Numbers obtained when a number is multiplied by itself three times are known as cube numbers. For example 1, 8, 27, … etc.
If in the prime factorisation of any number each factor appears three times, then the
number is a perfect cube.
The symbol
denotes cube root. For example
Perfect Cube: A natural number is said to be a perfect cube if it is the cube of some natural number. Example: 8 is perfect cube, because there is a natural number 2 such that 8 = 23, but 18 is not a perfect cube, because there is no natural number whose cube is 18.
The cube of a negative number is always negative.
Properties of Cube of Number:
Cubes of even number are even.
Cubes of odd numbers are odd.
The sum of the cubes of first n natural numbers is equal to the square of their sum.
Cubes of the numbers ending with the digits 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 and 9 end with digits 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 and 9 respectively.
Cube of the number ending in 2 ends in 8 and cube of the number ending in 8 ends in 2.
Cube of the number ending in 3 ends in 7 and cube of the number ending in 7
ends in 3.

Algebraic Expressions and Identities | Speed Notes
Notes For Quick Recap
Expressions are formed from variables and constants.
Constant: A symbol having a fixed numerical value.
Example: 2,, 2.1, etc. (Scroll down to continue …)
Study Tools
Audio, Visual & Digital Content
Variable: A symbol which takes various numerical values. Example: x, y, z, etc.
Algebric Expression: A combination of constants and variables connected by the sign
+, -, and is called algebraic expression.
Terms are added to form expressions.
Terms themselves are formed as product of factors.
Expressions that contain exactly one, two and three terms are called monomials, binomials and trinomials respectively.
In general, any expression containing one or more terms with non-zero coefficients (and with variables having non- negative exponents) is called a polynomial.
Like terms are formed from the same variables and the powers of these variables are the same, too.
Coefficients of like terms need not be the same.
While adding (or subtracting) polynomials, first look for like terms and add (or subtract) them; then handle the unlike terms.
There are number of situations in which we need to multiply algebraic expressions: for example, in finding area of a rectangle, the sides of which are given as expressions.
Monomial: An expression containing only one term. Example: -3, 4x, 3xy, etc.
Binomial: An expression containing two terms. Example: 2x-3, 4x+3y, xy-4, etc.,
Polynomial: In general, any expression containing one or more terms with non-zero coefficients (and with variables having non-negative exponents).
A polynomial may contain any number of terms, one or more than one.
A monomial multiplied by a monomial always gives a monomial.
Multiplication of a Polynomial and a monomial:
While multiplying a polynomial by a monomial, we multiply every term in the polynomial by the mononomial.
Trinomial: An expression containing three terms.
Example:
3x+2y+5z, etc.
In carrying out the multiplication of a polynomial by a binomial (or trinomial), we multiply term by term, i.e., every term of the polynomial is multiplied by every term in the binomial (or trinomial).
Note that in such multiplication, we may get terms in the product which are like and have to be combined.
An identity is an equality, which is true for all values of the variables in the equality.
On the other hand, an equation is true only for certain values of its variables.
An equation is not an identity.
The following are the standard identities:
(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
(a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab +b2
(a + b)(a – b) = a2 – b2
(x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a + b) x + ab
The above four identities are useful in carrying out squares and products of algebraic expressions.
They also allow easy alternative methods to calculate products of numbers and so on.
Coefficients: In the term of an expression any of the factors with the sign of the term is called the coefficient of the product of the other factors.
Terms: Various parts of an algebraic expression which are separated by + and – signs. Example: The expression 4x + 5 has two terms 4x and 5.
Constant Term: A term of expression having no lateral factor.
Like term: The term having the same literal factors. Example 2xy and -4xy are like terms.
(iii) Unlike term: The terms having different literal factors.
Example:
are unlike terms.
and 3xy
Factors: Each term in an algebraic expression is a product of one or more number (s) and/or literals. These number (s) and/or literal (s) are known as the factor of that term. A constant factor is called numerical factor, while a variable factor is known as
a literal factor. The term 4x is the product of its factors 4 and x.

Direct Variation or Direct Proportion:
Extra:
Two quantities x and y are said to be in direct proportion if they increase (decrease) together in such a manner that the ratio of their corresponding values remains
constant. That is if
=k [k is a positive number, then x and y are said to vary directly.
In such a case if y1, y2 are the values of y corresponding to the values x1, x of x
respectively then = .
If the number of articles purchased increases, the total cost also increases. More than money deposited in a bank, more is the interest earned.
Quantities increasing or decreasing together need not always be in direct proportion, same in the case of inverse proportion.
When two quantities x and y are in direct proportion (or vary directly), they are
written as
. Symbol
stands for ‘is proportion to’.
Inverse Proportion: Two quantities x and y are said to be in inverse proportion if an increase in x causes a proportional decrease in y (and vice-versa) in such a manner that the product of their corresponding values remains constant. That is, if xy
= k, then x and y are said to vary inversely. In this case if y1, y2 are the values of y
corresponding to the values x1, x2 of x respectively then
x1, Y1 = x2, y2 or

When two quantities x and y are in inverse proportion (or vary inversely), they are
written as x

Factorisation: Representation of an algebraic expression as the product of two or more expressions is called factorization. Each such expression is called a factor of the given algebraic expression. (Scroll down to continue …)
Study Tools
Audio, Visual & Digital Content
When we factorise an expression, we write it as a product of factors. These factors may be numbers, algebraic variables or algebraic expressions.
An irreducible factor is a factor which cannot be expressed further as a product of factors.
A systematic way of factorising an expression is the common factor method. It consists of three steps:
Write each term of the expression as a product of irreducible factors
Look for and separate the common factors and
Combine the remaining factors in each term in accordance with the distributive law.
Sometimes, all the terms in a given expression do not have a common factor; but the terms can be grouped in such a way that all the terms in each group have a common factor. When we do this, there emerges a common factor across all the groups leading to the required factorisation of the expression. This is the method of regrouping.
In factorisation by regrouping, we should remember that any regrouping (i.e., rearrangement) of the terms in the given expression may not lead to factorisation. We must observe the expression and come out with the desired regrouping by trial and error.
A number of expressions to be factorised are of the form or can be put into the form: a2 + 2ab + b2, a2 – 2ab + b2, a2 – b2 and x2 + (a + b)x + ab. These expressions can be easily factorised using Identities I, II, III and IV
a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2
a2 – 2ab + b2 = (a – b)2
a2 – b2 = (a + b) (a – b)
Factorisation
x2 + (a + b)x + ab = (x + a)(x + b)
In expressions which have factors of the type (x + a) (x + b), remember the numerical term gives ab.
Its factors, a and b, should be so chosen that their sum, with signs taken care of, is the coefficient of x.
We know that in the case of numbers, division is the inverse of multiplication. This idea is applicable also to the division of algebraic expressions.
In the case of division of a polynomial by a monomial, we may carry out the division either by dividing each term of the polynomial by the monomial or by the common factor method.
In the case of division of a polynomial by a polynomial, we cannot proceed by dividing each term in the dividend polynomial by the divisor polynomial. Instead, we factorise both the polynomials and cancel their common factors.
In the case of divisions of algebraic expressions that we studied in this chapter, we have Dividend = Divisor × Quotient.
In general, however, the relation is Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
Thus, we have considered in the present chapter only those divisions in which the remainder is zero.
There are many errors students commonly make when solving algebra exercises.
You should avoid making such errors.
