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<a2+b2(a+b)^2<a^2+b^2
Expand LHS:

(a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2(a+b)^2=a^2+2 a b+b^2
So inequality becomes:

a2+2ab+b2<a2+b2a^2+2 a b+b^2<a^2+b^2
Subtract a2+b2a^2+b^2 from both sides:

2ab<02 a b <0
ab<0a b <0
Conclusion:
aa and bb 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=a2+2ab+b2(a+b)^2=a^2+2 a b+b^2

a = 8
b = 4
(a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2(a+b)^2=a^2+2 a b+b^2
122=64+32+32+16=14412^2=64+32+32+16=144

Comparing with a2+b2a^2+b^2:

(a+b)2=a2+b2+2ab(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2 a b
So,

(a+b)2>a2+b22ab>0ab>0(a+b)^2>a^2+b^2 \Rightarrow 2 a b>0 \Rightarrow a b>0
This means:
aa and bb have the same sign (both positive or both negative)

Therefore, when aa and bb are of the same sign, (a+b)2>a2+b2(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 to be equal to a2+b2a^2+b^2:

a2+2ab+b2=a2+b2a^2+2 a b+b^2=a^2+b^2
2ab=0ab=0\Rightarrow 2 a b=0 \Rightarrow a b=0
This happens when:
a=0a=0 or b=0b=0

Therefore, (a+b)2=a2+b2(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 and a2+b2a^2+b^2 are both positive? What term will decide which is larger? Use the expansion of (a+b)2(a+b)^2 to decide.

Solution:

Both (a+b)2(a+b)^2 and a2+b2a^2+b^2 are always positive (since they are sums of squares).
Now compare them:

(a+b)2=a2+b2+2ab(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2 a b
So, the term that decides which is larger is 2ab2 a b.

  • If 2ab>02 a b>0, then (a+b)2>a2+b2(a+b)^2>a^2+b^2
  • If 2ab<02 a b<0, then (a+b)2<a2+b2(a+b)^2<a^2+b^2
  • If 2ab=02 a b=0, then (a+b)2=a2+b2(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2

Therefore, the deciding term is 2ab2 a b.


Q.5:

What if we replace bb by b-b in (a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2(a+b)^2=a^2+2 a b+b^2?

Solution:

Replace b by −b in the identity:

So,

(a+(b))2=a2+2a(b)+(b)2(a+(-b))^2=a^2+2 a(-b)+(-b)^2
=a22ab+b2=a^2-2 a b+b^2
Therefore, when we replace bb by b-b, we get a new identity:

(ab)2=a22ab+b2(a-b)^2=a^2-2 a b+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=a2+b2+c2+2ab+2bc+2ca(a+b+c)^2=a^2+b^2+c^2+2 a b+2 b c+2 c a.

Solution:


Q.7:

Try to evaluate the following using a suitable identity:

  1. 352
  2. 652
  3. 852
  4. 1052

Do you observe any interesting pattern?

Solution:

Use the identity:

(a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2(a+b)^2=a^2+2 a b+b^2

  1. 352=(30+5)2=302+2305+5235^2=(30+5)^2=30^2+2 \cdot 30 \cdot 5+5^2 =900+300+25==900+300+25= 1225
  2. 652=(60+5)2=602+2605+5265^2=(60+5)^2=60^2+2 \cdot 60 \cdot 5+5^2 =3600+600+25==3600+600+25= 4225
  3. 852=(80+5)2=802+2805+5285^2=(80+5)^2=80^2+2 \cdot 80 \cdot 5+5^2 =6400+800+25==6400+800+25= 7225
  4. 1052=(100+5)2=1002+21005+52105^2=(100+5)^2=100^2+2 \cdot 100 \cdot 5+5^2 =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.) }

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+ca+b+c
  • a+bca+b-c
  • ab+ca-b+c
  • abca-b-c

So, total area:

(a+b+c)(a+bc)(ab+c)(abc)(a+b+c)(a+b-c)(a-b+c)(a-b-c)
Second representation:
The same area is rearranged into:

  • a square of side 2a2 a \rightarrow area 4a24 a^2
  • a square of side 2b2 b \rightarrow area 4b24 b^2
  • a square of side 2c2 c \rightarrow area 4c24 c^2

So, total area:

