Answer

(i) Given,

⇒ (2x + 3y)(4x2 - 6xy + 9y2)

⇒ (2x + 3y)[(2x)2 - 2x × 3y + (3y)2]

Comparing above equation with (a ±\pm b)(a2 \mp ab ±\pm b2) = a3 ±\pm b3, we get :

a = 2x and b = 3y

∴ (2x + 3y)[(2x)2 - 2x × 3y + (3y)2] = (2x)3 + (3y)3

= 8x3 + 27y3.

Hence, (2x + 3y)(4x2 - 6xy + 9y2) = 8x3 + 27y3.

(ii) Given,

(a33b)(a29+ab+9b2)(a33b)[(a3)2+a3×3b+(3b)2]\Rightarrow \Big(\dfrac{a}{3} - 3b\Big)\Big(\dfrac{a^2}{9} + ab + 9b^2\Big) \\[1em] \Rightarrow \Big(\dfrac{a}{3} - 3b\Big)\Big[\Big(\dfrac{a}{3}\Big)^2 + \dfrac{a}{3} \times 3b + (3b)^2\Big]\\[1em]

Using identity given in question :

(a33b)[(a3)2+a3×3b+(3b)2]=(a3)3(3b)3=a32727b3.\therefore \Big(\dfrac{a}{3} - 3b\Big)\Big[\Big(\dfrac{a}{3}\Big)^2 + \dfrac{a}{3} \times 3b + (3b)^2\Big] = \Big(\dfrac{a}{3}\Big)^3 - (3b)^3\\[1em] = \dfrac{a^3}{27} - 27b^3.

Hence, (a33b)(a29+ab+9b2)=a32727b3\Big(\dfrac{a}{3} - 3b\Big)\Big(\dfrac{a^2}{9} + ab + 9b^2\Big) = \dfrac{a^3}{27} - 27b^3.
