Q16. If 4x + 9y + z – 6xy – 3yz –2xz = 0 , then prove that 2x = 3y = z
Solution:

Can we write the expression

4x2 + 9y2 + z2 – 6xy – 3yz – 2xz = 0

as (2x)2 + (3y)2 + (z)2 – (2x)(3y) – (3y)(z) – (2x)(z) = 0

a2 + b2 + c2 – ab – bc – ca = 0 ⇒ a = b = c

⇒ 2x = 3y = z

Solution:
Q22. If x + y + z = 1, xy + yz + zx = -1 and xyz = -1, find the value of x 3 + y3 + z3.
Solution:
x3 + y3 + z3 - 3xyz = (x + y + z)(x2 + y2 + z2 - xy - yz - zx)
⇒ x3 + y3 + z3 - 3xyz
= (x + y + z)(x2 + y2 + z2 + 2xy + 2yz + 2zx - 3xy - 3yz - 3zx)
[Adding the subtracting 2xy + 2yz + 2zx]
⇒ x3 + y3 + z3 - 3xyz = (x + y + z) {(x + y + z)2 - 3(xy + yz + zx)}
⇒ x3 + y3 + z3 - 3(- 1) = 1 × {(1)2 - 3(-1)}
[Putting the values of x + y + z, xy + yz + zx and xyz]
⇒ x3 + y 3 + z 3 + 3 = 4
⇒ x3 + y 3 + z 3 = 4 - 3 = 1
Q23. Solve 2x - 1 ≤ 0
Solution:

1/2 is not included

2x is less than or equal to 1
2 is a positive number, so if we divide
by 2, inequality will remain same

Q24. Solve 3x - 3 ≤ 2
Solution:

3x ≤ 5 is not included
3 is a positive number, so if we divide by
3, inequality will remain same

Q25. Solve -2x + 5 ≤ 7
Solution:

-2x ≤ 7 - 5
-2x ≤ 2
To have x on L.H.S. let's divide both sides by – 2

–1

Inequality reverses when we divide or

multiply by a negative number
