Detailed Solutions
1. 8x 3 – 27 3 = (2x) 3 –(3y) 3
= (2x – 3y) (4x 2 + 9y 2 + 6xy). Ans.(2)
2. x 3+ y 3 + 2x 2 – 2y 2 = (x 3 + y3) + 2(x 2 – y 2)
= (x + y) (x 2 + y2 – xy) + 2(x + y) = (x + y) (x 2 + y 2 –xy + 2x – 2y). Ans.(2)
3. The co-ordinates of the centroid of ∆ ABC are
−1 + 5+ x 4+2+ y
= 0 and = –3 i.e. x = –4 and y = –15.
