1. Get the algebraic expressions in the following cases using variables, constants and arithmetic operations.

(i) Subtraction of z from y.

Solution:-

= Y – z

(ii) One-half of the sum of numbers x and y.

Solution:-

= ½ (x + y)

= (x + y)/2

(iii) The number z multiplied by itself.

Solution:-

= z × z

= z2

(iv) One-fourth of the product of numbers p and q.

Solution:-

= ¼ (p × q)

= pq/4

(v) Numbers x and y both squared and added.

Solution:-

= x2 + y2

Solution:-

Expressions is defined as, numbers, symbols and operators (such as +. – , × and ÷) grouped together that show the value of something.

In algebra a term is either a single number or variable, or numbers and variables multiplied together. Terms are separated by + or – signs or sometimes by division.

Factors is defined as, numbers we can multiply together to get another number.

3. Identify the numerical coefficients of terms (other than constants) in the following expressions:

(i) 5 – 3t2 (ii) 1 + t + t2 + t3 (iii) x + 2xy + 3y (iv) 100m + 1000n (v) – p2q2 + 7pq (vi) 1.2 a + 0.8 b (vii) 3.14 r2 (viii) 2 (l + b)

(ix) 0.1 y + 0.01 y2

Solution:-

Expressions are defined as, numbers, symbols and operators (such as +. – , × and ÷) grouped together that show the value of something.

In algebra, a term is either a single number or variable, or numbers and variables multiplied together. Terms are separated by + or – signs or sometimes by division.

A coefficient is a number used to multiply a variable (2x means 2 times x, so 2 is a coefficient) Variables on their own (without a number next to them) actually have a coefficient of 1 (x is really 1x)
