Algebraic Expressions
1. Expressions are formed from variables and constants.
2. Terms are added to form expressions. Terms themselves are formed as product
of factors.
3. Expressions that contain exactly one, two and three terms are called monomials,
binomials and trinomials respectively. In general, any expression containing one or
more terms with non-zero coefficients (and with variables having non- negative ex-
ponents) is called a polynomial.
4. Like terms are formed from the same variables and the powers of these variables
are the same, too. Coefficients of like terms need not be the same.
5. While adding (or subtracting) polynomials, first look for like terms and add (or
subtract) them; then handle the unlike terms.
6. There are number of situations in which we need to multiply algebraic expres-
sions: for example, in finding area of a rectangle, the sides of which are given as ex-
pressions.
7. A monomial multiplied by a monomial always gives a monomial.
8. While multiplying a polynomial by a monomial, we multiply every term in the
polynomial by the monomial.
9. In carrying out the multiplication of a polynomial by a binomial (or trinomial), we
multiply term by term, i.e., every term of the polynomial is multiplied by every term
in the binomial (or trinomial). Note that in such multiplication, we may get terms in
the product which are like and have to be combined.
10. An identity is an equality, which is true for all values of the variables in the
equality. On the other hand, an equation is true only for certain values of its vari-
ables. An equation is not an identity.
11. The following are the standard identities:
(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2 …………………..(I)
(a – b) 2 = a2 – 2ab + b2 …………………….(II)
(a + b) (a – b) = a2 – b2 …………………….(III)
12. Another useful identity is (x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a + b) x + ab (IV)
13. The above four identities are useful in carrying out squares and products of al-
gebraic expressions. They also allow easy alternative methods to calculate products
of numbers and so on.

6. Using identities, evaluate.

(i) 71²
Answer: 71² Can be written as follows:

(70 + 1)² which can be solved using (a + b)² = a² + b² + 2ab
= 70² + 1² + 2 × 70 × 1
= 4900 + 1 + 140 = 5041
(ii) 99²
Answer: 99² can be written as follows:

(100-1) ² and can be solved using (a − b) ² = a² + b² - 2ab
= 100² + 1² - 2 × 100 × 1
= 10000 + 1 − 200
= 99801
(iii) 102²
Answer: 102² = (100 + 2)²

= 100² + 2² + 2 × 100 × 2
= 10000 + 4 + 400 = 10404
(iv) 998²
Answer: 998² = (1000 - 2)²

= 1000² + 2² - 2 × 1000 × 2
= 1000000 + 4 − 4000
= 996004
(v) 5.2²
Answer: 5.2² = (5 + 0.2)²

= 5² + 0.2² + 2 × 5 × 0.2
= 25 + 0.04 + 2 = 27.04
(vi) 297 × 303
Answer: (297 × 303) = (300 − 3)(300 + 3)

Using (a − b)(a + b) = a ² - b² we get

300² - 3²
= 90000 − 9 = 89991
(vii) 78 × 82
Answer: 78 × 82 = (80 − 2)(80 + 2)

= 80² - 2²
= 6400 − 4 = 6396
(viii) 8.9²
Answer: 8.9² = (9 - 0.1)²

= 9² + 0.1² - 2 × 9 × 0.1
= 81 + 0.01 − 1.8
= 79.21
(ix) 1.05 × 9.5
Answer: 10.5 × 9.5 = (10 + 0.5)(10 − 0.5)

= 10² - 0.5² = 100 − 0.25 = 99.75
7. Using a² – b² = (a + b) (a – b), find
(i) 51² – 49²
Answer: 51² - 49²

= (51 + 49)(51 − 49)
= 100 × 2 = 200
(ii) (1.02) ² – (0.98) ²
Answer: (1.02)² - (0.98)²

= (1.02 + 0.98)(1.02 − 0.98)
= 2 × 0.04 = 0.08
(iii) 153² – 147²
Answer: 153² - 147²

= (153 + 147)(153 − 147)
= 300 × 6 = 1800
(iv) 12.1² – 7.9²
Answer: 12.1² - 7.9²

= (12.1 + 7.9)(12.1 − 7.9)
= 20 × 4.2 = 84

8. Using (x + a) (x + b) = x² + (a + b) x + ab, find

(i) 103 × 104
Answer: 103× 104

= (100 + 3)(100 + 4)
= 100² + (3 + 4)100 + 4 × 3
= 10000 + 700 + 12
= 10712
(ii) 5.1 × 5.2
Answer: 5.1 × 5.2

= (5 + 0.1)(5 + 0.2)
= 5² + (0.1 + 0.2)5 + 0.1 × 0.2
= 25 + 1.5 + 0.02
= 26.52
(iii) 103 × 98
Answer: 103× 98
= (90 + 13)(90 + 8)
= 90² + (13 + 8)90 + 13 × 8
= 8100 + 1890 + 104
= 10094
(iv) 9.7 × 9.8
Answer: 9 .7 × 9 .8
= (9 + 0.7)(9 + 0.8)
= 9² + (0.7 + 0.8)9 + 0.7 × 0.8
= 81 + 13.5 + 0.56
