Class 8 - Maths - Algebraic Expressions and Identities (NCERT Ex 9.2 Answers)

Algebraic Expressions and Identities 

(NCERT Ex 9.2 Answers)

Q1: Find the product of following pair of monomials.

(i) 4 , 7p

Answer:

4   ☓   7p = 4  ☓ 7   ☓ p = 28p

(ii) -4p , 7p

Answer:

-4p   ☓   7p = -4 ☓ p ☓ 7  ☓ p = (-4☓7)☓ (p☓ p) = -28p²

(iii) 4p , 7pq

Answer:

-4p  &#9747 7p = -4 ☓ p ☓7  ☓ p  ☓ q = (-4☓ 7)☓ (p☓ p☓ q) = -28p²q

(iv) 4p³ , -3p

Answer:

4p³  ☓  -3p = 4  ☓(-3)   ☓ p ☓ p☓ p☓ p = -12p⁴

(v) 4p , 0

Answer:

4p ☓ 0 = 4☓ p☓ 0 = 0


Q2: Find the areas of rectangles with the following pairs of monomials as their lengths
and breadths respectively.

(p , q);(10m , 5n);(20x² , 5y²);(4x , 3x²);(3mn ,4np)

Answer:

We know that,

Area of rectangle = Length ☓ Breadth

Area of 1^st rectangle = p ☓ q = pq

Area of 2^nd rectangle = 10m ☓ 5n = 10☓ 5 ☓ m ☓ n = 50mn

Area of 3^rd rectangle = 20x² ☓ 5y² = 20☓ 5 ☓ x² ☓ y² = 100x²y²

Area of 4^th rectangle = 4x ☓ 3x² = 4☓3 ☓ x ☓ x² = 12x³

Area of 5^th rectangle = 3mn ☓4np = 3☓ 4 ☓ m ☓ n ☓ n ☓ p = 12mn²p


Q3: Complete the table of products.