4a24b24c2+4bc (after simplification) 4 a^2-4 b^2-4 c^2+4 b c \text { (after simplification) }
Final identity:

(a+b+c)(a+bc)(ab+c)(abc)(a+b+c)(a+b-c)(a-b+c)(a-b-c) =(a2b2c2)2(2bc)2=\left(a^2-b^2-c^2\right)^2-(2 b c)^2
=a4+b4+c42a2b22b2c22c2a2=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+bc)(ab+c)(abc)(a+b+c)(a+b-c)(a-b+c)(a-b-c) =a4+b4+c42a2b22b2c22c2a2=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 7x7 x is split as 2x+5x2 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 x2+7x+12x^2+7 x+12 :
Correct split: 7x=3x+4x7 x=3 x+4 x because 3×4=123 \times 4=12

→ forms rectangle (x+3)(x+4)(x+3)(x+4)
But if we try:
7x=2x+5x7 x=2 x+5 x

2×5=1012\rightarrow 2 \times 5=10 \neq 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, 3x+4x3 x+4 x works, but 2x+5x2 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+2x+2 and x+3x+3

Using algebra tiles:

  • x×x=x2x \times x=x^2
  • x×3=3xx \times 3=3 x
  • 2×x=2x2 \times x=2 x
  • 2×3=62 \times 3=6

Adding:

x2+3x+2x+6=x2+5x+6x^2+3 x+2 x+6=x^2+5 x+6
So,

(x+2)(x+3)=x2+5x+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:

Factorisation of x2+11x+30x^2+11 x+30 using tiles

To arrange algebra tiles into a rectangle:
Split 11x11 x into two parts such that their product is 30

11x=5x+6x and 5×6=3011 x=5 x+6 x \text { and } 5 \times 6=30
Now arrange:

  • x2x^2 tile in one corner
  • 5x5 x-tiles on one side
  • 6x6 x-tiles on the other side
  • 30 unit tiles forming a rectangle

This forms a rectangle with sides:

(x+5) and (x+6)(x+5) \text { and }(x+6)


Q.12:

James and Reshma were talking about algebraic identities they learnt in school.

James: (ab)2(a+b)=(a22ab+b2)(a+b)(a-b)^2(a+b)=\left(a^2-2 a b+b^2\right)(a+b)
Reshma: I have a different idea. (ab)2(a+b)=(ab)[(ab)(a+b)](a-b)^2(a+b)=(a-b)[(a-b)(a+b)] =(ab)(a2b2)=(a-b)\left(a^2-b^2\right)
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:

(ab)2(a+b)=(a22ab+b2)(a+b)(a-b)^2(a+b)=\left(a^2-2 a b+b^2\right)(a+b)
Then multiplies further to get the result.

Reshma’s method:
She uses identities smartly:

(ab)2(a+b)=(ab)[(ab)(a+b)](a-b)^2(a+b)=(a-b)[(a-b)(a+b)]
Now using:

(ab)(a+b)=a2b2(a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2
So,

=(ab)(a2b2)=(a-b)\left(a^2-b^2\right)
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:

(ab)2(a+b)=(ab)(a2b2)(a-b)^2(a+b)=(a-b)\left(a^2-b^2\right)
You can further expand:

=a3a2bab2+b3=a^3-a^2 b-a b^2+b^3
Insight:
Combining identities like:

  • (ab)2(a-b)^2
  • (ab)(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:

36s212st+t2t2+2ts48s2=(6st)2(________+________)(________+________)\frac{36 s^2-12 s t+t^2}{t^2+2 t s-48 s^2}=\frac{(6 s-t)^2}{(\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_+\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_)(\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_+\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_)}

Solution:

First factor both numerator and denominator.
Numerator:

36s212st+t2=(6st)236 s^2-12 s t+t^2=(6 s-t)^2
Denominator:
Factor t2+2ts48s2t^2+2 t s-48 s^2.
We need two numbers whose:

  • sum =2=2
  • product =48=-48

These are 8 and -6 .
So,

t2+2ts48s2=(t+8s)(t6s)t^2+2 t s-48 s^2=(t+8 s)(t-6 s)
Now simplify:

36s212st+t2t2+2ts48s2=(6st)2(t+8s)(t6s)\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)}
Note:

(6st)=(t6s)(6 s-t)=-(t-6 s)
So,

(6st)2=(t6s)2(6 s-t)^2=(t-6 s)^2
Cancel one common factor:

