Algebraic Manipulation

1. (x + 2y)(x - 6y) - (x - y)(x - 3y)

 = (x2 - 6xy + 2xy - 12y2) - (x2 - xy - 3xy + 3y2)

 = x2 - 6xy + 2xy - 12y2 - x2 + xy + 3xy - 3y2)

 = -15y2

 

(x + 2)(x - 5)(x + 8)

 = (x2 - 5x + 2x - 10)(x + 8)

 = x3 - 3x2 - 10x + 8x2 - 4x - 80

 = x3 +5x2 - 34x - 80

 

(x + x + 1)(x + 2)

 = x3 + x2 + x + 2x2 + 2x + 2

 = x3 + 3x2 + 3x + 2

 

2. y2 (y+2) + 3 (y+2)

 = (y2 + 3)(y + 2)

 

3x2 - 21y2

 = 3(x2 - 7y2)

 

  x3 - 3x2 - 5x + 15

 = (x2 - 1)(x - 2)

 = (x + 1)(x - 1)(x - 2) 

 

3. (12 - 4)k2 + (1-3h)m2

 = 12hk2 - 4k2 + m2 - 3hm2 

 = 3h(4k2 - m2) - (4k2 - m2)

 = (3h - 1)(4k2 - m2)

 = (3h - 1) (2k - m)(2k + m)

 

h3k + h2khk3 - hk2

 = hk (h2 - k2) + hk (h - k)

 = hk (h - k)(h + k) + hk(h - k)

 = hk(h - k)(h + k + 1) 

 

n(n + 1)(n + 2) -3n(n + 1)

 = n(n2 + 3n + 2) - 3n2 - 3n

 = n3 + 3n2 + 2n - 3n2 - 3n

 = n3 - n

 = n (n2 - 1)

 = n (n - 1)(n + 1)
