Solved Examples

Question 1: Simplify $\frac{45x^{12}}{30x^6}$
Solution:
Given $\frac{45x^{12}}{30x^6}$

Step 1:
Factorized the numerator and denominator

45 x12 = 3 * 3 * 5 * x12

30 x6 = 2 * 3 * 5 * x6

Step 2:

$\frac{45x^{12}}{30x^6}$ = $\frac{3 * 3 * 5 * x^{12}}{ 2 * 3 * 5 * x^6}$

= $\frac{3 * x^{12}}{ 2 * x^6}$

= $\frac{3}{2}$$x^{12 - 6} [ \frac{x^m}{x^n} = xm - n ] = \frac{3}{2}$$ x^6$

=> $\frac{45x^{12}}{30x^6}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$$x^6$

Question 2: Solve the quadratic equation by using formula

2x2 + 5x - 3 = 0

Solution:
Given quadratic equation 2x2 + 5x - 3 = 0

Comparing with equation ax2 + bx + c = 0

a = 2, b = 5  and  c = - 3

b2 - 4ac = 52 - 4 * 2 * - 3

= 25 + 24

= 49

and $\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}$ = $\sqrt{49}$

= 7

=> $\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}$ = 7

therefore

x = $\frac{- b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

= $\frac{- 5 \pm 7}{2 * 2}$

= $\frac{- 5 \pm 7}{4}$

=> x = $\frac{- 5 + 7}{4}$   or   x = $\frac{- 5 - 7}{4}$

=> x = $\frac{1}{2}$, - 3.

Question 3: Simplify $\frac{x^3 - 2^3}{x^2 + 2x - 8}$
Solution:
Given, $\frac{x^3 - 2^3}{x^2 + 2x - 8}$

Step 1:

x3 - 23 = (x - 2)(x2 + 2x + 22 )

= (x - 2)(x2 + 2x + 4)

[x3 - y3 = (x - y)(x2 + xy + y2 )]

and
x2 + 2x - 8 = x2 + 4x - 2x - 8

= x(x + 4) - 2(x + 4)

= (x + 4)(x - 2)

Step 2:

$\frac{x^3 - 2^3}{x^2 + 2x - 8}$ = $\frac{ (x - 2)(x^2 + 2x + 4)}{ (x + 4)(x - 2) }$

= $\frac{x^2 + 2x + 4}{x + 4}$

=> $\frac{x^3 - 2^3}{x^2 + 2x - 8}$ = $\frac{x^2 + 2x + 4}{x + 4}$
