4

Fill in the blanks:

(?×x?)2=9x224x+16 (?\times x-?)^2=9x^2-24x+16

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, let's identify the steps needed to determine the missing values.

  • Step 1: Apply the perfect square formula.
    Write (a×xb)2=a2x22abx+b2(a \times x - b)^2 = a^2x^2 - 2abx + b^2.
  • Step 2: Compare with the given polynomial.
    Set the expression equal to the provided polynomial: 9x224x+169x^2 - 24x + 16.
  • Step 3: Match coefficients.
    From a2x2=9x2a^2x^2 = 9x^2, we get a2=9a^2 = 9.
    From 2abx=24x-2abx = -24x, we get 2ab=24-2ab = -24.
    From b2=16b^2 = 16, we get b2=16b^2 = 16.
  • Step 4: Solve for aa and bb.
    - Solve a2=9a^2 = 9, giving a=3a = 3 or a=3a = -3. Choose a=3a = 3 for simplicity.
    - Solve b2=16b^2 = 16, giving b=4b = 4 or b=4b = -4. Choose b=4b = 4 for simplicity.
    - Check 2ab=24-2ab = -24: 2(3)(4)=24-2(3)(4) = -24, which is correct.

Therefore, the missing values are 3,4 \boxed{3, 4} .

Thus, the solution to the problem is: 3,43, 4.

Answer

3, 4 3,\text{ }4

Exercise #5

Fill in the blanks:

(x2y)2+(y2x)2=(?)×(x2+1)+2xy×(?)+y2×(?) (x^2-y)^2+(y^2-x)^2=(?)\times(x^2+1)+2xy\times(?)+y^2\times(?)

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, let's consider the expansion of the expressions:

First, expand each square:

  • (x2y)2=(x2)22(x2)y+y2(x^2 - y)^2 = (x^2)^2 - 2(x^2)y + y^2
  • (y2x)2=(y2)22(y2)x+x2(y^2 - x)^2 = (y^2)^2 - 2(y^2)x + x^2

Expanding these expressions, we get:

(x2y)2=x42x2y+y2(x^2 - y)^2 = x^4 - 2x^2y + y^2
(y2x)2=y42y2x+x2(y^2 - x)^2 = y^4 - 2y^2x + x^2

Adding the two expanded forms gives:

x42x2y+y2+y42y2x+x2=x4+y4+x2+y22x2y2y2xx^4 - 2x^2y + y^2 + y^4 - 2y^2x + x^2 = x^4 + y^4 + x^2 + y^2 - 2x^2y - 2y^2x

Now rearrange the terms in a form similar to the given expression:

The goal is to arrange the polynomial as: a(x2+1)+2xbcxy+c(y2+1)a(x^2 + 1) + 2xbcxy + c(y^2 + 1).

Since now we want: (x2y)2+(y2x)2=a(x2+1)+2xy((x+y))+c(y2+1)(x^2 - y)^2 + (y^2 - x)^2 = a(x^2 + 1) + 2xy(- (x+y)) + c(y^2 + 1).

Create matching forms:

  • The term for a(x2+1)a(x^2 + 1) will have a=x2a = x^2.
  • The term for bb in 2xy((x+y))2xy(- (x+y)) will have b=(x+y)b = -(x+y).
  • The term for c(y2+1)c(y^2 + 1) will have c=y2+1c = y^2 + 1.

Therefore, the correct values to fill in are (x2,(x+y),y2+1)(x^2,-(x+y),y^2+1).

Thus, our complete expression is:

(x2y)2+(y2x)2=x2(x2+1)+2xy((x+y))+y2(y2+1) (x^2 - y)^2 + (y^2 - x)^2 = x^2(x^2+1) + 2xy(-(x+y)) + y^2(y^2+1)

Hence, the answer is:

x2,(x+y),y2+1 x^2,-(x+y),y^2+1

Answer

x2,(x+y),y2+1 x^2,-(x+y),y^2+1

Exercise #6

Fill in the blanks:

(?×x1)2+(?×x2)2=5x28x+5 (?\times x-1)^2+(?\times x-2)^2=5x^2-8x+5

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll fill in the blanks in the expression (?×x1)2+(?×x2)2=5x28x+5(?\times x-1)^2+(?\times x-2)^2=5x^2-8x+5.

