Simplify the following products: (m + n/7)^3 (m – n/7)

Simplify Products Using Identity Simplify the Following Products \[ \left(m + \frac{n}{7}\right)^3 \left(m – \frac{n}{7}\right) \] Solution: \[ \left(m + \frac{n}{7}\right)^3 \left(m – \frac{n}{7}\right) \] \[ = \left(m + \frac{n}{7}\right)^2 \left(m + \frac{n}{7}\right) \left(m – \frac{n}{7}\right) \] Using identity: \[ (a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2 \] \[ = \left(m + \frac{n}{7}\right)^2 \left(m^2 – \frac{n^2}{49}\right) \] Again using identity: \[

Simplify the following products: (1/2 a – 3b)(3b + 1/2 a)(1/4 a^2 + 9b^2)

Simplify Products Using Identity Simplify the Following Products \[ \left(\frac{1}{2}a – 3b\right) \left(3b + \frac{1}{2}a\right) \left(\frac{1}{4}a^2 + 9b^2\right) \] Solution: Using identity: \[ (a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2 \] \[ \left(\frac{1}{2}a – 3b\right) \left(3b + \frac{1}{2}a\right) = \left(\frac{1}{2}a\right)^2 – (3b)^2 \] \[ = \frac{1}{4}a^2 – 9b^2 \] Now the expression becomes: \[ \left(\frac{1}{4}a^2 – 9b^2\right) \left(\frac{1}{4}a^2 + 9b^2\right) \]

If x + 1/x = √5, find the values of x^2 + 1/x^2 and x^4 + 1/x^4

Find the Values Using Identity Find the Values \[ x + \frac{1}{x} = \sqrt{5} \] Find: \[ x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} \quad \text{and} \quad x^4 + \frac{1}{x^4} \] Solution: Using identity: \[ \left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)^2 = x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} + 2 \] \[ (\sqrt{5})^2 = x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} + 2 \] \[ 5 = x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} +
