NCERT Solutions Class 9 Exploring Algebraic Identities – NCERT Solutions Q.1:
What can you say about a and b if (a + b)2 < a2 + b2 ?
Solution:
Given:
( a + b ) 2 < a 2 + b 2 (a+b)^2<a^2+b^2 ( a + b ) 2 < a 2 + b 2 Expand LHS:
( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + 2 a b + b 2 (a+b)^2=a^2+2 a b+b^2 ( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + 2 ab + b 2 So inequality becomes:
a 2 + 2 a b + b 2 < a 2 + b 2 a^2+2 a b+b^2<a^2+b^2 a 2 + 2 ab + b 2 < a 2 + b 2 Subtract a 2 + b 2 a^2+b^2 a 2 + b 2 from both sides:
2 a b < 0 2 a b <0 2 ab < 0 a b < 0 a b <0 ab < 0 Conclusion:a a a and b b b have opposite signs (one is positive and the other is negative)
Q.2:
What can you say about a and b if (a + b)2 > a2 + b2 ?
Solution:
( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + 2 a b + b 2 (a+b)^2=a^2+2 a b+b^2 ( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + 2 ab + b 2
a = 8 b = 4( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + 2 a b + b 2 (a+b)^2=a^2+2 a b+b^2 ( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + 2 ab + b 2 12 2 = 64 + 32 + 32 + 16 = 144 12^2=64+32+32+16=144 1 2 2 = 64 + 32 + 32 + 16 = 144 Comparing with a 2 + b 2 a^2+b^2 a 2 + b 2 :
( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + b 2 + 2 a b (a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2 a b ( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + b 2 + 2 ab So,
( a + b ) 2 > a 2 + b 2 ⇒ 2 a b > 0 ⇒ a b > 0 (a+b)^2>a^2+b^2 \Rightarrow 2 a b>0 \Rightarrow a b>0 ( a + b ) 2 > a 2 + b 2 ⇒ 2 ab > 0 ⇒ ab > 0 This means:a a a and b b b have the same sign (both positive or both negative)
Therefore, when a a a and b b b are of the same sign, ( a + b ) 2 > a 2 + b 2 (a+b)^2>a^2+b^2 ( a + b ) 2 > a 2 + b 2 .
Q.3:
When will (a + b)2 be equal to a2 + b2 ?
Solution:
For ( a + b ) 2 (a+b)^2 ( a + b ) 2 to be equal to a 2 + b 2 a^2+b^2 a 2 + b 2 :
a 2 + 2 a b + b 2 = a 2 + b 2 a^2+2 a b+b^2=a^2+b^2 a 2 + 2 ab + b 2 = a 2 + b 2 ⇒ 2 a b = 0 ⇒ a b = 0 \Rightarrow 2 a b=0 \Rightarrow a b=0 ⇒ 2 ab = 0 ⇒ ab = 0 This happens when:a = 0 a=0 a = 0 or b = 0 b=0 b = 0
Therefore, ( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + b 2 (a+b)^2=a^2+b^2 ( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + b 2 when one of the numbers is zero.
Q.4:
Did you observe that ( a + b ) 2 (a+b)^2 ( a + b ) 2 and a 2 + b 2 a^2+b^2 a 2 + b 2 are both positive? What term will decide which is larger? Use the expansion of ( a + b ) 2 (a+b)^2 ( a + b ) 2 to decide.
Solution:
Both ( a + b ) 2 (a+b)^2 ( a + b ) 2 and a 2 + b 2 a^2+b^2 a 2 + b 2 are always positive (since they are sums of squares). Now compare them:
( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + b 2 + 2 a b (a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2 a b ( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + b 2 + 2 ab So, the term that decides which is larger is 2 a b 2 a b 2 ab .
