Find and correct the errors in the statement: (a + 4) (a + 2) = a² + 8

Open in App

Solution

L.H.S. = (a + 4) (a + 2) = (a)² + (4 + 2) (a) + 4 × 2

= a² + 6a + 8 ≠ R.H.S

The correct statement is (a + 4) (a + 2) = a² + 6a + 8

(a - 4) (a - 2) = a^{2} - 8

(a + 4) (a + 2) = a^{2} + 8

(a + 4) (a + 2) = a^{2} + 8

(a - 4) (a - 2) = a^{2} - 8