=t6st+8s=\frac{t-6 s}{t+8 s}


Q.14:

=(7x)2+2(7x)(4y)+(4y)2=49x2+56xy+16y2=(7 x)^2+2(7 x)(4 y)+(4 y)^2=49 x^2+56 x y+16 y^2

=(75x)2+2(75x)(32y)+(32y)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

(a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2(a+b)^2=a^2+2 a b+b^2

we expand (2.5p+1.5q)2(2.5 p+1.5 q)^2
=(2.5p)2+2(2.5p)(1.5q)+(1.5q)2= (2.5 p)^2+2(2.5 p)(1.5 q)+(1.5 q)^2

Solution:

Using the identity

(a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2(a+b)^2=a^2+2 a b+b^2

we expand (34s+8t)2\left(\frac{3}{4} s+8 t\right)^2
=(34s)2+2(34s)(8t)+(8t)2=\left(\frac{3}{4} s\right)^2+2\left(\frac{3}{4} s\right)(8 t)+(8 t)^2
=916s2+12st+64t2=\frac{9}{16} s^2+12 s t+64 t^2

Using the identity

(a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2(a+b)^2=a^2+2 a b+b^2

we expand (x+12y)2=x2+2(x12y)+(12y)2\left(x+\frac{1}{2 y}\right)^2 =x^2+2\left(x \cdot \frac{1}{2 y}\right)+\left(\frac{1}{2 y}\right)^2
=x2+xy+14y2=x^2+\frac{x}{y}+\frac{1}{4 y^2}

Solution:

Using the identity

(a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2(a+b)^2=a^2+2 a b+b^2

we expand (1x+1y)2\left(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}\right)^2
=(1x)2+2(1x1y)+(1y)2=\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^2+2\left(\frac{1}{x} \cdot \frac{1}{y}\right)+\left(\frac{1}{y}\right)^2
=1x2+2xy+1y2=\frac{1}{x^2}+\frac{2}{x y}+\frac{1}{y^2}

Q.45:

Is this an identity?

(a+bc)2+(ab+c)2+(abc)2(a+b-c)^2+(a-b+c)^2+(a-b-c)^2 =2a2+2b2+2c2=2 a^2+2 b^2+2 c^2.

Solution:

Let us verify by expanding the LHS.

(a+bc)2=a2+b2+c2+2ab2ac2bc(a+b-c)^2=a^2+b^2+c^2+2 a b-2 a c-2 b c
(ab+c)2=a2+b2+c22ab+2ac2bc(a-b+c)^2=a^2+b^2+c^2-2 a b+2 a c-2 b c
(abc)2=a2+b2+c22ab2ac+2bc(a-b-c)^2=a^2+b^2+c^2-2 a b-2 a c+2 b c
Adding all three:

LHS=3a2+3b2+3c2+(2ab2ab2ab){LHS}=3 a^2+3 b^2+3 c^2+(2 a b-2 a b-2 a b) +(2ac+2ac2ac)+(2bc2bc+2bc)+(-2 a c+2 a c-2 a c)+(-2 b c-2 b c+2 b c)
=3a2+3b2+3c22ab2ac2bc=3 a^2+3 b^2+3 c^2-2 a b-2 a c-2 b c
But RHS is:

2a2+2b2+2c22 a^2+2 b^2+2 c^2
Since
LHS \neq RHS
the given expression is not an identity.

3x2+3=10x3 x^2+3=10 x
Rearrange:

3x210x+3=03 x^2-10 x+3=0

Width =2x+1=2 x+1
We know:

 Area = Length × Width \text { Area }=\text { Length × Width }
So,

 Length =2x2+7x+32x+1\text { Length }=\frac{2 x^2+7 x+3}{2 x+1}
Now factorise numerator:

2x2+7x+3=(2x+1)(x+3)2 x^2+7 x+3=(2 x+1)(x+3)
Cancel common factor:

 Length =(2x+1)(x+3)2x+1=x+3\text { Length }=\frac{(2 x+1)(x+3)}{2 x+1}=x+3


Q.107:

If both x2x-2 and x12x-\frac{1}{2} are factors of px2+5x+rp x^2+5 x+r, show that p=rp=r.

