Question 1.
Cara, you think of two more such situations, where we may need to multiply algebraic expressions?
[Hint: Think of speed and time;
Think of interest to be paid, the principal and the rate of simple interest; etc.]
Solution:
(i) Speed, Distance and time
Since Speed = Distance / Time
Speed × Time = Distance
(ii) Principal, Time, Rate, Simple Interest
S.I. = P×R×T/100

Question 1.
Find 4x × 5y × 7z
First, find 4x × 5y and multiply it by 7z;
or first, find 5y × 7z and multiply it by 4x.
Is the result the same? What do you observe?
Does the order in which you carry out the multiplication matter?
Solution:
(i) 4x × 5y × 7z = 140xyz
(ii) 4x × 5y = 20xy
20xy × 7z = 140xyz
(iii) 5y × 7z = 35yz
35yz × 4y = 140yzx
Yes, the result is the same.
It is observed that when algebraic expressions are multiplied. The change in order does not affect the result.

Question 1.
Find the product:
(4p2 + sp + 7) × 3p
Solution:
3p(4p2 + sp + 7)
= (3p × 4p2) + (3p × 5p) + (3p × 7)
= 12p3 + 15p2 + 21p

Question 1.
Put -b in place of b in identity I. Do you get identity II.
Identities
I = (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
II = (a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2
Solution:
If we put -b in place of b in identity I we get II identity
(a – b)2
= a2 + 2a(-b) + (b)2
= a2 – 2ab + b2

Question 1.
Verify Identity (IV), for a = 2, b = 3, x = 5.
Solution:
Identity (IV) = (x + a) + (x + b)
= x2 + (a + b)x + ab
If a = 2, b = 3, x = 5
(5 + 2) (5 + 3) = (5)2 + (2 + 3) × 5 + 2 × 3
(7) (8) = 25 + 5(5) + 6
56 = 25 + 25 + 6
56 = 56
Question 2.
Consider, the special case of Identity (IV) with a = b, what do you get? Is it related to Identity (I)?
Solution:
Identity (IV) = (x + a) + (x + b)
= x2 + (a + b) x + ab
If a = b
(x + b) (x + b)
= x2 + (b + b) x + b × b
= x2 + 2bx + b2
It is related to Identity I i.e.
(a + b)2 = (a + b)2 + 2ab + b2
Question 3.
Consider, the special case of Identity (IV) with a = c and b = -c. What do you get? Is it related to Identity (II)?
Solution:
Identity (IV) = (x + a) + (x + b)
= x2 + (a + b) x + ab
If a = -c and b = -c
(x – c) (x – c)
= x2 + (-c – c) x + (-c)(-c)
= x2 – 2cx + c2
It is related to Identity II i.e.
(a + b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2
Question 4.
Consider the special case of Identity (IV) with a = -c and b = -a. What do you get? Is it related to Identity (III)?
Solution:
Identity (IV) = (x + a) + (x + b)
= x2 + (a + b) x + ab
If b = -a then
(x + a) (x – a) = x2 + (a – a) x + a(-a)
= x2 – 0 + (-a2)
= x2 – a2
Yes, it is related to Identity III i.e.
(a + b) (a – b) = (a2 – b2)
