Problems from Notable products

Using notable products develop the following algebraic expressions:

  1. (x+y+1)2
  2. (x+1)(x1)(x1)(x+1)
  3. (x22)3
See development and solution

Development:

1) (x+y+1)2=(x+(y+1))2=x2+2x(y+1)+(y+1)2=

=x2+2xy+2x+(y2+2y+1)=x2+y2+2xy+2x+2y+1

2) (x+1)(x1)(x1)(x+1)=

=((x+1)(x1))((x1)(x+1))=

=(x21)(x21)=(x21)2=x42x2+1

3) (x22)3=(x2)33(x2)22+3x22223=x66x4+12x28

Solution:

  1. x2+y2+2xy+2x+2y+1
  2. x42x2+1
  3. x66x4+12x28
