7. Evaluate the following using identities:

(i) $99^{3} = (100 - 1)^{3} = 1000000 - 1 - 300 (99) = 970299$

(ii) $102^{3} = (100 + 2)^{3} = 1000000 + 8 + 600 (102) = 1061208$

(iii) $998^{3} = (1000 - 2)^{3} = 1000000000 - 8 - 6000 (998) = 994011992$

8. Factorise each of the following (cubic-type factorizations):

(i) $8 a^{3} + b^{3} + 12 a^{2} b + 6 a b^{2} = (2 a + b)^{3}$

(ii) $8 a^{3} - b^{3} - 12 a^{2} b + 6 a b^{2} = (2 a - b)^{3}$

(ii) $x^{3} - y^{3} = (x - y) (x^{2} + x y + y^{2})$

Verified by expanding RHS.

(standard verifications using cube identities.)

10. Factorise sums/differences of cubes:

(i) $27 y^{3} + 125 z^{3} = (3 y + 5 z) (9 y^{2} - 15 y z + 25 z^{2})$

(ii) $64 m^{3} - 343 n^{3} = (4 m - 7 n) (16 m^{2} + 28 m n + 49 n^{2})$

11. Factorise

$27 x^{3} + y^{3} + z^{3} - 9 x y z$

Write as $(3 x)^{3} + y^{3} + z^{3} - 3 (3 x) y z$ . Using the identity $x^{3} + y^{3} + z^{3} - 3 x y z = (x + y + z) (x^{2} + y^{2} + z^{2} - x y - y z - z x)$ we get

$(3 x + y + z) (9 x^{2} + y^{2} + z^{2} - 3 x y - y z - 3 x z)$

12. Verify

$x^{3} + y^{3} + z^{3} - 3 x y z = \frac{1}{2} (x + y + z) [(x - y)^{2} + (y - z)^{2} + (z - x)^{2}]$

Verified by expanding RHS (standard identity; equivalently derived from $(x + y + z) (x^{2} + y^{2} + z^{2} - x y - y z - z x)$

13. If $x + y + z = 0$ , show $x^{3} + y^{3} + z^{3} = 3 x y z$

From identity $x^{3} + y^{3} + z^{3} - 3 x y z = (x + y + z) (x^{2} + y^{2} + z^{2} - x y - y z - z x)$

If $x + y + z = 0$ RHS is $0$ , hence $x^{3} + y^{3} + z^{3} = 3 x y z$

14. Without actually calculating the cubes, find:

(i) $(- 12)^{3} + 7^{3} + 5^{3}$ . Since $- 12 + 7 + 5 = 0$ , use result of Q13: value $= 3 (- 12) (7) (5) = - 1260$

(ii) $28^{3} + (- 15)^{3} + (- 13)^{3}$ . Since $28 - 15 - 13 = 0$ , value $= 3 \cdot 28 \cdot (- 15) \cdot (- 13) = 16380$

15. Give possible expressions for length and breadth of rectangles whose areas are:

(i) Area $= 25 a^{2} - 35 a + 12$ . Factorize:

$25 a^{2} - 35 a + 12 = (5 a - 3) (5 a - 4)$

Possible dimensions: $5 a - 4$ and $5 a - 3.$

(ii) Area $= 35 y^{2} + 13 y - 12$ . Factorize:

$35 y^{2} + 13 y - 12 = (7 y - 3) (5 y + 4)$

Possible dimensions: $7 y - 3$ and $5 y + 4.$

16. Possible expressions for dimensions of cuboids with given volumes:

(i) Volume $= 3 x^{2} - 12 x = 3 x (x - 4)$ . Possible dimensions: $3, x, x - 4$

(ii) Volume $= 12 k y^{2} + 8 k y - 20 k = 4 k (3 y^{2} + 2 y - 5) = 4 k (3 y + 5) (y - 1)$ . Possible dimensions: $4 k, 3 y + 5, y - 1$
