Question
Simplify (2.5p − 1.5q)2 − (1.5p − 2.5q)2
Solution
(2.5p − 1.5q)2 − (1.5p − 2.5q)2
= (2.5p)2 − 2(2.5p) (1.5q) + (1.5q)2 − [(1.5p)2 − 2(1.5p)(2.5q) + (2.5q)2]
[(a − b)2 = a2 − 2ab + b2 ]
= 6.25p2 − 7.5pq + 2.25q2 − [2.25p2 − 7.5pq + 6.25q2]
= 6.25p2 − 7.5pq + 2.25q2 − 2.25p2 + 7.5pq − 6.25q2]
= 4p2 − 4q2
