Exercise 2.1
Question 1.

Separate the constants and variables from the following:

and


Answer:

In the given question

The symbols which has a fixed value are constant such as 15, 3, –3/7 and 7


The symbols which do not have any fixed value, but may be assigned the value (values) according to the requirement are called the variables such as



Where z, x and y are variables which may acquire different values according to the situation.


And a combination of a constant and a variable is a variable.



Question 2.

7xyz, 9 – 4y, 4y2 – xz, x – 2y + 3z, 7x + z2, 8xy, x2y2, 4 + 5y – 6z.


Answer:

A polynomial which contains only one term is monomials

Such as


A Polynomial which contains two terms is called a Polynomial.


Such as 9–4y, 4y2 – xz, 7x +z2


A polynomial which contains three terms is called as trinomial


Such as x –2y +3z, 4+5y –6z




Exercise 2.2
Question 1.

Classify into like terms:

4x2, x, –8x3, xy, 6x3, 4y, –74x3, 8xy, 7xyz, 3x2.


Answer:

The terms having same variable with same exponents are called like terms

Here like terms are


(4x2,3x2) with same variable x and exponential power as 2


( has no like term with x as variable and exponential power as 1)


(–8x3, 6x3, –74x3 with variable as x and exponential power as 3 )


7xyz has no like term as no other term has three variables x, y, z


(xy, 8xy has same variables x, y and exponential power of both x and y as 1)



Question 2.

Simplify:

(i) 7x – 9y + 3 – 3x – 5y + 8;

(ii) 3x2 + 5xy – 4y2 + x2 – 8xy – 5y2.


Answer:

While adding or subtracting, the like term`s numerical coefficient are added or subtracted

(i) 7x – 9y + 3 – 3x – 5y + 8


⇒ (7– 3)x +(–9 –5)y +3+8


⇒ 4x – 14y +11


(ii) 3x2 + 5xy – 4y2 + x2 – 8xy – 5y2


⇒ (3+1) x2 +( –4 –5) y2 +( 5–8) x y


⇒ 4x2 – 9y2 – 3xy



Question 3.

Add:

(i) 5a + 3b, a – 2b and 3a + 5b;

(ii) x3 – x2y + 5xy2 + y, –x3 – 9xy2 + y, and 3x2y + 9xy2.


Answer:

(i) While adding or subtracting, the like term`s numerical coefficient are added or subtracted

⇒ (5 + 1+ 3)a + (3 – 2 +5) b


⇒ 9 a + 6b


(ii) While adding or subtracting, the like term`s numerical coefficient are added or subtracted


⇒ (1–1) x3 + (–1+3) x2y + (5–9 +9) xy2 + (1+1) y


⇒ 0x3 + 2 x2y +5xy2 +2y


⇒ 2 x2y +5xy2 +2y



Question 4.

Subtract:

(i) –2xy + 3xy2 from 8xy;

(ii) a – b – 2c from 4a + 6b – 2c.


Answer:

Given problem asks to subtract

(i) –2xy + 3xy2 from 8xy


⇒ 8xy – ( –2xy + 3xy2 )


⇒ 8xy +2xy –3xy2


⇒ 10xy –3xy2


(ii) a – b – 2c from 4a + 6b – 2c


⇒ 4a +6b –2c – (a– b – 2c)


⇒ 4a +6b –2c –a + 2c +b


While adding or subtracting, the like term`s numerical coefficient are added or subtracted


⇒ (4–1) a + (6 +1) b +( –2 +2) c


⇒ 3a +7b

(ii) (–3pq) (–15p3q2 – q3)

(iii) (3a3 – 3b3)

(iv) –x2(x – 15).


Answer:

(5x +8) 3x


= 5x × 3x + 8× 3x


= 15x2 +24x


(ii) By using the distributive law


= (–3pq)(–15 p3q2) – (–3pq)(q3)


= 45p4q3 + 3pq4


(iii) By using the distributive law

(iv) (2m3 + 3m)(5m – 1).


Answer:

By using the distributive law

(i) (2xy – xy)(3xy – 5)


= 2xy (3xy – 5) –xy (3xy –5)


= 6x2y2 –10xy – 3x2y2 +5xy


= 3x2y2 – 5xy (after adding and subtracting the like terns)


(ii) (3xy2 + 1)(4xy – 6xy2)


By using the distributive law


3xy2 ((4xy – 6xy2) +1((4xy – 6xy2)


= 3xy2 × 4xy – 3xy2 × 6xy2 + 4xy – 6xy2


= 12x2y3 – 18 x2y4 + 4xy –6xy2


(iii) (3x2 + 2x)(2x2 + 3)


By using the distributive law


3x2 (2x2 + 3) +2x (2x2 + 3)


= 3x2 × 2x2 + 3x2 × 3 + 2x × 2x2 + 2x × 3


= 6x4 + 9x2 + 4x3 +6x


(iv) (2m3 + 3m)(5m – 1).


