1. Missing middle term, first term, last term





1. Find Missing Middle Term of a given equation `x^2+4`

Solution:
`x^2+4`


Here `"F.T. = x^2, L.T. = 4 and M.T. = ?`

`(M.T.)^2 = 4(F.T.)(L.T.)`

`:. (M.T.)^2 = 4 * x^2 * 4=16x^2`

`:. M.T. = 4x`

So polynomial is `x^2+4x+4`


2. Find Missing Middle Term of a given equation `9x^2+16`

Solution:
`9x^2+16`


Here `"F.T. = 9x^2, L.T. = 16 and M.T. = ?`

`(M.T.)^2 = 4(F.T.)(L.T.)`

`:. (M.T.)^2 = 4 * 9x^2 * 16=576x^2`

`:. M.T. = 24x`

So polynomial is `9x^2+24x+16`


3. Find Missing Middle Term of a given equation `9x^2+y^2`

Solution:
`9x^2+y^2`


Here `"F.T. = 9x^2, L.T. = y^2 and M.T. = ?`

`(M.T.)^2 = 4(F.T.)(L.T.)`

`:. (M.T.)^2 = 4 * 9x^2 * y^2=36x^2y^2`

`:. M.T. = 6xy`

So polynomial is `9x^2+6xy+y^2`


4. Find Missing Last Term of a given equation `x^2+6x`

Solution:
`x^2+6x`


Here `"F.T.=x^2, M.T. = 6x and L.T. = ?`

`(M.T.)^2 = 4(F.T.)(L.T.)`

`:. L.T. = (M.T.)^2 / (4(F.T.))`

`= (6x)^2 / (4 * x^2)`

`= (6x * 6x) / (4 * x^2)`

`= 9`

`:. L.T.=9`

So polynomial is `x^2+6x+9`


5. Find Missing Last Term of a given equation `9x^2+6x`

Solution:
`9x^2+6x`


Here `"F.T.=9x^2, M.T. = 6x and L.T. = ?`

`(M.T.)^2 = 4(F.T.)(L.T.)`

`:. L.T. = (M.T.)^2 / (4(F.T.))`

`= (6x)^2 / (4 * 9x^2)`

`= (6x * 6x) / (4 * 9x^2)`

`= 1`

`:. L.T.=1`

So polynomial is `9x^2+6x+1`


6. Find Missing First Term of a given equation `6x+9`

Solution:
`6x+9`


Here `"L.T.=9, M.T. = 6x and F.T. = ?`

`(M.T.)^2 = 4(F.T.)(L.T.)`

`:. F.T. = (M.T.)^2 / (4(L.T.))`

`= (6x)^2 / (4 * 9)`

`= (6x * 6x) / (4 * 9)`

`= x^2`

`:. F.T.=x^2`

So polynomial is `x^2+6x+9`


7. Find Missing First Term of a given equation `6x+1`

Solution:
`6x+1`


Here `"L.T.=1, M.T. = 6x and F.T. = ?`

`(M.T.)^2 = 4(F.T.)(L.T.)`

`:. F.T. = (M.T.)^2 / (4(L.T.))`

`= (6x)^2 / (4 * 1)`

`= (6x * 6x) / (4 * 1)`

`= 9x^2`

`:. F.T.=9x^2`

So polynomial is `9x^2+6x+1`
