Simplification Questions, Formulas, Shortcuts and Practice Problems

Rule of Simplification

  • In simplifying an expression, first of all vinculum or bar must be removed. For example: we know that -4-5 = -9 but, –\(\overline{4-5}\) = -(- 1) = 1
  • After removing the bar, the brackets must be removed, strictly in the order (), {} and [].
  • After removing the brackets, we must use the following operations strictly in the order given below, (a) of (b) division (c) multiplication (d) addition and (e) subtraction

Simplification Questions on Application of Algebra Formulas

2. (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab

Ex 2: Simplify 0.46 x 0.46 + 0.54 x 0.54 + 0.92 x 0.54
Solution:
We have the expression
0.46 x 0.46 + 0.54 x 0.54 + 0.92 x 0.54 = (0.46)2 + (0.54)2 + 2. x 0.46 x 0.54
If we suppose a = 0.46 and b = 0.54, then
= a2 + b2 + 2ab = (a + b)2
= (0.46 + 0.54)2 = (1.00)2 = 1
∴ Answer = 1.

3. (a – b)2 = a2 +b2 – 2ab

Ex 3. simplify 1.66 × 1.66 + 0.66 × 0.66 – 1.32 × 1.66
Solution:
We have the expression
1.66 × 1.66 + 0.66 × 0.66 – 1.32 × 1.66
Now, applying the above formula,
= (1.66 – 0.66)2 = (1)2 = 1
∴ Answer = 1

4. (a + b)2 +(a- b)2 = 2 (a2 + b2)

Ex 4: Simplify the following
2[1.25 x 1.25 + 0.25 x 0.25]
Solution:
Applying the above formula, we have
2[(1.25)2 + (0.25)2 ] = (1.25 + 0.25)2 + (1.25 – 0.25)2
= (1.5)2+ (1)2
= 2.25 + 1 = 3.25

5. (a + b)2 – (a- b)2 = 4ab

Ex 5:

Solution:
Applying the above formula, we have a = 14.5, and b = 6.23

6. (a + b) (a – b) = a2 –b2

Ex 6:
Simplify (502 – 402) =? X 45
Solution:
Suppose a = 50 and b = 40
And required number = x
Applying the above formula,

∴ Required answer = 20.

7. (a + b)3 = a3 + + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab (a + b)

Ex 7:
Simplify (0.6)3 + (0.4)3 + 3 x 0.6 x 0.4(0.6 + 0.4)
Solution:
The above expression can be written as
(0.6)3 + (0.4)3 + 3 x 0.6 x 0.4(0.6 + 0.4)
Now, we suppose 0.6 = a and 0.4 = b and applying the above formula, we have (0.6 + 0.4)3 = (1)3 = 1

8. (a – b)3 = a3 – 3a2b + 3ab2 – b3 = a3 – b3 – 3ab (a-b)

Ex 8:

Solution:

Here a = 0.5 and b = 0.4
∴ Required answer = 0.5 + 0.4 = 0.9

10. a3 – b3 = (a- b) (a2 +ab + b2)
