Bài giải:
a) (a + b)2 – (a – b)2 = (a2 + 2ab + b2) – (a2 – 2ab + b2)
= a2 + 2ab + b2 – a2 + 2ab - b2 = 4ab
Hoặc (a + b)2 – (a – b)2 = [(a + b) + (a – b)][(a + b) – (a – b)]
= (a + b + a – b)(a + b – a + b)
= 2a . 2b = 4ab
b) (a + b)3 – (a – b)3 – 2b3
= (a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3) – (a3 – 3a2b + 3ab2 – b3) – 2b3
= a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3 – a3 + 3a2b - 3ab2 + b3 – 2b3
= 6a2b
Hoặc (a + b)3 – (a – b)3 – 2b3 = [(a + b)3 – (a – b)3] – 2b3
= [(a + b) – (a – b)][(a + b)2 + (a + b)(a – b) + (a – b)2] – 2b3
= (a + b – a + b)(a2 + 2ab + b2 + a2 – b2 + a2 – 2ab + b2) – 2b3
= 2b . (3a2 + b2) – 2b3 = 6a2b + 2b3 – 2b3 = 6a2b
c) (x + y + z)2 – 2(x + y + z)(x + y) + (x + y)2
= x2 + y2 + z2+ 2xy + 2yz + 2xz – 2(x2 + xy + yx + y2 + zx + zy) + x2 + 2xy + y2
= 2x2 + 2y2 + z2 + 4xy + 2yz + 2xz – 2x2 – 4xy – 2y2 – 2xz – 2yz = z2
