Simplify each of the following expressions:
(i) $(x+y+z)^{2}+(x+y / 2+2 / 3)^{2}-(x / 2+y / 3+z / 4)^{2}$
(ii) $(x+y-2 z)^{2}-x^{2}-y^{2}-3 z^{2}+4 x y$
(iii) $\left[x^{2}-x+1\right]^{2}-\left[x^{2}+x+1\right]^{2}$
(i) Expanding, we get
$=\left[x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}+2 x y+2 y z+2 z x\right]+\left[x^{2}+\frac{y^{2}}{4}+\frac{z^{2}}{9}+2 x \frac{y}{2}+2 \frac{z x}{3}+\frac{y z}{3}\right]$
$-\left[\frac{x^{2}}{4}+\frac{y^{2}}{9}+\frac{z^{2}}{10}+\frac{x y}{3}+\frac{y z}{6}+\frac{x z}{4}\right]$
$\left[\because(x+y+z)^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}+2 x y+2 y z+2 x z\right]$
$=x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}+2 x y+2 y z+2 z x+x^{2}+\frac{y^{2}}{4}+\frac{z^{2}}{9}+2 x \frac{y}{2}+\frac{x y}{3}+\frac{2 z x}{3}-\frac{x^{2}}{4}-\frac{y^{2}}{9}-\frac{z^{2}}{10}$
$-\frac{x y}{3}-\frac{y z}{6}-\frac{x z}{4}$
Rearranging coefficients,
$=\frac{8 x^{2}-x^{2}}{4}+\frac{36 y^{2}+9 y^{2}-4 y^{2}}{36}+\frac{144 z^{2}+16 z^{2}-9 z^{2}}{144}+\frac{6 x y+3 x y-x y}{3}+\frac{13 y z}{6}+\frac{29 x z}{12}$
$=\frac{7 x^{2}}{4}+\frac{41 y^{2}}{36}+\frac{151 z^{2}}{144}+\frac{8 x y}{3}+\frac{13 y z}{6}+\frac{29 z x}{12}$
$(x+y+z)^{2}+\left(x+\frac{y}{2}+\frac{z}{3}\right)^{2}-\left(\frac{x}{2}+\frac{y}{3}+\frac{z}{4}\right)^{2}$
$=\frac{7 x^{2}}{4}+\frac{41 y^{2}}{36}+\frac{151 z^{2}}{144}+\frac{8 x y}{3}+\frac{13 y z}{6}+\frac{29 z x}{12}$
(ii) Expanding, we get
$(x+y-2 z)^{2}-x^{2}-y^{2}-3 z^{2}+4 x y$
$=\left[x^{2}+y^{2}+4 z^{2}+2 x y+2 y(-2 z)+2 a(-2 c)\right]-x^{2}-y^{2}-3 z^{2}+4 x y$
$=z^{2}+6 x y-4 y z-4 z x$
$(x+y-2 z)^{2}-x^{2}-y^{2}-3 z^{2}+4 x y=z^{2}+6 x y-4 y z-4 z x$
(iii) Expanding, we get
$\left[x^{2}-x+1\right]^{2}-\left[x^{2}+x+1\right]^{2}$
$\left.=\left(x^{2}\right)^{2}+(-x)^{2}+1^{2}+2\left(x^{2}\right)(-x)+2(-x)(1)+2 x^{2}\right)-\left[\left(x^{2}\right)^{2}+x^{2}+1+2 x^{2} x+2 x(1)+2 x^{2}(1)\right]$
$\left[\because(x+y+z)^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}+2 x y+2 y z+2 x z\right]$
$=x^{4}+y^{2}+1-2 x^{3}-2 x+2 x^{2}-x^{2}-x^{4}-1-2 x^{3}-2 x-2 x^{2}$
$=-4 x^{3}-4 x$
$=-4 x\left(x^{2}+1\right)$
Hence simplified equation $=\left[x^{2}-x+1\right]^{2}-\left[x^{2}+x+1\right]^{2}=-4 x\left(x^{2}+1\right)$
