Question 13 Marks
Find $4 x \times 5 y \times 7 z.$ First, find $4 x \times 5 y$ and multiply it by $7 z$; or first find $5 y \times 7 z$ and multiply it by $4 x$. Is the result same? What do you observe? Does the order in which you carry out the multiplication matter?
Answer
$\begin{aligned}\text{We have,}~ 4 x \times 5 y \times 7 z & =(4 x \times 5 y) \times 7 z=(20 x y) \times(7 z) \\ & =(20 \times 7) \times(x y z)=140 x y z \end{aligned} $
$\begin{aligned}\text{Also, } 4 x \times 5 y \times 7 z & =4 x \times(5 y \times 7 z)=4 x \times(35 y z) \\ & =(4 \times 35) \times(x y z)=140 x y z\end{aligned}$
We observe that the result is same
i.e. $(4 x \times 5 y) \times 7 z=4 x \times(5 y \times 7 z)$
Hence, the product of monomials is associative
i.e. the order, in which we multiply the monomials does not matter.

Can you think of two more such situations, where we may need to multiply algebraic expressions?
Hint Think of speed and tirne.
Think of interest to be paid, the principal and the rate of simple interest etc.
AnswerHere are two more situations where we may need to multiply algebraic expressions:
(i) Area of Rectangular Field Let's suppose you have a rectangular field with length $(x+3)\text m$ and width $(2 x-1)\text m$.
$\begin{aligned}\text{Area of rectangular field,}~ A & =(L \times W) m ^2 \\ & =(x+3) \times(2 x-1) \\ & =2 x^2+5 x-3 m^2\end{aligned}$
(ii) Cost and Expenses For an instance, to calculate the total cost of purchasing x items, each priced at ₹ $(a+b)$, then total cost $=x \times(a+b)=$ ₹ $(a x+b x)$

Simplify $3 x(4 x-5)+3$ and find its values for
(a) $x=3$ $\quad$ (b) $x=\frac{1}{2}$
Answer(i) We have, $3 x(4 x-5)+3$
$=(3 x) \times(4 x)-(3 x) \times(5)+3\qquad$ [by distributive law]
$=(3 \times 4) \times(x \times x)-(3 \times 5) \times(x)+3 $
$ =12 x^2-15 x+3$
(a) When $x=3$ then
$12 x^2-15 x+3 =12(3)^2-15(3)+3 $
$ =(12 \times 9)-45+3 $
$ =108-45+3=111-45=66$
(b) When $x=\frac{1}{2},$ then
$12x^{2}-15x+3=12(\frac{1}{2})^{2}-15(\frac{1}{2})+3$
$=12 \times \frac{1}{4}-\frac{15}{2}+3=3-\frac{15}{2}+3$
$=6-\frac{15}{2}=\frac{12-15}{2}=-\frac{3}{2}$

$5 a, 3 a^2, 7 a^4$
AnswerWe have, length $=5 a$, breadth $=3 a^2$ and height $=7 a^4$
$\therefore \text { Volume of rectangular box } $
$=\text { Length } \times \text { Breadth } \times \text { Height } $
$=(5 a) \times\left(3 a^2\right) \times\left(7 a^4\right) $
$=(5 \times 3 \times 7) \times\left(a \times a^2 \times a^4\right)=105 a^7$

Find the areas of rectangles with the following pairs of monomials as their lengths and breadths respectively.
$(p, q),(10 m, 5 n),\left(20 x^2, 5 y^2\right),\left(4 x, 3 x^2\right),(3 m n, 4 n p)$
Answer
$\begin{array}{l}\text { (i) We have, length }=p \text { and breadth }=q \\ \begin{aligned} \therefore \text { Area of rectangle } & =\text { Length } \times \text { Breadth } \\ & =p \times q=p q\end{aligned}\end{array}$
(ii) We have, length = 10m and breadth = 5n
$\begin{aligned} \therefore \text { Area of rectangle } & =\text { Length } \times \text { Breadth } \\ & =(10 m) \times(5 n) \\ & =(10 \times 5) \times(m \times n) \\ & =50 \times(m n)=50 mn \end{aligned}$
(iii) We have, length $=20 x^2$ and breadth $=5 y^2$
$\begin{aligned} \therefore \text { Area of rectangle } & =\text { Length } \times \text { Breadth } \\ & =\left(20 x^2\right) \times\left(5 y^2\right) \\ & =(20 \times 5) \times\left(x^2 \times y^2\right) \\ & =100 x^2 y^2\end{aligned}$
(iv) We have, length $=4 x$ and breadth $=3 x^2$
$\begin{aligned} \therefore \text { Area of rectangle } & =\text { Length } \times \text { Breadth } \\ & =(4 x) \times\left(3 x^2\right) \\ & =(4 \times 3) \times\left(x \times x^2\right) \\ & =12 \times\left(x^3\right)=12 x^3\end{aligned}$
(v) We have, length $=3 m n$ and breadth $=4 n p$
$\begin{aligned} \therefore \text { Area of rectangle } & =\text { Length } \times \text { Breadth } \\ & =(3 m n) \times(4 n p) \\ & =(3 \times 4) \times(m n) \times(n p) \\ & =12 \times m \times(n \times n) \times p \\ & =12 m n^2 p\end{aligned}$

If two adjacent sides of a rectangle are $\left(\text x^2+\text x-1\right)$ and $\left(2\text x^2-3\text x+1\right).$ Find its area.
AnswerWe know that
Area of rectangle $=$ Length $\times$ Breadth
$\because$ Length $=\text x^2+\text x-1$
and breadth $=2\text x^2-3\text x+1$
$\therefore$ Area $=\left(\text x^2+\text x-1\right) \times\left(2\text x^2-3\text x+1\right)$
$=\text x^2 \times\left(2\text x^2-3\text x+1\right)+\text x \times\left(2\text x^2-3\text x+1\right)$ $-1 \times\left(2\text x^2-3\text x+1\right)$
$=2\text x^4-3\text x^3+\text x^2+2\text x^3-3\text x^2+\text x-2\text x^2+3\text x-1$
$=2\text x^4+\left(-3\text x^3+2\text x^3\right)+\left(\text x^2-3\text x^2-\right. \left.2\text x^2\right) +(\text x+3\text x)-1\quad$ [by grouping the like terms]