If 2 a b > 0 2 a b>0 2 ab > 0 , then ( a + b ) 2 > a 2 + b 2 (a+b)^2>a^2+b^2 ( a + b ) 2 > a 2 + b 2 If 2 a b < 0 2 a b<0 2 ab < 0 , then ( a + b ) 2 < a 2 + b 2 (a+b)^2<a^2+b^2 ( a + b ) 2 < a 2 + b 2 If 2 a b = 0 2 a b=0 2 ab = 0 , then ( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + b 2 (a+b)^2=a^2+b^2 ( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + b 2 Therefore, the deciding term is 2 a b 2 a b 2 ab .
Q.5:
What if we replace b b b by − b -b − b in ( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + 2 a b + b 2 (a+b)^2=a^2+2 a b+b^2 ( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + 2 ab + b 2 ?
Solution:
Replace b by −b in the identity:
So,
( a + ( − b ) ) 2 = a 2 + 2 a ( − b ) + ( − b ) 2 (a+(-b))^2=a^2+2 a(-b)+(-b)^2 ( a + ( − b ) ) 2 = a 2 + 2 a ( − b ) + ( − b ) 2 = a 2 − 2 a b + b 2 =a^2-2 a b+b^2 = a 2 − 2 ab + b 2 Therefore, when we replace b b b by − b -b − b , we get a new identity:
( a − b ) 2 = a 2 − 2 a b + b 2 (a-b)^2=a^2-2 a b+b^2 ( a − b ) 2 = a 2 − 2 ab + b 2 This is the identity for the square of a difference.
Q.6:
Label the squares and rectangles in Fig. 4.4 so that it represents the identity ( a + b + c ) 2 = a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + 2 a b + 2 b c + 2 c a (a+b+c)^2=a^2+b^2+c^2+2 a b+2 b c+2 c a ( a + b + c ) 2 = a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + 2 ab + 2 b c + 2 c a .
Solution:
Q.7:
Try to evaluate the following using a suitable identity:
352 652 852 1052 Do you observe any interesting pattern?
Solution:
Use the identity:
( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + 2 a b + b 2 (a+b)^2=a^2+2 a b+b^2 ( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + 2 ab + b 2
35 2 = ( 30 + 5 ) 2 = 30 2 + 2 ⋅ 30 ⋅ 5 + 5 2 35^2=(30+5)^2=30^2+2 \cdot 30 \cdot 5+5^2 3 5 2 = ( 30 + 5 ) 2 = 3 0 2 + 2 ⋅ 30 ⋅ 5 + 5 2 = 900 + 300 + 25 = =900+300+25= = 900 + 300 + 25 = 122565 2 = ( 60 + 5 ) 2 = 60 2 + 2 ⋅ 60 ⋅ 5 + 5 2 65^2=(60+5)^2=60^2+2 \cdot 60 \cdot 5+5^2 6 5 2 = ( 60 + 5 ) 2 = 6 0 2 + 2 ⋅ 60 ⋅ 5 + 5 2 = 3600 + 600 + 25 = =3600+600+25= = 3600 + 600 + 25 = 422585 2 = ( 80 + 5 ) 2 = 80 2 + 2 ⋅ 80 ⋅ 5 + 5 2 85^2=(80+5)^2=80^2+2 \cdot 80 \cdot 5+5^2 8 5 2 = ( 80 + 5 ) 2 = 8 0 2 + 2 ⋅ 80 ⋅ 5 + 5 2 = 6400 + 800 + 25 = =6400+800+25= = 6400 + 800 + 25 = 7225105 2 = ( 100 + 5 ) 2 = 100 2 + 2 ⋅ 100 ⋅ 5 + 5 2 105^2=(100+5)^2=100^2+2 \cdot 100 \cdot 5+5^2 10 5 2 = ( 100 + 5 ) 2 = 10 0 2 + 2 ⋅ 100 ⋅ 5 + 5 2 = 10000 + 1000 + 25 = 11025 =10000+ 1000+25=11025 = 10000 + 1000 + 25 = 11025 Interesting pattern:
All numbers end with 5 Their squares always end with 25 The remaining digits come from multiplying the number before 5 with its next number (e.g., 3 × 4 = 12 , 6 × 7 = 42 , etc.) \text { (e.g., } 3 \times 4=12,6 \times 7=42 \text {, etc.) } (e.g., 3 × 4 = 12 , 6 × 7 = 42 , etc.) So, numbers ending in 5 follow a special squaring pattern.
