Simplify each of the following expressions:

(i)


(ii)


(iii)


(iv)

(i) (3 + ) (2 + )

= 3 * 2 + 2 + + 3 + *


= 6 + 2 + 3 +


(ii) (3 + ) (3 - ) [Therefore, (a + b) (a – b) = a2 – b2]


= 32 – ()2


= 9 – 3


= 6


(iii) ( + )2 [Therefore, (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab]


= ()2 + ()2 + 2 * *


= 5 + 2 + 2 *


= 7 + 2


(iv) ( - ) ( + ) [Therefore, (a + b) (a – b) = a2 – b2]


= ()2 – ()2


= 5 – 2


= 3
