Solution:

Let us first define the classifications of these 3 polynomials:

Monomials, Contain only one term.

Binomials, Contain only two terms.

Trinomials, Contain only three terms.

3.  Add the following.

Solution:

i) (ab – bc) + (bc – ca) + (ca-ab)

= ab – bc + bc – ca + ca – ab

= ab – ab – bc + bc – ca + ca

= 0

ii) (a – b + ab) + (b – c + bc) + (c – a + ac)

= a – b + ab + b – c + bc + c – a + ac

= a – a +b – b +c – c + ab + bc + ca

= 0 + 0 + 0 + ab + bc + ca

= ab + bc + ca

iii) 2p²q² – 3pq + 4, 5 + 7pq – 3p²q²

= (2p²q² – 3pq + 4) + (5 + 7pq – 3p²q²)

= 2p²q² – 3p²q² – 3pq + 7pq + 4 + 5

= – p²q² + 4pq + 9

iv)(l² + m²) + (m² + n²) + (n² + l²) + (2lm + 2mn + 2nl)

= l² + l² + m² + m² + n² + n² + 2lm + 2mn + 2nl

Solution:

(a) (12a – 9ab + 5b – 3) – (4a – 7ab + 3b + 12)

= 12a – 9ab + 5b – 3 – 4a + 7ab – 3b – 12

= 12a – 4a -9ab + 7ab +5b – 3b -3 -12

= 8a – 2ab + 2b – 15

b) (5xy – 2yz – 2zx + 10xyz) – (3xy + 5yz – 7zx)

= 5xy – 2yz – 2zx + 10xyz – 3xy – 5yz + 7zx

=5xy – 3xy – 2yz – 5yz – 2zx + 7zx + 10xyz

= 2xy – 7yz + 5zx + 10xyz

c) (18 – 3p – 11q + 5pq – 2pq² + 5p²q) – (4p²q – 3pq + 5pq² – 8p + 7q – 10)

= 18 – 3p – 11q + 5pq – 2pq² + 5p²q – 4p²q + 3pq – 5pq² + 8p – 7q + 10

=18+10 -3p+8p -11q – 7q + 5 pq+ 3pq- 2pq^2 – 5pq^2 + 5 p^2 q – 4p^2 q

= 28 + 5p – 18q + 8pq – 7pq² + p²q
