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

MaterialdownloadedfrommyCBSEguide.com. 2/2

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
