Mathematics NCERT Grade 8, Chapter 9: Algebraic Expressions and Identities - The chapters give an insight into concepts related to algebraic expressions.
  • Expressions are formed from variables and constants
Section 9.2 gives details about terms, factors, and coefficients. 
Terms like monomials, binomials, trinomials and polynomials are discussed in detail with examples.
  • Expression that contains only one term is called a monomial.
  • Expression that contains two terms is called a binomial.
  • An expression containing three terms is a trinomial.
  • An expression containing, one or more terms with non-zero coefficient (with variables having non-negative exponents) is called a polynomial. A polynomial may contain any number of terms, one or more than one​ term. 
Emphasis is given to important topics like Addition and subtraction of algebraic expressions. Like and unlike terms are discussed under section 9.4. 
  • Like terms are formed from the same variables and the powers of these variables are the same, too. Coefficients of like terms need not be the same.
The discussion moves further to the next topic-multiplication of algebraic expressions.
  • There are a number of situations in which we need to multiply algebraic expressions: for example, in finding the area of a rectangle, the sides of which are given as expressions.
This topic contains various sub-parts:
  • Multiplying a Monomial by a Monomial
    • Multiplying two monomials 
    • Multiplying three or more monomials
  • Multiplying a Monomial by a Polynomial
    • Multiplying a monomial by a binomial
    • Multiplying a monomial by a trinomial
  • Multiplying a Polynomial by a Polynomial
    • Multiplying a binomial by a binomial
    • Multiplying a binomial by a trinomial
​Ever wondered what is an identity? This chapter will clear all doubts of students relating to the same concept- Identity.
  • An identity is an equality, which is true for all values of the variables in equality. On the other hand, an equation is true only for certain values of its variables
The chapter also discusses Standard identities and also the concept of Applying Identities.
Unsolved exercises, questions in different patterns will make the chapter more comprehensible to students. 
All important points of the chapter are cited in the end under the title- What Have We Discussed?

Question 4:

Simplify.

(i) (a2b2)2 (ii) (2x +5)2 − (2x − 5)2

(iii) (7m − 8n)2 + (7m + 8n)2 (iv) (4m + 5n)2 + (5m + 4n)2

(v) (2.5p − 1.5q)2 − (1.5p − 2.5q)2

(vi) (ab + bc)2 − 2ab2c (vii) (m2n2m)2 + 2m3n2

Answer:

(i) (a2b2)2 = (a2)2 − 2(a2) (b2) + (b2)2 [(ab)2 = a2 − 2ab + b2 ]

= a4 − 2a2b2 + b4

(ii) (2x +5)2 − (2x − 5)2 = (2x)2 + 2(2x) (5) + (5)2 − [(2x)2 − 2(2x) (5) + (5)2]

[(ab)2 = a2 − 2ab + b2]

[(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2]

= 4x2 + 20x + 25 − [4x2 − 20x + 25]

= 4x2 + 20x + 25 − 4x2 + 20x − 25 = 40x

(iii) (7m − 8n)2 + (7m + 8n)2

= (7m)2 − 2(7m) (8n) + (8n)2 + (7m)2 + 2(7m) (8n) + (8n)2

[(ab)2 = a2 − 2ab + b2 and (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2]

= 49m2 − 112mn + 64n2 + 49m2 + 112mn + 64n2

= 98m2 + 128n2

(iv) (4m + 5n)2 + (5m + 4n)2

= (4m)2 + 2(4m) (5n) + (5n)2 + (5m)2 + 2(5m) (4n) + (4n)2

[ (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2]

= 16m2 + 40mn + 25n2 + 25m2 + 40mn + 16n2

= 41m2 + 80mn + 41n2

(v) (2.5p − 1.5q)2 − (1.5p − 2.5q)2

= (2.5p)2 − 2(2.5p) (1.5q) + (1.5q)2 − [(1.5p)2 − 2(1.5p)(2.5q) + (2.5q)2]

[(ab)2 = a2 − 2ab + b2 ]

= 6.25p2 − 7.5pq + 2.25q2 − [2.25p2 − 7.5pq + 6.25q2]

= 6.25p2 − 7.5pq + 2.25q2 − 2.25p2 + 7.5pq − 6.25q2]

= 4p2 − 4q2

(vi) (ab + bc)2 − 2ab2c

= (ab)2 + 2(ab)(bc) + (bc)2 − 2ab2c [(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2 ]

= a2b2 + 2ab2c + b2c2 − 2ab2c

= a2b2 + b2c2

(vii) (m2n2m)2 + 2m3n2

= (m2)2 − 2(m2) (n2m) + (n2m)2 + 2m3n2 [(ab)2 = a2 − 2ab + b2 ]

= m4 − 2m3n2 + n4m2 + 2m3n2

= m4 + n4m2

Question 5:

Show that

(i) (3x + 7)2 − 84x = (3x − 7)2 (ii) (9p − 5q)2 + 180pq = (9p + 5q)2

(iii)

(iv) (4pq + 3q)2 − (4pq − 3q)2 = 48pq2

(v) (ab) (a + b) + (bc) (b + c) + (ca) (c + a) = 0

Answer:

