9. Solve the following system of equations by the method of elimination (substitution).

                (a + b) x + (a – b) y = a2 + b2

                (a – b) x + (a + b) y = a2 + b2

10. ABC is a triangle in which AB = AC and D is a point on AC such that, BC2 = AC × CD. Prove that BD = BC.

11. Solve the following system of linear equations graphically: 4x – 5y – 20 = 0; 3x +5y – 15 = 0. Determine the area of triangle formed by these lines, and the line x=0.

12. Prove that in a triangle, if square of one side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the angle opposite to the first side is a right angle. Using the above do the following: In quadrilateral ABCD, ÐB = 900. If AD2 = AB2 + BC2 + CD2, then prove that ÐACD = 900.

13. Divide 3x2 – x3 – 3x + 5 by x – 1 – x2, and verify the division algorithm.

14. In an equilateral triangle ABC, D is a point on side BC such that BD = 1 / 3 BC. Prove that 9 AD2 = 7 AB2.

15. Show that one and only one out of n , n+2 or n+4 is divisible by 3. Where ‘n’ is any positive integers.