By using the distributive law


2m3 (5m –1) +3m (5m –1)


= 2m3 × 5m – 1× 2m3 + 3m × 5m – 1× 3m


= 10m4 – 2m3 + 15m2 – 3m

Answer:

(i) By using the distributive law

= a(a + 5) +3((a+5)


= a2 +5a +3a +15


= a2 +8a +15


(ii) By using the distributive law


= 3t (3t + 4) + 1(3t + 4)


= 9t2 + 12t +3t + 4


= 9t2 + 15t +4


(iii) By using the distributive law


= a( a+2) –8(a+2)


= a2 + 2a – 8a – 16


= a2 – 6a –16


(iv) By using the distributive law


= a (a–2) – 6 ( a – 2)


= a2 –2a – 6a +12


= a2 – 8a +12



Question 2.

Evaluate using suitable identities:

(i) 53 × 55 (ii) 102 × 106

(iii) 34 × 36 (iv) 103 × 96


Answer:

(i) 53 × 55

We can re–write 53 and 55 as


(50+3)× (50+5)


Using the identity


(x+a) (x+b) = x2 + (a+b) x + ab


(50+3)× (50+5) where x = 50, a = 3 and b = 5


= 502 + ( 3+5) 50 + 3× 5


=2500 + 400 + 15


= 2915


(ii) 102 × 106


= (100 + 2) (100 + 6)


Using the identity


(x+a) (x+b) = x2 + (a+b) x + ab


Here x= 100, a = 2 and b = 6


⇒ (100 + 2) (100 + 6)


= 1002 + ( 2+6) 100 + 2× 6


= 10000 + 800 +12


= 10812


(iii) 34 × 36


= (30+4) + (30+6)


Using the identity


(x+a) (x+b) = x2 + (a+b) x + ab


Here x = 30, a= 4 and b = 6


So, 302 +( 4+6) 30 +(4× 6)


= 900 + 300 +24


= 1224


(iv) 103 × 96


= (90 + 13) (90 +6)


Using the identity


(x+a) (x+b) = x2 + (a+b) x + ab


Here x = 90, a = 13 and b = 6


So, (90 + 13) (90 +6)


= 902 + ( 13+6) 90 +(13× 6)


= 8100 + 1710 +78


= 9888



Question 3.

Find the expression for the product (x + a)(x + b)(x + c) using the identity (x + a)(x + b) = x2 + (a + b)x + ab


Answer:

first we will expand (x + a)(x + b)

Using the identity


(x+a) (x+b) = x2 + (a+b)x + ab


= x2 + (a+b)x + ab


Now multiplying the expansion with (x+c)


(x2 + (a+b)x + ab) (x+c)


By using the distributive law


x(x2 + (a+b) x + ab) + c(x2 + (a+b) x + ab)


= x3 + (a + b)x2 + abx + cx2 + (a + b)cx + abc


Arranging the like terms

= x3 + (a + b)x2 + cx2 + abx + (a + b)cx + abc

= x3 + (a + b + c)x2 + abx + acx + bcx + abc

= x3 + (a + b + c) x2 + x(ab+ ac+ bc) + abc

We can split 55 as (50+5)


And 45 as (50–5)


Now 55 × 45


= (50+5) (50–5)


Using the identity (a +b) (a–b) = a2 – b2

Answer:

Two adjacent sides are 2x2 – 5xy + 3z2 and 4xy – x2 – z.


Area of rectangle = (2x2 – 5xy + 3z2)× (4xy – x2 – z)


⇒ Area of rectangle = 2x2(4xy – x2 – z)-5xy(4xy – x2 – z) + 3z2(4xy – x2 – z)


⇒ Area of rectangle = 8x3y-2x4-2x2z-20x2y2 + 5x3y + 5xyz + 12xyz2-3x2z2-3z3


Perimeter of rectangle = 2× (2x2 – 5xy + 3z2 + 4xy – x2 – z)

The sides of a rectangle are 2x + 3y and 3x + 2y. From this a square of side length x + y is removed. What is the area of the remaining region?


Answer:

Length of rectangle = 2x + 3y


Breadth of rectangle = 3x + 2y


Area of rectangle = (Length× breadth) = (2x + 3y)× (3x + 2y)


⇒ Area of rectangle = 6x2 + 13xy + 6y2


Side of square = x + y


Area of Square = (Side× Side) = (x + y)2


⇒ Area of Square = x2 + y2 + 2xy


Area of remaining region = ( Area of rectangle- Area of Square) = 5x2 + 5y2 + 11xy



Question 35.

If a, b are rational numbers such that a2 + b2 + c2 – ab – bc – ca = 0, prove that a = b = c.


Answer:

a2 + b2 + c2 – ab – bc – ca = 0


Multiplying both sides by 2 we get


2 (a2 + b2 + c2 – ab – bc – ca ) = 0


⇒ (a2 + b2 - 2ab) + ( b2 + c2 - 2bc) + (c2 + a2 -2ac) = 0


The individual terms inside the brackets can be expressed as a whole square


⇒ (a – b)2 + (b – c)2 + (c – a)2 = 0


Since a, b, c are rational and none of the term is equal to zero so each of the terms inside the bracket must individually be equal to zero


⇒ a – b = 0


⇒ a = b


⇒ b – c = 0


⇒ b = c


⇒ c – a = 0


⇒ c = a


So together we can say that


a = b = c
