Summary

Summary

● The following identities are proved geometrically:

* (x + a)(x +b) = x ² + x(a + b) +ab

* (a + b)² =a² + 2ab +b²

* (a − b)² =a² − 2ab +b² and

* (a +b)(a − b) = a ² −b² .

● The factors of an algebraic expression is two or more expressions whose product is the given expression.

● The process of writing an algebraic expression as the product of its factors is called factorisation.

● An algebraic statement that shows two algebraic expression being unequal is known as an algebraic inequation.

● The algebraic expressions are connected with any one of the four signs of inequalities, namely, >, ≥ ,< and ≤.

● When both sides of an inequation are added, subtracted, multiplied and divided by the same non-zero positive number, the inequality remains the same.

● When both sides of an inequation are multiplied or divided by the same non-zero negative number, the sign of inequality is reversed. For example, x < y ⇒ −x >−y .

● The solutions of an inequation can be represented on the number line by marking the true values of solutions with different colour on the number line.
