Question 7.
(2x)2 + 4(2x) + 7 = 2x2 + 8x + 7
EH The given statement is incorrect.
The correct statement is (2x)2 + 4(2x) + 7
= 4x2 + 8x + 7.
Question 8.
(2x)2 + 5x = 4x + 5x = 9x

The correct statement is (3x + 2)2
= (3x)2 + 2(3x)(2) + 22 = 9x2 + 12x + 4.
Question 10.
Substituting x = -3 in
(a) x2 + 5x + 4
gives (-3)2 + 5 (-3) + 4 = 9 + 2 + 4 = 15
(b) x2 – 5x + 4
gives (-3)2 – 5(-3) + 4 = 9 – 15 + 4 = -2
(c) x2 + 5x gives (-3)2 + 5 (-3) = -9 -15 = – 24
Solution:
(a) Incorrect statement
Substituting x = -3 in x2 + 5x + 4 gives
(-3)2 + 5(-3) + 4 = 9 – 15 + 4 = -2
(b) Incorrect statement
Substituting x = -3 in x2 – 5x + 4 gives
(-3)2 – 5(-3) + 4 = 9 + 15 + 4 = 28
(c) Incorrect statement
Substituting x = -3 in x2 + 5x gives
(-3)2 + 5(-3) = 9 – 15 = – 6
Question 11.
(y – 3)2 = y2 – 9
Solution:
The given statement is incorrect.
The correct statement is (y – 3)2 = y2 – 6y + 9
Question 12.
(z + 5)2 = z2 + 25
Solution:
The given statement is incorrect.
The correct statement is (z + 5)2 = z2 + 10z + 25
Question 13.
(2a + 3b)(a – b) = 2a2 – 3b2
Solution:
The given statement is incorrect.
The correct statement is (2a + 3b)(a – b)
= 2a(a – b) + 3b(a – b)
= 2a2 – 2ab + 3ab – 3b2
= 2a2 + ab – 3b2
Question 14.
(a + 4)(a + 2) = a2 + 8
Solution:
The given statement is incorrect.
The correct statement is (a + 4) (a + 2)
= a(a + 2) + 4 (a + 2)
= a2 + 2a + 4a + 8 = a2 + 6a + 8
Question 15.
(a – 4)(a – 2) = a2 – 8
Solution:
The given statement is incorrect.
The correct statement is (a – 4) (a – 2)
= a(a – 2) – 4(a – 2) = a2 – 2a – 4a + 8
= a2 – 6a + 8
Question 16.
\(\frac{3 x^{2}}{3 x^{2}}\) = o
Solution:
The given statement is incorrect.
The correct statement is
\(\frac{3 x^{2}}{3 x^{2}}\) = 1
