Question 1.
Describe expressions are obtained:
(i) 7xy + 5
(ii) x²y
(iii) 4x² – 5x
Solution:
(i) 7xy + 5
To obtain this expression, we first multiply two variables x and y, i.e. x × y = xy.
Then we multiply their product by 7 to get 7xy.
Next, we add 5 to 7xy to obtain 7xy + 5.
(ii) x²y
First, x is multiplied by itself i.e., x × x = x²
Then multiply x² by y to get the required expression, i.e. x² × y = x²y
(iii) 4x² – 5x
Here, the variable x is multiplied by itself, i.e. x × x = x²
Then x² is multiplied by 4, i.e. x² x 4 = 4x²
Next, we multiply the variable x by 5, i.e. x × 5 = 5x
Now, we subtract 5x from 4x² to get 4x² – 5x

Question 1.
What are the terms in the following expressions? Show how the terms are formed. Draw a tree diagram for each expression:
(i) 8y + 3x²
(ii) 7mn – 4
(iii) 2x²y
Solution:
(i) 8y + 3x²
Terms of 8y + 3x² are 8y and 3x²
The term 8y is formed by multiplying the variable y by 8.
The term 3x² is formed by first multiplying the variable x with itself to get x × x = x² and then multiplying x² by 3.
Tree diagram:
(ii) 7mn
Terms of 7mn – 4 are 7mn and – 4.
The term 7mn formed by first multiplying variables m and n to get m x n = mn
Then multiplying mn by constant 7 to get 7 x mn = 7mn. The term – 4 is a constant.
Tree diagram:
(iii) 2x²y
This expression has only one term, i.e. 2x²y. To form this term first we multiply the variable x by itself to get x × x = x².
Then the variable y is multiplied by x² to get y × x² = x²y
Next, the product x1y is multiplied by 2 to get 2 × x²y = 2x²y

Question 2.
Write tree expressions each having 4 terms.
Solution:
(i) 2x3 – 4x² + 9xy + 8
(ii) 6x3 + 9y² – 3xy² – 12
(iii) 9x² – 3x + 12xy – 1

Solution:
(i) 4x – 3y
The coefficient of x in 4x is 4.
The coefficient of y in – 3y is (- 3).
(ii) a + b + 5
The coefficient of a is 1.
The coefficient of b is 1.
The coefficient of 5 is 1.
(iii) 2y + 5
The coefficient of y in 2y is 2.
The coefficient of 5 is 1.
(iv) 2xy
The coefficient of xy in 2xy is 2.
The coefficient of y in 2xy is 2x.
The coefficient of y in 2xy is 2y.

Question 1.
Add and subtract:
(i) m – n, m + n
(ii) mn + 5 – 2, mn + 3
Solution:
(i) Adding (m – n) and (m + n), we have:
(m – n) + (m + n) = m – n + m + n
Collecting like terms, we have:
(m + m) + (-n + n) = (1 + 1)m + (-1 + 1)n
= 2 m + (0)n
= 2m
Now subtracting (m – n) from (m + n), we have:
= (m + n) – (m – n)
= m + n – m + n
= (m – m) + (n + n)
= (1 – 1 )m + (1 + 1)n
= 0m + 2n
= 2 n
(ii) Adding mn + 5 – 2 and mn + 3, we have:
(mn + 5 – 2) + (mn + 3)
= mn + 5 – 2 + mn + 3
= (mn + mn) + (5 – 2 + 3)
= (1 + 1 )mn + (6)
= 2mn + 6
Now, subtracting (mn + 3) from (mn + 5 – 2), we have:
(mn + 5 – 2) – (mn + 3)
= mn + 5 – 2 – mn – 3
= (mn – mn) + (5 – 2 – 3)
= (0)mn + 0 = 0 + 0 = 0