Q.8:
Observe the two rows of figures below. They represent an algebraic identity. Try to identify it.
Solution:
From the figure, the same area is represented in two different ways. First representation: The shapes correspond to squares with sides:
a + b + c a+b+c a + b + c a + b − c a+b-c a + b − c a − b + c a-b+c a − b + c a − b − c a-b-c a − b − c So, total area:
( a + b + c ) ( a + b − c ) ( a − b + c ) ( a − b − c ) (a+b+c)(a+b-c)(a-b+c)(a-b-c) ( a + b + c ) ( a + b − c ) ( a − b + c ) ( a − b − c ) Second representation: The same area is rearranged into:
a square of side 2 a → 2 a \rightarrow 2 a → area 4 a 2 4 a^2 4 a 2 a square of side 2 b → 2 b \rightarrow 2 b → area 4 b 2 4 b^2 4 b 2 a square of side 2 c → 2 c \rightarrow 2 c → area 4 c 2 4 c^2 4 c 2 So, total area:
4 a 2 − 4 b 2 − 4 c 2 + 4 b c (after simplification) 4 a^2-4 b^2-4 c^2+4 b c \text { (after simplification) } 4 a 2 − 4 b 2 − 4 c 2 + 4 b c (after simplification) Final identity:
( a + b + c ) ( a + b − c ) ( a − b + c ) ( a − b − c ) (a+b+c)(a+b-c)(a-b+c)(a-b-c) ( a + b + c ) ( a + b − c ) ( a − b + c ) ( a − b − c ) = ( a 2 − b 2 − c 2 ) 2 − ( 2 b c ) 2 =\left(a^2-b^2-c^2\right)^2-(2 b c)^2 = ( a 2 − b 2 − c 2 ) 2 − ( 2 b c ) 2 = a 4 + b 4 + c 4 − 2 a 2 b 2 − 2 b 2 c 2 − 2 c 2 a 2 =a^4+b^4+c^4-2 a^2 b^2-2 b^2 c^2-2 c^2 a^2 = a 4 + b 4 + c 4 − 2 a 2 b 2 − 2 b 2 c 2 − 2 c 2 a 2 Required identity:
( a + b + c ) ( a + b − c ) ( a − b + c ) ( a − b − c ) (a+b+c)(a+b-c)(a-b+c)(a-b-c) ( a + b + c ) ( a + b − c ) ( a − b + c ) ( a − b − c ) = a 4 + b 4 + c 4 − 2 a 2 b 2 − 2 b 2 c 2 − 2 c 2 a 2 =a^4+b^4+c^4-2 a^2 b^2-2 b^2 c^2-2 c^2 a^2 = a 4 + b 4 + c 4 − 2 a 2 b 2 − 2 b 2 c 2 − 2 c 2 a 2
Q.9:
Suppose 7x is split as 2x + 5x; can a similar rectangular arrangement be formed? Consider other possibilities and check.
Solution:
No, a similar rectangular arrangement cannot be formed if 7 x 7 x 7 x is split as 2 x + 5 x 2 x+5 x 2 x + 5 x . In algebra tiles (as shown in your chapter), to form a rectangle:
The split must allow tiles to arrange into equal rows and columns The numbers should correspond to factors of the constant term For x 2 + 7 x + 12 x^2+7 x+12 x 2 + 7 x + 12 : Correct split: 7 x = 3 x + 4 x 7 x=3 x+4 x 7 x = 3 x + 4 x because 3 × 4 = 12 3 \times 4=12 3 × 4 = 12
→ forms rectangle ( x + 3 ) ( x + 4 ) (x+3)(x+4) ( x + 3 ) ( x + 4 ) But if we try:7 x = 2 x + 5 x 7 x=2 x+5 x 7 x = 2 x + 5 x
→ 2 × 5 = 10 ≠ 12 \rightarrow 2 \times 5=10 \neq 12 → 2 × 5 = 10 = 12 So tiles cannot form a complete rectangle. A rectangular arrangement is possible only when the split numbers multiply to the constant term (12). Thus, 3 x + 4 x 3 x+4 x 3 x + 4 x works, but 2 x + 5 x 2 x+5 x 2 x + 5 x does not.
