## Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 7th Maths Solutions Term 3 Chapter 3 Algebra Additional Questions

Exercise 3.1

Question 1.
If 4x2 + y2 = 40 and xy = b find the value of 2x + y.
Solution:
We have (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
(2x + y)2 = (2x)2 + (2 × 2x × y) + y2 = (4x2 + y2) + 4xy = 40 + 4 × 6 = 40 + 24
(2x + y)2 = 64
(2x + y)2 = 82
2x + y = 8

Question 2.
If x2 + $$\frac{1}{x^{2}}$$ =23 find x + $$\frac { 1 }{ x }$$
Solution:
We have (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
So (x + $$\frac { 1 }{ x }$$)2 = x2 + 2 × x × $$\frac { 1 }{ x }$$ + $$\frac{1}{x^{2}}$$
= x2 + 2 + $$\frac{1}{x^{2}}$$ = x2 + $$\frac{1}{x^{2}}$$ + 2 = 23 + 2
∵ x2 + $$\frac{1}{x^{2}}$$ = 23
(x + $$\frac { 1 }{ x }$$)2 = 25
(x + $$\frac { 1 }{ x }$$)2 = 52
x + $$\frac { 1 }{ x }$$ = 5

Question 3.
Find the product of ($$\frac { 2 }{ 3 }$$ x2 + 5y2) ($$\frac { 2 }{ 3 }$$ x2 + 5y2)
Solution:
($$\frac { 2 }{ 3 }$$ x2 + 5y2) ($$\frac { 2 }{ 3 }$$ x2 + 5y2) = ($$\frac { 2 }{ 3 }$$ x2 + 5y2)2
We have (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
Here a = $$\frac { 2 }{ 3 }$$ x2 b = 5y2
($$\frac { 2 }{ 3 }$$ x2 + 5y2)2 = ($$\frac { 2 }{ 3 }$$ x2)2 + 2 × $$\frac { 2 }{ 3 }$$ x2 × 5y2 + (5y2)2
= ($$\frac { 2 }{ 3 }$$)2 (x2)2 + $$\frac{20 x^{2} y^{2}}{3}$$ + 52 (y2)2
($$\frac { 2 }{ 3 }$$ x2 + 5y2)2 = $$\frac { 4 }{ 9 }$$ x4 + $$\frac{20 x^{2} y^{2}}{3}$$ + 25y4

Exercise 3.2

Question 1.
Solve 2x + 5 < 15 where x is a natural number and represent the solution in a number line.
Solution:
2x + 5 < 15
Subtracting 5 on both sides 2x + 5 – 5 < 15 – 5
2x < 10
Dividing by 2 on both the sides
$$\frac { 2x }{ 2 }$$ < $$\frac { 10 }{ 2 }$$
Since x is a natural number and it is less than 5, the solution is 4, 3, 2 and 1. It is shown in the number line as below.

Question 2.
Solve 2c + 4 < 14, where c is a whole number.
Solution:
2c + 4 < 14
Subtracting 4 on both sides 2c + 4 – 4 < 14 – 4
2c < 10
Dividing by 2 on both the sides
$$\frac { 2c }{ 2 }$$ < $$\frac { 10 }{ 2 }$$
c < 5
Since the solutions are whole numbers which are less than r equal to 5, the solution set is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Question 3.
Solve -8 < -2n + 4, n is a natural number.
Solution:
-8 < – 2n + 4
Subtracting 4 on both sides
-8 -4 < -2n + 4 – 4
– 12 < – 2 n
÷ by -2, we have
$$\frac { -2n }{ -2 }$$ < $$\frac { -12 }{ -2 }$$ [ ∵ Dividing by negative number, the inequation get reversed]
n < 6
Since the solutions are natural numbers which are less then 6, we have the solution as 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
