Exercise - 8.1

1. Add the following:

(i) ${\text{ab - bc,bc - ca,ca - ab}}$

Ans:  

${\text{    12a - 9ab + 5b - 3}} $

Therefore, the sum of the given expressions is o.

(ii) ${\text{a - b + ab,b - c + bc,c - a + ac}}$

Ans: 

$  {\text{          }}a - b + ab $

$  {\text{             }} + b{\text{       }} - c + bc $

$  \overline {{\text{                  ab           + bc + ac}}}  $

Thus the sum of given expressions is ${\text{ab + bc + ac}}$

$  {\text{Third expression  =  r }}\left( {{\text{r  -  p}}} \right){\text{  =  }}{{\text{r}}^2}{\text{  -  pr}} $

Adding the three expressions, we obtain

$  {\text{ +                    -  2yx  + 2yz -  2}}{{\text{y}}^{\text{2}}}{\text{  }} $

$  \overline {\,\,{\text{   2xz  -  2}}{{\text{x}}^{\text{2}}}{\text{ - 4xy    + 2yz  - 2}}{{\text{y}}^{\text{2}}}}  $

Therefore, the sum is ${\text{2xz  -  2}}{{\text{x}}^{\text{2}}}{\text{ - 4xy  + 2yz  - 2}}{{\text{y}}^{\text{2}}}$

(iii) Subtract ${\text{3l }}\left( {{\text{l  -  4m  +  5n}}} \right){\text{ from 4l }}\left( {{\text{10n  -  3m  +  2l}}} \right){\text{ }}$

$  {\text{4l }}\left( {{\text{10n  -  3m  +  2l}}} \right){\text{  =  40ln  -  12lm  +  8}}{{\text{l}}^{\text{2}}}{\text{ }} $

Subtracting these expressions, we obtain

$  {\text{   8}}{{\text{l}}^{\text{2}}}{\text{  -  12lm  +  40ln}} $

$  {\text{   3}}{{\text{l}}^{\text{2}}}{\text{  -  12lm  +  15ln}} $

$  ( - )\,{\text{   }}( + ){\text{     }}( - ) $

$  \overline {{\text{   5}}{{\text{l}}^2}{\text{              + 25ln     }}} {\text{ }}  $
