When a = 0, b = − 1, find the value of the given expressions:
(i) 2a + 2b (ii) 2a2 + b2 + 1
(iii) 2a2 b + 2ab2 + ab (iv) a2 + ab + 2
(i) 2a + 2b = 2 × (0) + 2 × (−1) = 0 − 2 = −2
(ii) 2a2 + b2 + 1
= 2 × (0)2 + (−1) × (−1) + 1
= 0 + 1 + 1 = 2
(iii) 2a2b + 2ab2 + ab
= 2 × (0)2 × (−1) + 2 × (0) × (−1) × (−1) + 0 × (−1)
= 0 + 0 + 0 = 0
(iv) a2 + ab + 2
= (0)2 + 0 × (−1) + 2
= 0 + 0 + 2 = 2
