Question 1.

Take as x different positive numbers, negative numbers and zero, and compute x + 1, x – 1, 1 – x. Check whether the equations below hold for all numbers.

(1 + x) + (1 – x) = 2


Answer:

Let take as positive numbers as: 1,2,3,4

Negative numbers: - 1,-2,-3,-4 and 0


For positive number:


(x + 1) = 1 + 1, 2 + 1 ,3 + 1 ,4 + 1


= 2,3,4,5


(x-1) = 1-1, 2-1 ,3-1 ,4-1


= 0, 1, 2, 3


(1-x) = 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4


= 0, -1, -2, -3


(i) (1 + x) + (1-x) = 2



Let’s check for x = 1


L.H.S = (1 + 1) + (1-1)


= 2 + 0


= 2


= R.H.S


Hence, it works for x = 2


Let’s check for x = 3


L.H.S = (1 + 3) + (1-3)


= 4 – 2


= 2


= R.H.S


Hence, it works for x = 3


Similarly, we can check for other values too. It will follow.



Question 2.

Take as x different positive numbers, negative numbers and zero, and compute x + 1, x – 1, 1 – x. Check whether the equations below hold for all numbers.

x – (x – 1) = 1


Answer:

x – (x – 1) = 1

Let’s check for x = -1


L.H.S = -1-(-1-1)


= -1-(-2)


= 1


= R.H.S


Hence, it works for x = -1


Let’s check for x = -2


L.H.S = -2 - (-2-1)


= -2 – (-3)


= 1


= R.H.S


Hence, it works for x = -2


Let’s check for x = -3


L.H.S = -3 – (-3 - 1)


= -3 – (-4)


= 1


= R.H.S


Hence, it works for x = -3


Similarly we can check for other values too. It will follow.



Question 3.

Take as x different positive numbers, negative numbers and zero, and compute x + 1, x – 1, 1 – x. Check whether the equations below hold for all numbers.

1 – x = – (x – 1)


Answer:

1 – x = – (x – 1)

Let’s check for x = 0


L.H.S = 1 – 0


= 1


R.H.S = -(0 - 1)


= 1


= L.H.S


Hence, it works for x = 0


Let’s check for x = 1


L.H.S = 1 – 1


= 0


R.H.S = - (1 - 1)


= 0


= L.H.S


Hence, it works for x = 1


Let’s check for x = 2


L.H.S = 1 – 2


= -1


R.H.S = - (2 - 1)


= -1


= L.H.S


Hence, it works for x = 2


Similarly we can check for other values too. It will follow.



Question 4.

Taking different numbers as x, y and compute x + y, x – y. Check whether the following hold for all kinds of numbers.

(x + y) – x = y


Answer:

Let’s take x as : 1,2,3,4

And respectively y as : -1,-2,-3,-4


For x = 1 and y = -1:


(x + y) = (1 - 1) = 0


(x - y) = (1 – (-1)) = 2


For x = 2 and y = -2:


(x + y) = (2 - 2) = 0


(x - y) = (2 – (-2)) = 4


For x = 3 and y = -3:


(x + y) = (3 - 3) = 0


(x - y) = (3 – (-3)) = 6


For x = 4 and y = -4


(x + y) = (4 - 4) = 0


(x - y) = (4 – (-4)) = 8


(i) (x + y) – x = y


Let’s check for x = 1 and y = -1


L.H.S = (1 + (-1)) – 1


= (0) – 1


= -1


R.H.S = y


= -1


= L.H.S


Hence, it holds for x = 1 and y = -1


Let’s check for x = 2 and y = -2


L.H.S = (2 + (-2)) – 2


= (0) – 2


= -2


R.H.S = -2


= L.H.S


Hence, it works for x = 2 and y = -2


Similarly we can check for other values too. It will follow.



Question 5.

Taking different numbers as x, y and compute x + y, x – y. Check whether the following hold for all kinds of numbers.

(x + y) – y = x


Answer:

(x + y) – y = x

Let’s check for x = 3 and y = -3


L.H.S = (3 + (-3)) – (-3)


= (0) + 3


= 3


R.H.S = 3


= L.H.S


Hence, it works for x = 3 and y = -3


Let’s check for x = 4 and y = -4


L.H.S = (4 + (-4)) – (-4)


= (0) + 4


= 4


R.H.S = 4


= L.H.S


Hence, it works for x = 4 and y = -4


Similarly, we can check for other values too. It will follow.



Question 6.

Taking different numbers as x, y and compute x + y, x – y. Check whether the following hold for all kinds of numbers.

(x – y) + y = x


Answer:

(x – y) + y = x

Let’s check for x = 1 and y = -1


L.H.S = (1 – (-1)) + (-1)


= (2) – 1


= 1


R.H.S = 1


= L.H.S


Hence, it works for x = 1 and y = -1


Let’s check for x = 2 and y = -2


L.H.S = (2 – (-2)) + (-2)


= (4) -2


= 2


R.H.S = 2


= L.H.S


Hence, it works for x = 2 and y = -2


Similarly we can check for other values too. It will follow.

Taking different numbers, positive negative and zero, as x, y, z and compute x + (y + z) and (x + y) + z. Check whether the equation, x + (y + z) = (x + y) + z holds for all these numbers.


Answer:

Let’s take x = 0,1,-1 y = 1,0,-1 and z = -1,1,0 respectively.

CASE 1: When x = 0, y = 1 and z = -1


Then, x + (y + z),


= 0 + (1-1)

CASE 2: When x = 1, y = 0 and z = 1


Then, x + (y + z)


= 1 + (0 + 1)


= 2


CASE 3: When x = -1, y = -1 and z = 0,


Then, x + (y + z)


= -1 + (-1 + 0)


= -2


Calculating (x + y) + z


CASE 1: When x = 0, y = 1 and z = -1


= (0 + 1) + (-1)

Question 7.

For a point starting at a point P and travelling along a straight line, time of travel is taken as t and the distance from P as s. The relation between s and t is found to be s = 12t – 2t2, there distances to the right are taken as positive numbers and to the left as negative numbers.

(i) Is the position of the point to the right or left of P, till 6 seconds?

(ii) Where is the position at 6 seconds?

(iii) After 6 seconds?

Here it is convenient to write 12t – 2t2 = 2t(6 – t).


Answer:

s = 12t – 2t2

(i) when t = 6, s = 12×6-2(6)2


= 72-36×2


= 0


Thus, it is neither left nor right of point P.


(ii) s = 2t(6-t)


At t = 6s,


s = 2×6(6-6) = 0


Hence, it is at point P.


(iii) s = 12t- 2t2 it can have written as 2t(6-t)


After 6 seconds the term (6-t) will be negative


At t = 7 s = 2×7(6-7)


s = 14 ×-1


s = -14


At t = 8 s = 2×8(6-8)


s = 16× -2


s = -32


It will be left of point P after t = 6 seconds



Question 8.

Natural numbers, their netiaves and zero are together called intergers. How many pairs of integers are there, satisfying the equation, x2 + y2 = 25 ?


Answer:

We have to find how many pairs of integers are there, satisfying the equation, x2 + y2 = 25

When x = 0, 0 + y2 = 25 so, y = + 5,-5


Same will be for when y = 0, x2 + 0 = 25 so, x = 5,-5


By hit and trial we can also find 9 + 16 or 16 + 9 = 25


So, x = 3,-3,4,-4 and respective y = 4,-4,3,3


So pairs are (0,5),(0,-5),(5,0),(-5,0),(3,4),(-3,4),(4,3),(4,-3),(-4,-3),(-3,-4).
