"Question 11 Find and correct the errors in the statement: (y − 3)^2 = y^2 − 9
Class 8 Factorisation Page 229"
Answers
Common errors we done by solving algebraical expression and equation:
Error 1
Coefficient 1 of a term is usually not written. So we often ignores that. But while adding like terms, we should include it in the sum.
Error 2
When we multiply the expression enclosed in a bracket by a constant (or a variable) outside, we usually applied the multiplication to first term only. This is wrong calculation. Each term of the expression has to be multiplied by the constant (or the variable).
Error 3
when we square a monomial, we usually ignored the numerical coefficient. This is wrong method. The numerical coefficient and each factor has to be squared.
Error 4
when we square a binomial, we usually do not apply the proper identity. This is wrong approach. The right identity should be used.
Error 5
While dividing a polynomial by a monomial, We usually don’t divide each term of the polynomial in the numerator by the monomial in the denominator.
==========================================================
Solution:
LHS = (y - 3)² =y² -6y+9
RHS = y² - 9
LHS≠ RHS
Correct statement
(y - 3)²=y² -6y+9
