Algebraic Identities

Concept Lectures

Session # 1 : This session covers basic Algebraic Identities related to binomials and trinomials - Part I

Session # 2 : This session covers basic Algebraic Identities related to binomials and trinomials - Part II. Some example problems on expansion using identities have also been solved.

Problem Solving Sessions

Session # 3 : Solved Examples : Using Algebraic Identities evaluate a) 103 x 97 and b) (0.99)^2

Session # 4 : Solved Examples : 1. Simplify : (2x+5y+3)(2x+5y+4) 2. If x + 1/x = 6, Find the value of x^2+1/x^2 and x^4+1/x^4

Session # 5 : Solved Examples : If x^2 + 1/x^2 = 27, then find the value of a) x + 1/x, b) x - 1/x

Session # 6 : 1. Prove that 2a^2 +2b^2+ 2c^2 - 2ab - 2bc - 2ca = (a-b)^2 + (b-c)^2 + (c-a)^2 2. Find the coefficient of x^2 in the expansion of (x^2+x+1)^2 + (x^2-x+1)^2
