Step-by-step explanation:

Certainly, I'll help you solve these algebraic expression and identity problems one by one. Let's get started:

1. (x + y) = 2 and (x - y) = 10

Find the value of (xy) and (x^2 + y^2).

First, let's solve for x and y:

- (x + y) = 2

- (x - y) = 10

Adding these two equations:

2x = 12

x = 6

Now, substitute the value of x back into the first equation to find y:

(6 + y) = 2

y = -4

Now, we can calculate:

xy = 6 * (-4) = -24

x^2 + y^2 = 6^2 + (-4)^2 = 36 + 16 = 52

2. (x^2 - 4x - 1) = 0 but x ≠ 0

Find the value of (x - 1/x) and (x^2 - 1/x^2).

Given x ≠ 0, we can solve for x as follows:

x^2 - 4x - 1 = 0

Using the quadratic formula:

x = [4 ± √(4^2 - 4(1)(-1))] / (2(1))

x = [4 ± √(20)] / 2

x = [4 ± 2√5] / 2

x = 2 ± √5

Now, let's calculate the required values:

x - 1/x = (2 ± √5) - 1 / (2 ± √5)

x^2 - 1/x^2 = [(2 ± √5)^2 - 1] / (2 ± √5)^2

3. (x + y + z) = 14 and (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) = 74

Find the value of (xy + yz + xz).

We are given two equations:

x + y + z = 14

x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 74

To find xy + yz + xz, you can use the following identity:

xy + yz + xz = 1/2 [(x + y + z)^2 - (x^2 + y^2 + z^2)]

Substituting the values:

xy + yz + xz = 1/2 [14^2 - 74]

4. (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) = 50 and (xy + yz + xz) = 47

Find the value of (x + y + z).

We are given two equations:

x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 50

xy + yz + xz = 47

You can use a similar approach as in question 3 to find (x + y + z).

5. (x - 1/x) = 5

Find the value of (x + 1/x).

Given (x - 1/x) = 5, you can solve for (x + 1/x).

6. (x + 2/x) = 6

Find the value of (x^2 - 4/x^2).

Given (x + 2/x) = 6, you can solve for (x^2 - 4/x^2).
