Chapter 8 - Algebraic Expressions and Identities

Algebraic expression is the expression having constants and variable. It can have multiple variable and

i
multiple power of the variable

rth
Example

11x
2y – 3
2x + y

Some Important points on Algebraic expressions


Terms Description
Terms Terms are added to form expressions
Factors

Coefficient

Monomial
ya Terms themselves can be formed as the
product of factors
The numerical factor of a term is called its
numerical coefficient or simply coefficient
Algebraic expression having one terms is
called monomials
Example

3x
id
Binomial Algebraic expression having two terms is
called Binomial

Example

3x+y
eV

Trinomial Algebraic expression having three terms is


called Trinomial

Example

3x+y+z

Polynomial An expression containing, one or more terms
with non-zero coefficient (with variables having
non negative exponents) is called a polynomial

Like Terms When the variable part of the terms is same,


they are called like terms

i
Unlike Terms When the variable part of the terms is not
same, they are called unlike terms

Operation on Algebraic Expressions
S.no Operation Descriptions

1 Addition 1) We write each expression to be added in a separate


row. While doing so we write like terms one below the
other
Or
ya We add the expression together on the same line and
arrange the like term together
2) Add the like terms

3) Write the Final algebraic expression

2 Subtraction 1) We write each expression to be subtracted in a


separate row. While doing so we write like terms one
below the other and then we change the sign of the
id
expression which is to be subtracted i.e. + becomes –
and – becomes +
Or
We subtract the expression together on the same line,
change the sign of all the term which is to be subtracted
and then arrange the like term together
2) Add the like terms
eV

3) Write the Final algebraic expression

3 Multiplication 1) We have to use distributive law and distribute each
term of the first polynomial to every term of the second
polynomial.

2) when you multiply two terms together you must


multiply the coefficient (numbers) and add the exponents

3) Also as we already know ++ equals =, +- or -+ equals

i
- and -- equals +

rth
4) group like terms

What is an Identity
An identity is an equality, which is true for all values of the variables in the equality.

(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
(a - b)2 = a2 - 2ab + b2
(a + b) (a – b) = a2– b2
ya
(x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a + b) x + ab
