Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Factorise question 10 c).

    The expression is 75x2+10x−2175x^2 + 10x - 21.
    We need to find two numbers that multiply to 75×(−21)=−157575 \times (-21) = -1575 and add up to 10. These numbers are 45 and -35.
    Rewrite the middle term:

    75x2+45x−35x−2175x^2 + 45x - 35x - 21

    Group the terms and factor:

    (75x2+45x)−(35x+21)(75x^2 + 45x) - (35x + 21) 15x(5x+3)−7(5x+3)15x(5x + 3) - 7(5x + 3)

    Factor out the common binomial (5x+3)(5x+3):

    (5x+3)(15x−7)(5x + 3)(15x - 7)

    The factored expression is (5x+3)(15x−7)\boxed{(5x+3)(15x-7)}.

  2. Factorise question 10 d).

    The expression is 49p2−4q249p^2 - 4q^2.
    This is a difference of squares, a2−b2=(a−b)(a+b)a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b).
    Here, a=49p2=7pa = \sqrt{49p^2} = 7p and b=4q2=2qb = \sqrt{4q^2} = 2q.

    (7p)2−(2q)2=(7p−2q)(7p+2q)(7p)^2 - (2q)^2 = (7p - 2q)(7p + 2q)

    The factored expression is (7p−2q)(7p+2q)\boxed{(7p - 2q)(7p + 2q)}.

  3. Solve the equation from the rectangular piece of land problem.

    The visible equation is 4(2x+4)=2404(2x+4) = 240.
    Divide both sides by 4:

    2x+4=24042x+4 = \frac{240}{4} 2x+4=602x+4 = 60

    Subtract 4 from both sides:

    2x=60−42x = 60 - 4 2x=562x = 56

    Divide by 2:

    x=562x = \frac{56}{2} x=28x = 28

    Another visible equation is x2−16−240=0x^2 - 16 - 240 = 0.

    x2−256=0x^2 - 256 = 0 x2=256x^2 = 256

    Take the square root of both sides:

    x=±256x = \pm\sqrt{256} x=±16x = \pm 16

    Assuming xx represents a positive dimension, x=16x = 16.
    The solutions for xx from the visible equations are x=28\boxed{x=28} and x=16\boxed{x=16}.

  4. Expand the expression from the rectangular playground problem.

    The expression for the area is (3x+1)(2x+5)(3x+1)(2x+5).
    Expand the product:

    (3x+1)(2x+5)=3x(2x)+3x(5)+1(2x)+1(5)(3x+1)(2x+5) = 3x(2x) + 3x(5) + 1(2x) + 1(5) =6x2+15x+2x+5= 6x^2 + 15x + 2x + 5 =6x2+17x+5= 6x^2 + 17x + 5

    The expanded expression is 6x2+17x+5\boxed{6x^2 + 17x + 5}.
