Let us remember the basic explanations of algebra

Constants and variables : A variety having a fixed numerical value is named a continuous whereas variables in algebra are words such as x, y, z or any other letter that can be used to represent unfamiliar numbers.

Algebraic expression : A manifestation that includes a combo of constants and variables connected to each other by a number of operation (+, -, X, ·) is named an algebraic manifestation.

Example are algebraic expressions

Term : The parts of an algebraic expression segregated by an addition or a subtraction indication are called conditions of the manifestation. In the appearance the conditions of the manifestation are are adjustable terms as their worth will change with the worthiness of x, while (-4) is a frequent term.

On the foundation of the amount of terms within an algebraic expression, they can be classified as monomials, binomials, trinomials and polynomials.

Monomials are algebraic expressions having one term.

Binomials are algebraic expressions having two conditions.

Trinomials are algebraic expressions having three conditions.

Polynomials are algebraic expressions having one or more than one term.

Remember - Only expressions with positive powers of factors are called polynomials. A manifestation of the type is not a polynomial as and the power of adjustable p is (- 1) which is not a whole number.

Example 1

Classify the algebraic expressions as monomials, binomials or trinomials.

Solution

Like and Unlike terms : Terms having the same algebraic factors are called like terms. The numerical coefficients may vary. 2x2yz, 5x2yz, 8x2yz and 2x2yz are like terms

3p 3q2, 7p 3q2and 9p 3q2 are also like terms.

Unlike terms : Terms having different algebraic factors are called unlike terms, , 3x2yz

3p 3q2 are unlike conditions.

Addition and Subtraction of Algebraic Expressions.

In algebra, like terms can be added or subtracted.

To add or subtract algebraic expressions we may use the horizontal method or the column method.

The horizontal method

All algebraic expressions are written in a horizontal lines; the like terms are then grouped. The amount or difference of the numerical coefficients is then found.

Example 2

Add the following

Solution

Example 3

Subtract

Solution

The column method

In the column method, each expression is written in another row so that like terms are arranged one below the other in a column. The sum or difference of the numerical coefficients is then found.

Example 4

Add :

Solution

To add by horizontal method, acquire the like terms and add coefficients.

To add by column method, set up the like conditions in column and add

Example 5

Subtract :

Solution

We know that the subtraction of two algebraic expressions or terms is addition of the additive inverse of the second term to the first term. Because the additive inverse of a term has other sign of the word, hence we can say that in subtraction of algebraic expressions change + to - and change - to + for the term to be subtracted and then add the two terms

To subtract by column method, organize the like conditions in columns and change the sign of the subtrahend

Multiplication of Algebraic Expressions

Multiplication of a monomial by another monomial

To multiply 2 monomials

1. Multiply the numerical coefficients
2. Multiply the literal coefficients and use laws of exponents if parameters are same.

The product of two monomials is definitely a monomial.

Example 1

Find the product of

Solution

Geometrical interpretation of product of two monomials

The area of a rectangle is distributed by the merchandise of length and breadth.

If we consider the length as l and breadth as b, then

Area of rectangle = l x b

Thus, it can be said that the area of a rectangle is product of two monomials.

Let us look at a rectangle of size 4p and breadth 3p,

Area of rectangle ABCD =Abdominal x Advertising = 4p x 3p = 12p2

Multiplication of an monomial with a binomial

To multiply a monomial with a binomial, we use the distributive law

1. Multiply the monomial by the first term
2. Multiply the monomial by the next term of the binomial.
3. The consequence is the sum of the two terms

The product of an monomial and a binomial is obviously a binomial.

Example 2

Find the product

Solution

Example 3

Multiply

Solution

Geometrical interpretation of product of your monomial and a binomial

Area of rectangle = l x b

Let us get a rectangle ABCD with size (p+q) and breadth k.

Take a spot P on Stomach such that AP = p and PB = q.

Draw a line parallel to AD from the idea P, PQЅAD meeting DC at Q.

Area of rectangle ABCD = section of rectangle APQD +area of rectangle PBCQ

= k x p + k x q

= k(p + q)

Thus, the merchandise k(p + q) signifies the area of your rectangle with size as a binomial (p+q) and breadth as a monomial k.

Multiplication of any monomial with a polynomial

To multiply a monomial with a binomial, we can extend the distributive rules further

The product of any monomial and a polynomial is a polynomial.

Example 3

Find the product of

Solution

We have multiplied horizontally in all the above examples

We can also multiply vertically as shown below

Multiply

Geometrical interpretation of product of the monomial and a polynomial

Let us consider a rectangle with length = (p +q + r) and breadth= k

Take details M and N on Belly such that

AM = p and MN = q and NB = r

. from the points M and N get parallel to Advertising,

MXЅAdvertising and NYЅAD getting together with DC at X and Y.

Area of rectangle ABCD = region of rectangle AMXD +area of rectangle MNYX +area of rectangle NBCY

Area of rectangle ABCD=pk + qk + rk = k(p + q+ r)

Thus, the product of a monomial and a polynomial symbolizes the area of the reactangle with duration as a polynomial and breadth as a monomial.

Example 4

Simplify

Solution

Multiplication of binomials

To multiply two binomials (a + b) and (c + d) we will again use the distributive law of multiplication over addition twice

We can also increase vertically as shown below

Multiplication of polynomial by way of a polynomial

A polynomial can be an algebraic manifestation having 1 or even more than one term

To multiply two polynomials, we use the distributive property that is multiply each term of the first polynomial with each term of the next polynomial.

Multiply

Solution

We have multiplied horizontally in these example, We are able to also increase vertically as shown below

Exercise 6. 2

Algebraic identities

An id is a special type of formula in which the LHS and the RHS are similar for all beliefs of the parameters.

The above equation is true for any possible values of any and b; so that it is named an identity.

An identity is different from equation as an formula is not true for all ideals of variables, ;it offers a unique solution.

Example

There are a number of identities which are being used in mathematics to make calculations easy. We will research 4 basic identities

Verification of identities

in this identity a and b can be positive or negative

Draw a range MC parallel to PS intersecting SR at C.

Similarly, mark a spot B on RQ in a way that RB = a and QB = b.

The complete square is split into 2 squares and 2 rectangles say A1, A4, A2and A3

Area of Square X1 = aspect2= a2

Area of rectangle X2= span x breadth = ab

Area of rectangle X3= length x breadth = ab

Area of Square X4 = part2= b2

area of Square PQRS = sum of inside area = area of X1+ part of X2+ area ofX3+ area ofX4

Factorization of algebraic expressions

Any number can be written as something of its factors

Example, 12 = 2 x 2 x 3, 2 and 3 are reported to be factors of 12.

Similarly, in algebra, an algebraic appearance can be written as something of the factors.

Example : A monomial like 3abc can be written as 3 x a x b x c, 3, a, b and c are factors of 3abc.

In case of your binomial 2xz + 5xy, we can write it as x (2z +5y), Here, x and (2z + 5y) are factors of the binomial 2xz + 5xy.

Factorization

Factorizing an algebraic manifestation means expressing it as a product of irreducible factors. You can find three basic options for factorizing an algebraic expression

1. By going for a common factor
2. By regrouping terms
3. By using identities

Let us consider two monomials,

They can be written as a product of the factors as:

Factorization by firmly taking a standard factor

Let us consider an algebraic appearance

Example 1

Factorise the following algebraic expressions

Solution

Factorization by regrouping terms

Some algebraic expressions haven't any common factor for all the terms as for example

To factorise such expressions we use the technique of regrouping.

All four terms do not have any common factor. So we rearrange the conditions of the expression as
