Question 1
What must be subtracted from (x3−3x2+5x−1) to get (2x3+x2−4x+2) ?
−x3+4x2+9x−3
−x3−4x2+6x−3
−x3−4x2+9x−9
−x3−4x2+9x−3
SOLUTION
Solution : D
Let the expression to be subtracted be y.
Hence,
(x3−3x2+5x−1)−y=2x3+x2−4x+2
On rearranging the terms,
y=(x3−3x2+5x−1)−(2x3+x2−4x+2)
y=x3−3x2+5x−1−2x3−x2+4x−2
y=x3−2x3−3x2−x2+5x+4x−1−2
⇒y=−x3−4x2+9x−3
So we have to subtarct (−x3−4x2+9x−3) to get the required value.

(11x2−8x+4) and (6x2+7x−10).
17x2−x−6
17x2−x+6
17x2+x−6

To find : Sum of (11x2−8x+4) and (6x2+7x−10)
On adding the like terms together, we get,
11x2−8x+4
+ 6x2+7x−10––––––––––––––––––
17x2−x−6
Question 4
Find the value of 362−352=
SOLUTION
Solution :Using the Identity (x+a)(x−a)=x2−a2
We Put x = 36 and a = 35(36 + 35) (36 - 35) = (71) (1) = 71
Question 5
Simplify:
(xy+yz)2−(xy−yz)2
4xy2
4xy2z
4xz
−4xy2z
SOLUTION
Solution : B
Using the identity,
(a+b)2=a2+b2+2ab,
we get,
(xy+yz)2=x2y2+y2z2+2xzy2...(1)
Using the identity,
(a−b)2=a2+b2−2ab
we get,
(xy−yz)2=x2y2+y2z2−2xzy2...(2)
Subtracting (2) from (1), we get(x2y2+y2z2+2xzy2)−(x2y2+y2z2 −2xzy2)
=2xzy2+2xzy2
=4xy2z
Question 6
Simplify (xy+yz)2−2x2y2z and find it's value when x=−1,y=1 and z=2.

-3
0
SOLUTION
Solution : C
(xy+yz)2 is in the form of (a+b)2 where a=xy and b=yz.
Using (a+b)2=a2+b2+2ab,
(xy+yz)2=x2y2+y2z2+2xzy2.Therefore,
(xy+yz)2−2x2y2z=x2y2+y2z2+2xzy2−2x2y2zSubstituting the values of x,y and z in the above expression, we get
x2y2+y2z2+2xzy2−2x2y2z
(−1)2(1)2+(1)2(2)2+2(−1)(2)(1)2−2(1)2(1)2(2)
1 + 4 - 4 - 4 = -3
Question 7
Which of the following is an algebraic expression?
x2−3
4x + 7
3
x = 10
SOLUTION
Solution : A, B, and C
An algebraic expression consists of variables, constants and operators (+, -, / ,x). An algebraic expression is the sum of algebraic terms.
When an algebraic expression is equated to another algebraic expression or zero, it becomes an algebraic equation.
- x2−3 has the variable x, constant term 3 and the operator ′−′.
- 4x+7 has the variable x, constant term 7 and the operator ′+′.
- 3 can be written as 3x0+0 which has a variable term, constant term and the operator.
Hence, x2−3,4x+7 and 3 are algebraic expressions where as x=10 is an algebraic equation.
Question 8
Which of the following is a binomial?
2x + 7
4x + y + 2
7 - 3x + 4y
3x
SOLUTION
Solution : A
A polynomial which involves two terms is called a binomial. For example, 3y + 9, 4a - 10 etc.
Question 9
(a+b+c)(a+b-c) = ___________.
a2+2ab−c2
a2+4ab+b2−c2
a2+2ab+b2
a2+2ab+b2−c2
SOLUTION
Solution : D
(a+b+c)(a+b−c)=
(a2+ab−ac+ab+b2−bc+ac+bc−c2)
=(a2+2ab+b2−c2)
Question 10
5x×(−4yz)×3xz =
60xyz
15x2z2−4yz
−60xyz
−60x2yz2
SOLUTION
Solution : D
On multiplying x with x, its power is raised to 2 i.e., x×x=x2
On multiplying z with z its power is also raised to 2 .
i.e.,
z×z=z2
Multiply all the coefficients to get 5×(−4)×3=−60Therefore, the answer is −60x2yz2.
