Question

Which of the following is an algebraic identity?​

Answer 1

$\huge\mathfrak\red {Answer:}$

An algebraic identity is an equality that holds for any values of its variables. For example, the identity

• ( x + y )² = x² + 2xy + y²,

Holds for all values of x and y.

For better results I suggest you to ask along with options.

Answer:

Algebraic Identities

The algebraic equations which are valid for all values of variables in them are called algebraic identities. They are also used for the factorization of polynomials. In this way, algebraic identities are used in the computation of algebraic expressions and solving different polynomials. You have already learned about a few of them in the junior grades. In this article, we will recall them and introduce you to some more standard algebraic identities, along with examples.

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard Algebraic Identities List

All the standard Algebraic Identities are derived from the Binomial Theorem, which is given as:

(a+b)n=nC0.an.b0+nC1.an−1.b1+……..+nCn−1.a1.bn−1+nCn.a0.bn

Some Standard Algebraic Identities list are given below:

Identity I: (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2

Identity II: (a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2

Identity III: a2 – b2= (a + b)(a – b)

Identity IV: (x + a)(x + b) = x2 + (a + b) x + ab

Identity V: (a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca

Identity VI: (a + b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab (a + b)

Identity VII: (a – b)3 = a3 – b3 – 3ab (a – b)

Identity VIII: a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc = (a + b + c)(a2 + b2 + c2 – ab – bc – ca)

Example 1: Find the product of (x + 1)(x + 1) using standard algebraic identities.

Solution: (x + 1)(x + 1) can be written as (x + 1)2. Thus, it is of the form Identity I where a = x and b = 1. So we have,

(x + 1)2 = (x)2 + 2(x)(1) + (1)2 = x2 + 2x + 1

Example 2: Factorise (x4 – 1) using standard algebraic identities.

Solution: (x4 – 1) is of the form Identity III where a = x2 and b = 1. So we have,

(x4 – 1) = ((x2)2– 12) = (x2 + 1)(x2 – 1)

The factor (x2 – 1) can be further factorised using the same Identity III where a = x and b = 1. So,

(x4 – 1) = (x2 + 1)((x)2 –(1)2) = (x2 + 1)(x + 1)(x – 1)
