103. Two numbers with a sum of 1 and a product of 42 are 7 and 6. So, n 2 + n 42 = (n + 7)(n 6) Check that the factors are correct. Multiply the factors. (n + 7)(n 6) = n 2 6n + 7n 42 = n 2 + n 42 This trinomial is the same as the original trinomial, so the factors are correct. 104. 8z 2 112z + 360 The greatest common factor is 8. 8z 2 112z + 360 = 8(z 2 14z + 45) Two numbers with a sum of 14 and a product of 45 are 5 and 9. So, z 2 14z + 45 = (z 5)(z 9) And, 8z 2 112z + 360 = 8(z 5)(z 9) Check that the factors are correct. Multiply the factors. 8(z 5)(z 9) = 8(z 2 14z + 45) = 8z 2 112z + 360 The trinomial is the same as the original trinomial, so the factors are correct. 105. Use the formula for the area, A, of a rectangle. A = l w A = ( 5b 6) ( 3b 2) Use the distributive property. A = 5b(3b 2) + ( 6)(3b 2) A = 15b 2 10b 18b + 12 A = 15b 2 28b + 12 The area of the rectangle is 15b 2 28b + 12 square units. 4
106. Use the formula for the area, A, of a rectangle: A = lw A = (4x 5y)(6x + 3y) A = 4x(6x) + 4x(3y) 5y(6x) 5y(3y) A = 24x 2 + 12xy 30xy 15y 2 A = 24x 2 18xy 15y 2 The expression 24x 2 18xy 15y 2 represents the area of this rectangle. 107. Use the formula for the volume, V, of a right rectangular prism: V = lwh 108. 196x 2 16y 2 V = (5r 6)(2r + 3)(r + 5) V = (10r 2 + 15r 12r 18)(r + 5) V = (10r 2 + 3r 18)(r + 5) V = 10r 2 (r) + 10r 2 (5) + 3r(r) + 3r(5) 18(r) 18(5) V = 10r 3 + 53r 2 + 3r 90 Since this expression does not match the student s expression, the student is incorrect. The expression 10r 3 + 53r 2 + 3r 90 represents the volume of the right rectangular prism. As written, each term of the binomial is not a perfect square. But the terms have a common factor 4. Remove this common factor. 196x 2 16y 2 = 4(49x 2 4y 2 ) Write each term in the binomial as a perfect square. È 4(49x 2 4y 2 ) = 4 (7x) 2 (2y) 2 ÎÍ = 4(7x 2y)(7x + 2y) Write these terms in binomial factors. 5
109. a) The area, A, of the larger square is: ( 8s) 2 = 64s 2 The area, A, of the smaller square is: (8s 4 4) 2 = ( 8s 8) 2 The area, A, of the frame is: A = 64s 2 (64s 2 128s + 64) A = 64s 2 64s 2 + 128s 64 A = 128s 64 A = 64(2s 1) = 64s 2 128s + 64 b) When s = 15 cm, the area, A square centimetres, of the frame is: A = 64(2s 1) È A = 64 ÎÍ 2( 15) 1 A = 1856 The area of the frame is 1856 cm 2. 110. Simplify each polynomial. i) 1 + 2x 2 + 14x + 5 11x = 2x 2 + 14x 11x 1 + 5 = 2x 2 + 3x + 4 ii) 6x 2 + 6x 3 3x + 7 4x 2 = 6x 2 4x 2 + 6x 3x 3 + 7 = 2x 2 + 3x + 4 iii) 3x + 1 + 8x 2 + 6 6x 2 = 8x 2 6x 2 + 3x + 1 + 6 = 2x 2 + 3x + 7 Polynomials i and ii are equivalent because they both simplify to the same polynomial: 2x 2 + 3x + 4 111. a) The outer rectangle has dimensions 9y and 6y. Its area is: (9y)(6y) = 54y 2 The inner rectangle has dimensions 5y and 3y. Its area is: (5y)(3y) = 15y 2 b) The total area of the shaded region is the difference in the areas of the rectangles: 54y 2 15y 2 = 39y 2 6
