Consider the special case of Identity (IV) with b = –a. What do you get? It is related to Identity (III).
Use a suitable identity to get each of the following products.
(2a - 7) (2a - 7)
Using the identity
(a - b)2Â = a2 -2ab + b2
Â
We have
(2a - 7 ) (2a - 7) =Â (2a - 7)2
                       = (2a)2 - 2(2a)(7) + (7)2
                       = 4a2 - 28a + 49
                      Â
Use a suitable identity to get each of the following products.
(1.1m - 0.41) (1.1m + 0.4)
