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.
(x + 3) ( x + 3)
Using the identity
(x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a + b)x + ab
we have
(x + 3 ) (x + 3) = x2 + ( 3 + 3)x + ( 3 x 3)
= x2 + 6x + 9
Use a suitable identity to get each of the following products.
(1.1m - 0.41) (1.1m + 0.4)
