Find the product of the following pairs of monomials.
(i) 4, 7p
(ii) – 4p, 7p
(iii) – 4p, 7pq
(iv) 4p3, – 3p
(v) 4p, 0
(i) 4 , 7 p = 4 × 7 × p = 28p
(ii) – 4p × 7p = (-4 × 7 ) × (p × p )= -28p2
(iii) – 4p × 7pq =(-4 × 7 ) (p × pq) = -28p2q
(iv) 4p3 × – 3p = (4 × -3 ) (p3 × p ) = -12p4
(v) 4p × 0 = 0
Find the areas of rectangles with the following pairs of monomials as their lengths and breadths, respectively.
(p, q) ; (10m, 5n) ; (20x2 , 5y2) ; (4x, 3x2) ; (3mn, 4np)
Area of rectangle = Length x breadth. So, it is multiplication of two monomials.
The results can be written in square units.
(i) p × q = pq
(ii)10m × 5n = 50mn
(iii) 20x2 × 5y2 = 100x2y2
(iv) 4x × 3x2 = 12x3
(v) 3mn × 4np = 12mn2p
Complete the following table of products:
Obtain the volume of rectangular boxes with the following length, breadth and height, respectively.
(i) 5a, 3a2, 7a4
(ii) 2p, 4q, 8r
(iii) xy, 2x2y, 2xy2
(iv) a, 2b, 3c
Volume of rectangle = length x breadth x height. To evaluate volume of rectangular boxes, multiply all the monomials.
(i) 5a x 3a2 x 7a4 = (5 × 3 × 7) (a × a2 × a4 ) = 105a7
(ii) 2p x 4q x 8r = (2 × 4 × 8 ) (p × q × r ) = 64pqr
(iii) y × 2x2y × 2xy2 =(1 × 2 × 2 )( x × x2 × x × y × y × y2 ) = 4x4y4
(iv) a x 2b x 3c = (1 × 2 × 3 ) (a × b × c) = 6abc
Obtain the product of
(i) xy, yz, zx
(ii) a, – a2 , a3
(iii) 2, 4y, 8y2 , 16y3
(iv) a, 2b, 3c, 6abc
(v) m, – mn, mnp
(i) xy × yz × zx = x2 y2 z2
(ii) a × – a2 × a3 = – a6
(iii) 2 × 4y × 8y2 × 16y3 = 1024 y6
(iv) a × 2b × 3c × 6abc = 36a2 b2 c2
(v) m × – mn × mnp = –m3 n2 p
