2. Classify the following polynomials as monomials, binomials, trinomials. Which polynomials do not fit in any of these three categories? x + y, 1000, x + x² + x³ + x⁴ , 7 + y + 5x, 2y – 3y² , 2y – 3y² + 4y³ , 5x – 4y + 3xy, 4z – 15z² , ab + bc + cd + da, pqr, p²q + pq² , 2p + 2q

Solution:

Let us first define the classifications of these 3 polynomials:

Monomials contain only one term.

Binomials contain only two terms.

Trinomials contain only three terms.

3.  Add the following.

(i) ab – bc, bc – ca, ca – ab

(ii) a – b + ab, b – c + bc, c – a + ac

Solution:

i) (ab – bc) + (bc – ca) + (ca-ab)

= ab – bc + bc – ca + ca – ab

= ab – ab – bc + bc – ca + ca

= 0

ii) (a – b + ab) + (b – c + bc) + (c – a + ac)

= a – b + ab + b – c + bc + c – a + ac

= a – a +b – b +c – c + ab + bc + ca

= 0 + 0 + 0 + ab + bc + ca

= ab + bc + ca

iii) 2p²q² – 3pq + 4, 5 + 7pq – 3p²q²

= (2p²q² – 3pq + 4) + (5 + 7pq – 3p²q²)

= 2p²q² – 3p²q² – 3pq + 7pq + 4 + 5

= – p²q² + 4pq + 9

iv)(l² + m²) + (m² + n²) + (n² + l²) + (2lm + 2mn + 2nl)

= l² + l² + m² + m² + n² + n² + 2lm + 2mn + 2nl

Solution:

(a) (12a – 9ab + 5b – 3) – (4a – 7ab + 3b + 12)

= 12a – 9ab + 5b – 3 – 4a + 7ab – 3b – 12

= 12a – 4a -9ab + 7ab +5b – 3b -3 -12

= 8a – 2ab + 2b – 15

b) (5xy – 2yz – 2zx + 10xyz) – (3xy + 5yz – 7zx)

= 5xy – 2yz – 2zx + 10xyz – 3xy – 5yz + 7zx

=5xy – 3xy – 2yz – 5yz – 2zx + 7zx + 10xyz

= 2xy – 7yz + 5zx + 10xyz

c) (18 – 3p – 11q + 5pq – 2pq² + 5p²q) – (4p²q – 3pq + 5pq² – 8p + 7q – 10)

= 18 – 3p – 11q + 5pq – 2pq² + 5p²q – 4p²q + 3pq – 5pq² + 8p – 7q + 10

=18+10 -3p+8p -11q – 7q + 5 pq+ 3pq- 2pq^2 – 5pq^2 + 5 p^2 q – 4p^2 q

= 28 + 5p – 18q + 8pq – 7pq² + p²q

5. Show that.

(i) (3x + 7)² – 84x = (3x – 7)²

(ii) (9p – 5q)²+ 180pq = (9p + 5q)²

(iii) (4/3m – 3/4n)² + 2mn = 16/9 m² + 9/16 n²

(iv) (4pq + 3q)²– (4pq – 3q)² = 48pq²

(v) (a – b) (a + b) + (b – c) (b + c) + (c – a) (c + a) = 0

Solution:

i) LHS = (3x + 7)² – 84x

= 9x² + 42x + 49 – 84x
= 9x² – 42x + 49
= RHS

LHS = RHS

ii)  LHS = (9p – 5q)²+ 180pq
= 81p² – 90pq + 25q² + 180pq
= 81p² + 90pq + 25q²
RHS = (9p + 5q)²
= 81p² + 90pq + 25q²
LHS = RHS

= 70² + 140 + 1²

= 4900 + 140 +1

= 5041

ii) 99²

= (100 -1)²

= 100² – 200 + 1²

= 10000 – 200 + 1

= 9801

iii) 102²

= (100 + 2)²

= 100² + 400 + 2²

= 10000 + 400 + 4 = 10404

iv) 998²

= 89991

vii) 78 x 82

= (80 – 2)(80 + 2)

= 80² – 2²

= 6400 – 4

= 6396

viii) 8.9²

= (9 – 0.1)²

= 9² – 1.8 + 0.1²

= 81 – 1.8 + 0.01

= 79.21

ix) 10.5 x 9.5

= (10 + 0.5)(10 – 0.5)

(iii) 153²– 147²

(iv) 12.1²– 7.9²

Solution:

i) 51²– 49²

ii) (1.02)²– (0.98)²

= (1.02 + 0.98)(1.02 – 0.98) = 2 x 0.04 = 0.08

iii) 153² – 147²

(ii) 5.1 x 5.2

(iii) 103 x 98

(iv) 9.7 x 9.8

Solution:

i) 103 x 104

= (100 + 3)(100 + 4)

= 100² + (3 + 4)100 + 12

= 10000 + 700 + 12

= 10712

ii) 5.1 x 5.2

= (5 + 0.1)(5 + 0.2)

= 5² + (0.1 + 0.2)5 + 0.1 x 0.2

= 25 + 1.5 + 0.02

= 26.52

iii) 103 x 98

= (100 + 3)(100 – 2)

= 100² + (3-2)100 – 6

iv) 9.7 x 9.8

= (9 + 0.7 )(9 + 0.8)
