Question 5.
Identify the degree of the expression, 2a3be + 3a3b + 3a3c – 2a2b2c2
Solution:
The terms of the given expression are 2a3bc, 3a3b + 3a3c – 2a2b2c2
Degree of each of the terms: 5,4,4,6.
Terms with the highest degree: – 2a2b2c2
Therefore degree of the expression is 6.

Question 6.
If p = -2, q = 1 and r = 3, find the value of 3p2q2r.
Solution:
Given p = -2; q = 1; r = 3
∴ 3p2q2r = 3 × (-2)2 × (1)2 × (3)
= 3 × (-2 × 1)2 × (3) [Since am × bm = (a × b)m]
= 3 × (-2)2 × (3)
= 3 × (-1)2 × 22 × 3
= 31+1 × 1 × 4 [Since am × an = am+n]
= 32 × 4 = 9 × 4
∴ 3p2q2r = 36

Challenge Problems

Question 7.
LEADERS is a WhatsApp group with 256 members. Every one of its member is an admin for their own WhatsApp group with 256 distinct members. When a message is posted in LEADERS and everybody forwards the same to their own group, then how many members in total will receive that message?
Solution:
Members of the groups LEADERS = 256
Members is individual groups of the members of LEADERS = 256
Total members who receive the message
Samacheer Kalvi 7th Maths Solutions Term 2 Chapter 3 Algebra Ex 3.4 3
= 256 × 256 = 28 × 28
28+8 = 216
= 65536
Totally 65536 members receive the message.

Question 9.
If X = 5x2 + 7x + 8 and Y = 4x2 – 7x + 3, then find the degree of X + Y.
Solution:
Given x = 5x2 + 7x + 8
X + Y = 5x2 + 7x + 8 + (4x2 – 7x + 3)
= (5x2 + 4x2) + (7x – 7x) + (8 + 3)
= x2 (5 + 4) + x(7 – 7) + (8 + 3) = 9x2 + 11
Degree of the expression is 2.

Question 10.
Find the degree of (2a2 + 3ab – b2) – (3a2 -ab- 3b2)
Solution:
(2a2 + 3ab – b2) – (3a2 – ab – 3b2)
= (2a2 + 3ab – b2) + (- 3a2 + ab + 3b2)
= 2a2 + 3ab – b2 – 3a2 + ab + 3b2
= 2a2 – 3a2 + 3ab + ab + 3b2 – b2
= 2a2 – 3a2 + ab (3 + 1) + b2(3 – 1)
= – a2 + 4 ab + 2b2
Hence degree of the expression is 2.

Question 11.
Find the value of w, given that x = 4, y = 4, z = – 2 and w = x2 – y2 + z2 – xyz.
Solution:
Given x = 3; y = 4 and z = -2.
w = x2 – y2 + z2 – xyz
w = 32 – 42 + (-2)2 – (3)(3)(-2)
w = 9 – 16 + 4 + 24
w = 37 – 16
w = 21

Question 12.
Simplify and find the degree of 6x2 + 1 – [8x – {3x2 – 7 – (4x2 – 2x + 5x + 9)}]
Solution:
6x2 + 1 – [8x – (3x2 – 7 – (4x2 – 2x + 5x + 9)}]
= 6x2 + 1 – [8x – {3x2 – 7 – 4x2 – 2x + 5x + 9}]
= 6x2 + 1 – [8x – 3x2 + 7 + 4x2 – 2x + 5x + 9}]
= 6x2 – 1 – [8x + 3x2 – 7 – 4x2 + 2x – 5x – 9]
= 6x2 + 3x2 – 4x2 – 8x + 2x – 5x – 1 – 7 – 9]
= x2(6 + 3 – 4) + x(8 + 2 – 5) – 15
= 5x2 – 11x – 15
Degree of the expression is 2.

Question 13.
The two adjacent sides of a rectangle are 2x2 – 5xy + 3z2 and 4xy – x2 – z2. Find the perimeter and the degree of the expression.
Solution:
Let the two adjacent sides of the rectangle as
l = 2x2 – 5xy + 3z2 and b = 4xy – x2y + 3z2
Samacheer Kalvi 7th Maths Solutions Term 2 Chapter 3 Algebra Ex 3.4 6
Perimeter of the rectangle
= 2(l + b) = 2(2x2 – 5xy + 3z2 + 4xy – x2 – z2)
= 4x2 – 10xy + 6z2 + 8xy – 2x2 – 2z2
= 4x2 – 2x2 – 10xy + 8xy + 6z2 – 2z2
= x2(4 – 2) + xy (-10 + 8) + z2 (6 – 2z2)
Perimeter = 2x2 – 2xy + 4z2
Degree of the expression is 2.