Let's expand the individual expressions:
1. (ax1)2=a2x22ax+1(a \cdot x - 1)^2 = a^2x^2 - 2ax + 1
2. (bx2)2=b2x24bx+4(b \cdot x - 2)^2 = b^2x^2 - 4bx + 4

Now, add these expansions together:
(a2x22ax+1)+(b2x24bx+4)(a^2x^2 - 2ax + 1) + (b^2x^2 - 4bx + 4)
= (a2+b2)x2(2a+4b)x+5(a^2 + b^2)x^2 - (2a + 4b)x + 5

We equate this to the given quadratic: 5x28x+55x^2 - 8x + 5.

Matching coefficients, we have:
a2+b2=5a^2 + b^2 = 5
2a+4b=82a + 4b = 8

Now, solve these equations:

From the second equation: 2a+4b=82a + 4b = 8, divide by 2:
a+2b=4a + 2b = 4

Substitute a=42ba = 4 - 2b from this into a2+b2=5a^2 + b^2 = 5:

(42b)2+b2=5(4 - 2b)^2 + b^2 = 5
1616b+4b2+b2=516 - 16b + 4b^2 + b^2 = 5
5b216b+16=55b^2 - 16b + 16 = 5
5b216b+11=05b^2 - 16b + 11 = 0

Factoring the quadratic equation 5b216b+11=05b^2 - 16b + 11 = 0:
(5b11)(b1)=0(5b - 11)(b - 1) = 0

This gives us b=115b = \frac{11}{5} or b=1b = 1.

Using b=1b = 1, substitute back to find aa:
a=42(1)=2a = 4 - 2(1) = 2

Thus, the correct integers for the blanks are a=2a = 2 and b=1b = 1.

Therefore, the correct answer is 2, 12, \text{ } 1.

Answer

2, 1 2,\text{ }1

Exercise #7

(3xa)2+(4xb)2=(xc)2+(26xd)2 (3x-a)^2+(4x-b)^2=(x-c)^2+(2\sqrt{6}x-d)^2

Work out the values of a, b, c , and d given that b > 0.

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's solve the problem by following these detailed steps:

Step 1: Expand Both Sides

  • Left Side: (3xa)2=9x26ax+a2 (3x-a)^2 = 9x^2 - 6ax + a^2
  • (4xb)2=16x28bx+b2 (4x-b)^2 = 16x^2 - 8bx + b^2
  • Right Side: (xc)2=x22cx+c2 (x-c)^2 = x^2 - 2cx + c^2
  • (26xd)2=24x246xd+d2(2\sqrt{6}x-d)^2 = 24x^2 - 4\sqrt{6}xd + d^2

Step 2: Form Complete Expanded Equations

Left Side: 9x26ax+a2+16x28bx+b2=25x2(6a+8b)x+(a2+b2) 9x^2 - 6ax + a^2 + 16x^2 - 8bx + b^2 = 25x^2 - (6a + 8b)x + (a^2 + b^2)

Right Side: x22cx+c2+24x246xd+d2=25x2(2c+46d)x+(c2+d2) x^2 - 2cx + c^2 + 24x^2 - 4\sqrt{6}xd + d^2 = 25x^2 - (2c + 4\sqrt{6}d)x + (c^2 + d^2)

Step 3: Equate Coefficients

  • x2x^2 terms: Coefficient is already checked as equal.
  • (6a+8b)=(2c+46d)- (6a + 8b) = - (2c + 4\sqrt{6}d) implies 6a+8b=2c+46d 6a + 8b = 2c + 4\sqrt{6}d (1)
  • Equate constant terms: a2+b2=c2+d2 a^2 + b^2 = c^2 + d^2 (2)

Step 4: Solve the System

  • Choose condition b>0 b > 0 and analyze choice details:
  • Using equations and choice alignment, correct viable numbers satisfy both conditions given choice and direct solve constraints.
  • Solution: a=46,b=36,c=12,d=6 a = -4\sqrt{6}, b = 3\sqrt{6}, c = -12, d = \sqrt{6}

Therefore, the values are a=46,b=36,c=12,d=6 a=-4\sqrt{6},b=3\sqrt{6},c=-12,d=\sqrt{6} .

Answer

a=46,b=36,c=12,d=6 a=-4\sqrt{6},b=3\sqrt{6},c=-12,d=\sqrt{6}
