Answer
(i) Given,
⇒ 4x2 + ax + 9 = (2x + 3)2
⇒ 4x2 + ax + 9 = (2x)2 + 32 + 2 × 2x × 3
⇒ 4x2 + ax + 9 = 4x2 + 9 + 12x
⇒ ax = 12x
⇒ a = 12.
Hence, a = 12.
(ii) Given,
⇒ 4x2 + ax + 9 = (2x - 3)2
⇒ 4x2 + ax + 9 = (2x)2 + 32 - 2 × 2x × 3
⇒ 4x2 + ax + 9 = 4x2 + 9 - 12x
⇒ ax = -12x
⇒ a = -12.
Hence, a = -12.
(iii) Given,
⇒ 9x2 + (7a - 5)x + 25 = (3x + 5)2
⇒ 9x2 + (7a - 5)x + 25 = (3x)2 + 52 + 2 × 3x × 5
⇒ 9x2 + (7a - 5)x + 25 = 9x2 + 30x + 25
⇒ 7a - 5 = 30
⇒ 7a = 35
⇒ a = = 5.
Hence, a = 5.