Q.10:
Algebra tiles can be used to represent products and find factors. Figure out the product of x + 2 and x + 3 using algebra tiles.
Solution:
Product of x + 2 x+2 x + 2 and x + 3 x+3 x + 3
Using algebra tiles:
x × x = x 2 x \times x=x^2 x × x = x 2 x × 3 = 3 x x \times 3=3 x x × 3 = 3 x 2 × x = 2 x 2 \times x=2 x 2 × x = 2 x 2 × 3 = 6 2 \times 3=6 2 × 3 = 6 Adding:
x 2 + 3 x + 2 x + 6 = x 2 + 5 x + 6 x^2+3 x+2 x+6=x^2+5 x+6 x 2 + 3 x + 2 x + 6 = x 2 + 5 x + 6 So,
( x + 2 ) ( x + 3 ) = x 2 + 5 x + 6 (x+2)(x+3)=x^2+5 x+6 ( x + 2 ) ( x + 3 ) = x 2 + 5 x + 6
Q.11:
Algebra tiles can be used to represent products and find factors. Lay out algebra tiles for x2 + 11x + 30 in such a way that you will see its factors.
Solution:

To arrange algebra tiles into a rectangle: Split 11 x 11 x 11 x into two parts such that their product is 30
11 x = 5 x + 6 x and 5 × 6 = 30 11 x=5 x+6 x \text { and } 5 \times 6=30 11 x = 5 x + 6 x and 5 × 6 = 30 Now arrange:
x 2 x^2 x 2 tile in one corner5 x 5 x 5 x -tiles on one side6 x 6 x 6 x -tiles on the other side30 unit tiles forming a rectangle This forms a rectangle with sides:
( x + 5 ) and ( x + 6 ) (x+5) \text { and }(x+6) ( x + 5 ) and ( x + 6 )
Q.12:
James and Reshma were talking about algebraic identities they learnt in school.
James: ( a − b ) 2 ( a + b ) = ( a 2 − 2 a b + b 2 ) ( a + b ) (a-b)^2(a+b)=\left(a^2-2 a b+b^2\right)(a+b) ( a − b ) 2 ( a + b ) = ( a 2 − 2 ab + b 2 ) ( a + b ) Reshma: I have a different idea. ( a − b ) 2 ( a + b ) = ( a − b ) [ ( a − b ) ( a + b ) ] (a-b)^2(a+b)=(a-b)[(a-b)(a+b)] ( a − b ) 2 ( a + b ) = ( a − b ) [( a − b ) ( a + b )] = ( a − b ) ( a 2 − b 2 ) =(a-b)\left(a^2-b^2\right) = ( a − b ) ( a 2 − b 2 ) I will find this product to get the answer. According to you, who is correct and why? Try to combine more such identities and find new results.
Solution:
James’s method: He expands step by step:
( a − b ) 2 ( a + b ) = ( a 2 − 2 a b + b 2 ) ( a + b ) (a-b)^2(a+b)=\left(a^2-2 a b+b^2\right)(a+b) ( a − b ) 2 ( a + b ) = ( a 2 − 2 ab + b 2 ) ( a + b ) Then multiplies further to get the result.
Reshma’s method: She uses identities smartly:
( a − b ) 2 ( a + b ) = ( a − b ) [ ( a − b ) ( a + b ) ] (a-b)^2(a+b)=(a-b)[(a-b)(a+b)] ( a − b ) 2 ( a + b ) = ( a − b ) [( a − b ) ( a + b )] Now using:
( a − b ) ( a + b ) = a 2 − b 2 (a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2 ( a − b ) ( a + b ) = a 2 − b 2 So,
= ( a − b ) ( a 2 − b 2 ) =(a-b)\left(a^2-b^2\right) = ( a − b ) ( a 2 − b 2 ) This method is shorter and more efficient.
