Question 5

For what value of x would this expression be a perfect square: $8.88 × 8.88 - x × 8.88 + 0.5 × 0.5$?

 A

1.

 B

0.1.

 C

0.001.

 D

0.01.

Soln.
Ans: a

Comparing the given expression with $a^2 - 2 × a ×b + b^2 = (a - b)^2$, we see that if a = 8.88, and b = 0.5 then by inspection, x should be equal to 2b = 2 × 0.5 = 1.
