Mathematics
1. Learn and write the identities five times:
(a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab
(a – b)2 = a2 + b2 – 2ab
A2 – b2 = (a – b) (a+b)
(x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a+b)x + ab
2. Solve the following using identities:
i) (72)2 [using identity ( a+ b )2]
ii) ( a2 – b2 )2
iii) 501 x 503 [ using identity ( x + a ) ( x + b ) ]
3. Factorise the following by splitting the middle term:
i) p2 + 6 p + 8
ii) q2 -10 q + 21
4. Divide the following :
i) ( 5x2 – 6x )÷ 3 𝑥
ii) ( 10 x – 25 ) )÷ ( 2 x – 5 )
5. Learn and write the square root of and cube root of n numbers from 1 to 10.
