Question 1. Identify the terms, their coefficients for each of the following expressions.

Need to be Known:
Expression: An Expression is the addition of terms. Example: 7y + z is an expression made up of two terms 7y and z.
Term: Terms itself is a product of factors. Example: 7y + z, here terms are 7y (term 1) and z (term2) where term 1 is the product of two factors 7 and y . and term 2 is a single factor z.
Coefficient: It is a numerical factor of the term. Example: 7y + z here term1 has a two factor 7 and y in which 7 is numerical factor hence it is a coefficient.

Question 2. Classify the following polynomials as monomials, binomials, trinomials. Which polynomials do not fit in any of these three categories?

x + y, 1000, x + x²+ x³+ x⁴, 7 + y + 5x, 2y – 3y², 2y – 3y²+ 4y³, 5x – 4y + 3xy, 4z – 15z², ab + bc + cd + da, pqr, p²q + pq², 2p + 2q

Need to be Known:
Monomial: Expression made up of one term is known as monomial. Example: pqr, z, ab etc.
Binomial: Expression made up of two terms is known as binomial. Example: 2y + 3z, 5x - 4y, etc.
Trinomial: Expression made up of three terms is known as trinomial. Example: 2y + 3z + x, 5x - 4y + a, etc.
Polynomial: Expression made up of one or more terms is known as a polynomial. Example: a + b + c + d, 3xy, 7xyz – 10, 2x + 3y + 7z, etc

Solution:

In this question:
Monomials: 1000, pqr
Binomials: x + y, 2y – 3y², 4z – 15z², p²q + pq², 2p + 2q
Trinomials: 7 + y + 5x, 2y – 3y²+ 4y³, 5x – 4y + 3xy
and those which do not fit in these categories are: x + x²+ x³+ x⁴, ab + bc + cd + da

Question 3. Add the following

Need to be Known:
Like term: Terms having the same variable with their same power.
Note**: Terms those are like can only add and subtract each other. unlike terms cannot add and subtract each other. Example: 4x and 5x are like terms as they both have the same coefficient with the same power of x as 1.
Unlike term: Terms having different variable and may have different powers.
Example: 4x and 5y are unlike terms as they both have different variables
Example: 4x² and 5x³ are unlike terms as they both terms differ in the variable power.

(i) ab – bc, bc – ca, ca – ab

Solution:

As here three expressions are given, we need to place expressions same terms below other expressions same term one by one then we will get like these:
ab - bc + 0
+ 0 + bc - ca
+ -ab + 0 + ca
_________________
0 + 0 + 0 <----------final expression
_________________
this tends to 0.

(ii) a – b + ab, b – c + bc, c – a + ac

Solution:

As here three expressions are given, we need to place expressions same terms below other expressions same term one by one then we will get like these:
a – b + ab
+ 0 + b + 0 - c + bc
+ -a + 0 + 0 + c + 0 + ac
__________________________
0 + 0 + ab + 0 + bc + ac <---- final expression
_____________________________
this tends to ab + bc + ac.

(iii) 2p²q²– 3pq + 4, 5 + 7pq – 3p²q²

Solution:

As here two expressions are given, we need to place expressions same terms below other expressions same term one by one then we will get like these:
2p²q² - 3pq + 4
+ -3p²q² + 7pq +5
__________________
-1p²q²+ 4pq + 9 <-------- final expression
____________________
this tends to -1p²q² + 4pq + 9.

(iv) l²+ m², m²+ n², n²+ l², 2lm + 2mn + 2nl

Solution:

As here four expressions are given, we need to place expressions same terms below other expressions same term one by one then we will get like these:
l² + m²
+ 0 + m² + n²
+ l² + 0 + n²
+ 0 + 0 + 0 + 2lm + 2mn + 2nl
_________________________________
2l² + 2m² + 2n²+ 2lm + 2mn + 2nl <---------final expression
___________________________________
as 2 is common among all terms then we can take it common this tends to 2( l²+ m²+ n²+ lm + mn + nl)

Question 4.

(a) Subtract 4a – 7ab + 3b + 12 from 12a – 9ab + 5b – 3

Solution:

Here we need to subtract the given expressions:
then,
12a – 9ab + 5b – 3
(-) 4a – 7ab + 3b + 12
________________________
in subtraction sign of (-) expression gets altered as:
12a – 9ab + 5b – 3
- 4a + 7ab - 3b - 12
________________________
8a - 2ab + 2b - 15 <---------final expression
__________________________
this tends to 8a - 2ab + 2b - 15 .

(b) Subtract 3xy + 5yz – 7zx from 5xy – 2yz – 2zx + 10xyz

Solution:

Here we need to subtract the given expressions:
then,
5xy – 2yz – 2zx + 10xyz
(-) 3xy + 5yz – 7zx + 0
___________________________
in subtraction sign of (-) expression gets altered as:
5xy – 2yz – 2zx + 10xyz
-3xy - 5yz + 7zx - 0
___________________________
2xy - 7yz + 5zx + 10xyz <----------- final expression
_____________________________
this tends to 2xy - 7yz + 5zx + 10xyz.

(c) Subtract 4p²q – 3pq + 5pq²– 8p + 7q – 10 from18 – 3p – 11q + 5pq – 2pq²+ 5p²q

Solution:

Here we need to subtract the given expressions:
then, 5p²q + 5pq - 2pq² - 3p - 11q + 18
(-) 4p²q – 3pq + 5pq²– 8p + 7q – 10
__________________________________
in subtraction sign of (-) expression gets altered as:
5p²q + 5pq - 2pq² - 3p - 11q + 18
-4p²q + 3pq - 5pq²+ 8p - 7q + 10
__________________________________
p²q + 8pq - 7pq²+ 5p - 18q + 28 <-----------final expression
_____________________________________
this tends to p²q + 8pq - 7pq²+ 5p - 18q + 28

Summary

Chapter 9 of NCERT Class 8 Mathematics focuses on algebraic expressions and identities. Exercise 9.1 specifically deals with the identification of monomials, binomials, and trinomials, as well as like and unlike terms. Students learn to recognize and classify different types of algebraic expressions based on the number of terms they contain. The exercise also covers the concept of coefficients and how to identify them in various terms.