Solution:

Given polynomial:

px2+5x+rp x^2+5 x+r
Since x2x-2 and x12x-\frac{1}{2} are factors, by factor theorem:

Put x=2x=2:

p(2)2+5(2)+r=04p+10+r=0p(2)^2+5(2)+r=0 \Rightarrow 4 p+10+r=0 …(1)
Put x=12x=\frac{1}{2}:

p(12)2+5(12)+r=0p\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2+5\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)+r=0
p4+52+r=0\Rightarrow \frac{p}{4}+\frac{5}{2}+r=0
Multiply by 4:

p+10+4r=0p+10+4 r=0 …(2)
Now solve (1) and (2):
From (1):

4p+r=104 p+r=-10
From (2):

p+4r=10p+4 r=-10
Multiply (2) by 4:

4p+16r=404 p+16 r=-40
Subtract (1):

(4p+16r)(4p+r)=40(10)(4 p+16 r)-(4 p+r)=-40-(-10)
15r=30r=215 r=-30 \Rightarrow r=-2


Q.108:

If a+b+c=5a+b+c=5 and ab+bc+ca=10a b+b c+c a=10, then prove that a3+b3+c33abc=25a^3+b^3+c^3-3 a b c=-25.

Solution:

Given:

a+b+c=5,ab+bc+ca=10a+b+c=5, a b+b c+c a=10
Use the identity:

a3+b3+c33abc=a^3+b^3+c^3-3 a b c= (a+b+c)(a2+b2+c2abbcca)(a+b+c)\left(a^2+b^2+c^2-a b-b c-c a\right)
First find a2+b2+c2a^2+b^2+c^2:

a2+b2+c2=(a+b+c)22(ab+bc+ca)a^2+b^2+c^2= (a+b+c)^2-2(a b+b c+c a)
=522(10)=5^2-2(10)
=2520=5=25-20=5
Now substitute:

a3+b3+c33abc=a^3+b^3+c^3-3 a b c= (a+b+c)(a2+b2+c2abbcca)(a+b+c)\left(a^2+b^2+c^2-a b-b c-c a\right)
=5(510)=5(5-10)
=5×(5)=5 \times(-5)
=25=-25
Final Result:

a3+b3+c33abc=25a^3+b^3+c^3-3 a b c=-25


Q.109:

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 n3nn^3-n is always divisible by 6.

Step 1: Factorise

n3n=n(n21)n^3-n=n\left(n^2-1\right)
=n(n1)(n+1)=n(n-1)(n+1)
Step 2: Observe the factors

n(n1)(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(n1)(n+1)n(n-1)(n+1)

is divisible by:

2×3=62 \times 3=6
n3nn^3-n is always divisible by 6 for all natural numbers nn.

x3+y312xy+64=x^3+y^3-12 x y+64= (x+y)33xy(x+y)12xy+64(x+y)^3-3 x y(x+y)-12 x y+64
Substitute x+y=4x+y=-4 :

=(4)33xy(4)12xy+64=(-4)^3-3 x y(-4)-12 x y+64
=64+12xy12xy+64=-64+12 x y-12 x y+64
=0=0


Q.111:

Find the value of x3 – 8y3 – 36xy – 216, when x = 2y + 6.

Solution:

Given x=2y+6x=2 y+6

Expression:

x38y336xy216x^3-8 y^3-36 x y-216
Use identity:

x3(2y)3=(x2y)(x2+2xy+4y2)x^3-(2 y)^3=(x-2 y)\left(x^2+2 x y+4 y^2\right)
=(x2y)(x2+2xy+4y2)36xy216= (x-2 y)\left(x^2+2 x y+4 y^2\right)-36 x y-216
Now substitute x=2y+6x=2 y+6, so:

x2y=6x-2 y=6
=6(x2+2xy+4y2)36xy216=6\left(x^2+2 x y+4 y^2\right)-36 x y-216
=6x2+12xy+24y236xy216=6 x^2+12 x y+24 y^2-36 x y-216
=6x224xy+24y2216=6 x^2-24 x y+24 y^2-216
=6(x24xy+4y2)216=6\left(x^2-4 x y+4 y^2\right)-216
=6(x2y)2216=6(x-2 y)^2-216
Since x2y=6x-2 y=6 :

=6(62)216=216216=0=6\left(6^2\right)-216=216-216=0