Conclusion:
Both methods give the same final result Reshma’s method is better because it uses identities cleverly and reduces steps New identity formed: Using Reshma’s idea:
( a − b ) 2 ( a + b ) = ( a − b ) ( a 2 − b 2 ) (a-b)^2(a+b)=(a-b)\left(a^2-b^2\right) ( a − b ) 2 ( a + b ) = ( a − b ) ( a 2 − b 2 ) You can further expand:
= a 3 − a 2 b − a b 2 + b 3 =a^3-a^2 b-a b^2+b^3 = a 3 − a 2 b − a b 2 + b 3 Insight: Combining identities like:
( a − b ) 2 (a-b)^2 ( a − b ) 2 ( a − b ) ( a + b ) (a-b)(a+b) ( a − b ) ( a + b ) helps create new identities and faster methods for solving problems.
Q.13:
Try to simplify the following rational expression:
36 s 2 − 12 s t + t 2 t 2 + 2 t s − 48 s 2 = ( 6 s − t ) 2 ( _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ + _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ) ( _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ + _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ) \frac{36 s^2-12 s t+t^2}{t^2+2 t s-48 s^2}=\frac{(6 s-t)^2}{(\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_+\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_)(\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_+\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_)} t 2 + 2 t s − 48 s 2 36 s 2 − 12 s t + t 2 = ( ________ + ________ ) ( ________ + ________ ) ( 6 s − t ) 2
Solution:
First factor both numerator and denominator. Numerator:
36 s 2 − 12 s t + t 2 = ( 6 s − t ) 2 36 s^2-12 s t+t^2=(6 s-t)^2 36 s 2 − 12 s t + t 2 = ( 6 s − t ) 2 Denominator: Factor t 2 + 2 t s − 48 s 2 t^2+2 t s-48 s^2 t 2 + 2 t s − 48 s 2 . We need two numbers whose:
sum = 2 =2 = 2 product = − 48 =-48 = − 48 These are 8 and -6 . So,
t 2 + 2 t s − 48 s 2 = ( t + 8 s ) ( t − 6 s ) t^2+2 t s-48 s^2=(t+8 s)(t-6 s) t 2 + 2 t s − 48 s 2 = ( t + 8 s ) ( t − 6 s ) Now simplify:
36 s 2 − 12 s t + t 2 t 2 + 2 t s − 48 s 2 = ( 6 s − t ) 2 ( t + 8 s ) ( t − 6 s ) \frac{36 s^2-12 s t+t^2}{t^2+2 t s-48 s^2}=\frac{(6 s-t)^2}{(t+8 s)(t-6 s)} t 2 + 2 t s − 48 s 2 36 s 2 − 12 s t + t 2 = ( t + 8 s ) ( t − 6 s ) ( 6 s − t ) 2 Note:
( 6 s − t ) = − ( t − 6 s ) (6 s-t)=-(t-6 s) ( 6 s − t ) = − ( t − 6 s ) So,
( 6 s − t ) 2 = ( t − 6 s ) 2 (6 s-t)^2=(t-6 s)^2 ( 6 s − t ) 2 = ( t − 6 s ) 2 Cancel one common factor:
= t − 6 s t + 8 s =\frac{t-6 s}{t+8 s} = t + 8 s t − 6 s
Q.14:

Solution:
Using the identity
( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + 2 a b + b 2 (a+b)^2=a^2+2 a b+b^2 ( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + 2 ab + b 2
we expand ( 7 x + 4 y ) 2 (7 x+4 y)^2 ( 7 x + 4 y ) 2
Here a = 7 x , b = 4 y a=7 x, b=4 y a = 7 x , b = 4 y
