If xy2k=(4xy+3y)2-(4xy-3y)2. Find the value of k.
Solution.
It is given that,
⇒xy2k=(4xy+3y)2-(4xy-3y)2⇒xy2k=16x2y2+9y2+24xy2-16x2y2-9y2+24xy2Using(a+b)2=a2+b2=2aband(a-b)2=a2+b2-2ab⇒xy2k=48xy2⇒k=48xy2xy2∴k=48
Hence, the value of kis 48.
In the expressions x3+4xy+3y2 and 3x2+5xy, which are the like terms?
