Question 11:

If x=210-8 and y=210+22, then (x-y)2=____________.

Answer:

Given:x=210-8y=210+22Now,x=210-8Multiply and divide RHS by 10+8, we getx=210-8×10+810+8x=210+8102-82           Using the identity:a+ba-b=a2-b2x=210+810-8x=210+82x=10+81x=10+8x=10+22y=210+22Multiply and divide RHS by 10-22, we gety=210+22×10-2210-22y=210-22102-222           Using the identity:a+ba-b=a2-b2y=210-2210-8y=210-222y=10-221y=10-22Thus,x-y2=10+22-10-222           =10+22-10+222           =422           =32


Hence, if x=210-8 and y=210+22, then (x-y)2=32.