= ( 7 x ) 2 + 2 ( 7 x ) ( 4 y ) + ( 4 y ) 2 = 49 x 2 + 56 x y + 16 y 2 =(7 x)^2+2(7 x)(4 y)+(4 y)^2=49 x^2+56 x y+16 y^2 = ( 7 x ) 2 + 2 ( 7 x ) ( 4 y ) + ( 4 y ) 2 = 49 x 2 + 56 x y + 16 y 2
Q.15:

Solution:
Using the identity
( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + 2 a b + b 2 (a+b)^2=a^2+2 a b+b^2 ( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + 2 ab + b 2
we expand ( 7 5 x + 3 2 y ) 2 \left(\frac{7}{5} x+\frac{3}{2} y\right)^2 ( 5 7 x + 2 3 y ) 2
= ( 7 5 x ) 2 + 2 ( 7 5 x ) ( 3 2 y ) + ( 3 2 y ) 2 =\left(\frac{7}{5} x\right)^2+2\left(\frac{7}{5} x\right)\left(\frac{3}{2} y\right)+\left(\frac{3}{2} y\right)^2 = ( 5 7 x ) 2 + 2 ( 5 7 x ) ( 2 3 y ) + ( 2 3 y ) 2 = 49 25 x 2 + 21 5 x y + 9 4 y 2 =\frac{49}{25} x^2+\frac{21}{5} x y+\frac{9}{4} y^2 = 25 49 x 2 + 5 21 x y + 4 9 y 2
Q.16:

Solution:
Using the identity
( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + 2 a b + b 2 (a+b)^2=a^2+2 a b+b^2 ( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + 2 ab + b 2
we expand ( 2.5 p + 1.5 q ) 2 (2.5 p+1.5 q)^2 ( 2.5 p + 1.5 q ) 2 = ( 2.5 p ) 2 + 2 ( 2.5 p ) ( 1.5 q ) + ( 1.5 q ) 2 = (2.5 p)^2+2(2.5 p)(1.5 q)+(1.5 q)^2 = ( 2.5 p ) 2 + 2 ( 2.5 p ) ( 1.5 q ) + ( 1.5 q ) 2 = 6.25 p 2 + 7.5 p q + 2.25 q 2 =6.25 p^2+7.5 p q+2.25 q^2 = 6.25 p 2 + 7.5 pq + 2.25 q 2
Q.17:
Using the identity ( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + 2 a b + b 2 (a+b)^2=a^2+2 a b+b^2 ( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + 2 ab + b 2 , expand ( 3 4 s + 8 t ) 2 \left(\frac{3}{4} s+8 t\right)^2 ( 4 3 s + 8 t ) 2 .
Solution:
Using the identity
( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + 2 a b + b 2 (a+b)^2=a^2+2 a b+b^2 ( a + b ) 2 = a 2 + 2 ab + b 2

By factoring the expression, check that n3 – n is always divisible by 6 for all natural numbers n. Give reasons.
Solution:
We need to check whether n 3 − n n^3-n n 3 − n is always divisible by 6.
Step 1: Factorise
n 3 − n = n ( n 2 − 1 ) n^3-n=n\left(n^2-1\right) n 3 − n = n ( n 2 − 1 ) = n ( n − 1 ) ( n + 1 ) =n(n-1)(n+1) = n ( n − 1 ) ( n + 1 ) Step 2: Observe the factors
n ( n − 1 ) ( n + 1 ) n(n-1)(n+1) n ( n − 1 ) ( n + 1 )
are three consecutive natural numbers.
Step 3: Use number properties Among any three consecutive numbers:
One number is always divisible by 2 (even number) One number is always divisible by 3 Step 4: Conclusion So the product:
n ( n − 1 ) ( n + 1 ) n(n-1)(n+1) n ( n − 1 ) ( n + 1 )
is divisible by:
2 × 3 = 6 2 \times 3=6 2 × 3 = 6 n 3 − n n^3-n n 3 − n is always divisible by 6 for all natural numbers n n n .