(i) L.H.S = (3x + 7)2 − 84x

= (3x)2 + 2(3x)(7) + (7)2 − 84x

= 9x2 + 42x + 49 − 84x

= 9x2 − 42x + 49

R.H.S = (3x − 7)2 = (3x)2 − 2(3x)(7) +(7)2

= 9x2 − 42x + 49

L.H.S = R.H.S

(ii) L.H.S = (9p − 5q)2 + 180pq

= (9p)2 − 2(9p)(5q) + (5q)2 − 180pq

= 81p2 − 90pq + 25q2 + 180pq

= 81p2 + 90pq + 25q2

R.H.S = (9p + 5q)2

= (9p)2 + 2(9p)(5q) + (5q)2

= 81p2 + 90pq + 25q2

L.H.S = R.H.S

(iii) L.H.S =

(iv) L.H.S = (4pq + 3q)2 − (4pq − 3q)2

= (4pq)2 + 2(4pq)(3q) + (3q)2 − [(4pq)2 − 2(4pq) (3q) + (3q)2]

= 16p2q2 + 24pq2 + 9q2 − [16p2q2 − 24pq2 + 9q2]

= 16p2q2 + 24pq2 + 9q2 −16p2q2 + 24pq2 − 9q2

= 48pq2 = R.H.S

(v) L.H.S = (ab) (a + b) + (bc) (b + c) + (ca) (c + a)

= (a2b2) + (b2c2) + (c2a2) = 0 = R.H.S.

Question 6:

Using identities, evaluate.

(i) 712 (ii) 992 (iii) 1022 (iv) 9982

(v) (5.2)2 (vi) 297 × 303 (vii) 78 × 82

(viii) 8.92 (ix) 1.05 × 9.5

Answer:

(i) 712 = (70 + 1)2

= (70)2 + 2(70) (1) + (1)2 [(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2 ]

= 4900 + 140 + 1 = 5041

(ii) 992 = (100 − 1)2

= (100)2 − 2(100) (1) + (1)2 [(ab)2 = a2 − 2ab + b2 ]

= 10000 − 200 + 1 = 9801

(iii) 1022 = (100 + 2)2

= (100)2 + 2(100)(2) + (2)2 [(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2 ]

= 10000 + 400 + 4 = 10404

(iv) 9982 = (1000 − 2)2

= (1000)2 − 2(1000)(2) + (2)2 [(ab)2 = a2 − 2ab + b2 ]

= 1000000 − 4000 + 4 = 996004

(v) (5.2)2 = (5.0 + 0.2)2

= (5.0)2 + 2(5.0) (0.2) + (0.2)2 [(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2 ]

= 25 + 2 + 0.04 = 27.04

(vi) 297 × 303 = (300 − 3) × (300 + 3)

= (300)2 − (3)2 [(a + b) (ab) = a2b2]

= 90000 − 9 = 89991

(vii) 78 × 82 = (80 − 2) (80 + 2)

= (80)2 − (2)2 [(a + b) (ab) = a2b2]

= 6400 − 4 = 6396

(viii) 8.92 = (9.0 − 0.1)2

= (9.0)2 − 2(9.0) (0.1) + (0.1)2 [(ab)2 = a2 − 2ab + b2 ]

= 81 − 1.8 + 0.01 = 79.21

(ix) 1.05 × 9.5 = 1.05 × 0.95 × 10

= (1 + 0.05) (1− 0.05) ×10

= [(1)2 − (0.05)2] × 10

= [1 − 0.0025] × 10 [(a + b) (ab) = a2b2]

= 0.9975 × 10 = 9.975

Question 7:

Using a2 b2 = (a + b) (ab), find

(i) 512 − 492 (ii) (1.02)2 − (0.98)2 (iii) 1532 − 1472

(iv) 12.12 − 7.92

Answer:

(i) 512 − 492 = (51 + 49) (51 − 49)

= (100) (2) = 200

(ii) (1.02)2 − (0.98)2 = (1.02 + 0.98) (1.02 ­− 0.98)

= (2) (0.04) = 0.08

(iii) 1532 − 1472 = (153 + 147) (153 − 147)

= (300) (6) = 1800

(iv) 12.12 − 7.92 = (12.1 + 7.9) (12.1 − 7.9)

= (20.0) (4.2) = 84

Question 8:

Using (x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a + b) x + ab, find

(i) 103 × 104 (ii) 5.1 × 5.2 (iii) 103 × 98 (iv) 9.7 × 9.8

Answer:

(i) 103 × 104 = (100 + 3) (100 + 4)

= (100)2 + (3 + 4) (100) + (3) (4)

= 10000 + 700 + 12 = 10712

(ii) 5.1 × 5.2 = (5 + 0.1) (5 + 0.2)

= (5)2 + (0.1 + 0.2) (5) + (0.1) (0.2)

= 25 + 1.5 + 0.02 = 26.52

(iii) 103 × 98 = (100 + 3) (100 − 2)

= (100)2 + [3 + (− 2)] (100) + (3) (− 2)

= 10000 + 100 − 6

= 10094

(iv) 9.7 × 9.8 = (10 − 0.3) (10 − 0.2)

= (10)2 + [(− 0.3) + (− 0.2)] (10) + (− 0.3) (− 0.2)

= 100 + (− 0.5)10 + 0.06 = 100.06 − 5 = 95.06
