= 3x – y + 11 + (-y – 11)

= 3x – y + 11 – y – 11

= 3x – y – y + 11 – 11

= 3x – 2y

Now, subtract 3x – y – 11 from 3x – 2y

= 3x – 2y – (3x – y – 11)

= 3x – 2y – 3x + y + 11

= 3x – 3x – 2y + y + 11

= -y + 11

(b) From the sum of 4 + 3x and 5 – 4x + 2x2, subtract the sum of 3x2 – 5x and

Solution:-

First we have to find out the sum of 4 + 3x and 5 – 4x + 2x2

= 4 + 3x + (5 – 4x + 2x2)

= 4 + 3x + 5 – 4x + 2x2

= 4 + 5 + 3x – 4x + 2x2

= 9 – x + 2x2

= 2x2 – x + 9 … [equation 1]

Then, we have to find out the sum of 3x2 – 5x and – x2 + 2x + 5

= 3x2 – 5x + (-x2 + 2x + 5)

= 3x2 – 5x – x2 + 2x + 5

= 3x2 – x2 – 5x + 2x + 5

= 2x2 – 3x + 5 … [equation 2]

Now, we have to subtract equation (2) from equation (1)

= 2x2 – x + 9 – (2x2 – 3x + 5)

= 2x2 – x + 9 – 2x2 + 3x – 5

= 2x2 – 2x2 – x + 3x + 9 – 5

= 2x + 4

Solution:-

From the question it is given that z = 10

We have,

= z3 – 3z + 30

= 1000

(ii) If p = – 10, find the value of p2 – 2p – 100

Solution:-

From the question it is given that p = -10

We have,

= p2 – 2p – 100

Then, substitute the value of p in the equation

= (-10)2 – (2 × (-10)) – 100

= 100 + 20 – 100

= 20

9. What should be the value of a if the value of 2x2 + x – a equals to 5, when x = 0?

Solution:-

From the question it is given that x = 0

We have,

2x2 + x – a = 5

a = 2x2 + x – 5

Then, substitute the value of x in the equation

a = (2 × 02) + 0 – 5

a = 0 + 0 – 5

a = -5

10. Simplify the expression and find its value when a = 5 and b = – 3.

= 50 – 15 + 3

= 53 – 15

= 38

Exercise 12.4

Question 1.
Observe the patterns of digits made from line segments of equal length. You will find such segmented digits on the display of electronic watches or calculators.

If the number of digits formed is taken to be n, the number of segments required to form n digits is given by the algebraic expression appearing on the right of each pattern. How many segments are required to form 5, 10, 100 digits of the kind 6, 4, 3.
Solution:
(i) The number of line segments required to form
n digits is given by the expressions.

6 = 5n + 1

For 5 figures, the number of line segments = 5 × 5 + 1 = 25 + 1 = 26
For 10 figures, the number of line segments = 5 × 10 + 1
= 50 + 1 = 51
For 100 figures, the number of line segments = 5 × 100 + 1
= 500 + 1 = 501

 4 = 3n + 1

For 5 figures, the number of line segments =3 ×5 + 1
= 15 + 1 = 16
For 10 figures, the number of line segments = 3 × 10 + 1
= 30 + 1 = 31
For 100 figures, the number of line segments = 3 × 100 + 1
= 300 + 1 = 301

8 = 5n + 1

For 5 figures, the number of line numbers = 5 × 5 + 2
= 25 + 2 = 27
For 10 figures, the number of line segments = 5 × 10 + 2
= 50 + 2 = 52
For 100 figures, the number of line segments = 5 × 100 + 2
= 500 + 2 = 502
