1. Find the product of the following pairs of monomials.

(i) 4, 7p

(ii) – 4p, 7p

(iii) – 4p, 7pq

(iv) 4p 3 , - 3p

(v) 4p, 0

Solution:

(i) 4 , 7 p =  4 7 × p = 28p

(ii) – 4p × 7p = (-4 × 7 ) × (p × p )= -28p2

(iii) – 4p × 7pq =(-4 × 7 ) (p × pq) =  -28p2q

(iv) 4p3 × – 3p = (4 × -3 ) (p3 × p ) =  -12p4

(v) 4p ×  0 = 0

2. Find the areas of rectangles with the following pairs of monomials as their lengths and breadths respectively.

(p, q) ; (10m, 5n) ; (20x2 , 5y2) ; (4x, 3x2) ; (3mn, 4np)

Solution:

Area of rectangle = Length x breadth. So, it is multiplication of two monomials.

The results can be written in square units.

(i) p × q = pq

(ii)10m ×  5n = 50mn

(iii) 20x2 ×  5y2 =  100x2y2

(iv) 4x × 3x2 = 12x3

(v) 3mn  × 4np = 12mn 2 p  

3. Complete the following table of products:

Solution:

4. Obtain the volume of rectangular boxes with the following length, breadth and height respectively.

(i) 5a, 3a 2 , 7a 4

(ii) 2p, 4q, 8r

(iii) xy, 2x2y, 2xy2

(iv) a, 2b, 3c

Solution:

Volume of rectangle = length x  breadth x  height. To evaluate volume of rectangular boxes, multiply all the monomials.

(i) 5a x 3a2 x 7a4 = (5 × 3 × 7) (a × a2 × a4 ) = 105a7

(ii) 2p x 4q x 8r = (2 × 4 × 8 ) (p × q × r ) = 64pqr

(iii) y  ×  2x 2 y ×  2xy 2  = (1 × 2 × 2) (x × x 2 × x × y × y × y 2 ) =   4x 4 y 4

(iv) a x  2b x 3c = (1 × 2 × 3 ) (a × b × c) = 6abc

5. Obtain the product of

(i) xy,  yz, zx

(ii) a, - a 2  , a 3

(iii) 2, 4y, 8y2 , 16y3

(iv) a, 2b, 3c, 6abc

(v) m, – mn, mnp

Solution:

(i) xy × yz × zx = x2 y2 z2

(ii) a × - a 2   × a 3 = - a 6

(iii) 2 × 4y × 8y2 × 16y3 = 1024 y6

(iv) a × 2b × 3c × 6abc = 36a2 b2 c2

(v) m × – mn × mnp = –m 3 n 2 p
