AlgebraicExpressionsandIdentities
Expressionsareformedfromvariablesandconstants.
Constant:Asymbolhavingafixednumericalvalue.Example:2, ,2.1,etc.
Variable:Asymbolwhichtakesvariousnumericalvalues.Example:x,y,z,etc.
AlgebricExpression:Acombinationofconstantsandvariablesconnectedbythesign
+,-, and iscalledalgebraicexpression.
Termsareadded to formexpressions. Terms themselves are formedasproduct of
factors.
Expressions that contain exactly one, two and three terms are called monomials,
binomialsandtrinomialsrespectively.Ingeneral,anyexpressioncontainingoneor
more terms with non-zero coefficients (and with variables having non- negative
exponents)iscalledapolynomial.
Liketermsareformedfromthesamevariablesandthepowersofthesevariablesare
thesame,too.Coefficientsofliketermsneednotbethesame.
While adding (or subtracting) polynomials, first look for like terms and add (or
subtract)them;thenhandletheunliketerms.
Therearenumberofsituations inwhichweneedtomultiplyalgebraicexpressions:
for example, in finding area of a rectangle, the sides of which are given as
expressions.
Monomial:Anexpressioncontainingonlyoneterm.Example:-3,4x,3xy,etc.
Binomial:Anexpressioncontainingtwoterms.Example:2x-3,4x+3y,xy-4,etc.
Trinomial: An expression containing three terms. Example: ,
3x+2y+5z,etc.
Polynomial:Ingeneral,anyexpressioncontainingoneormoretermswithnon-zero
coefficients (andwithvariableshavingnon-negative exponents).Apolynomialmay
containanynumberofterms,oneormorethanone.
Amonomialmultipliedbyamonomialalwaysgivesamonomial.
While multiplying a polynomial by a monomial, we multiply every term in the

polynomialbythemonomial.
In carrying out themultiplication of a polynomial by a binomial (or trinomial),we
multiplytermbyterm,i.e.,everytermofthepolynomialismultipliedbyeveryterm
inthebinomial(ortrinomial).Notethatinsuchmultiplication,wemaygettermsin
theproductwhicharelikeandhavetobecombined.
Anidentityisanequality,whichistrueforallvaluesofthevariablesintheequality.
On the other hand, an equation is true only for certain values of its variables. An
equationisnotanidentity.
Thefollowingarethestandardidentities:
(a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2(I)
(a–b)2=a2–2ab+b2(II)
(a+b)(a–b)=a2–b2(III)
Anotherusefulidentityis(x+a)(x+b)=x2+(a+b)x+ab(IV)
Theabovefouridentitiesareusefulincarryingoutsquaresandproductsofalgebraic
