    • (b) 5a and 2a
    • (c) x² and x
    • (d) 2 and 2x
  2. 2. Simplify 6y − 2y:
    • (a) 4y
    • (b) 8y
    • (c) 4
    • (d) 3y
  3. 3. (a + b)² equals:
    • (a) a² + b²
    • (b) 2a + 2b
    • (c) a² − 2ab + b²
    • (d) a² + 2ab + b²
  4. 4. (a + b)(a − b) equals:
    • (a) a² + b²
    • (b) 2ab
    • (c) a² − 2ab
    • (d) a² − b²
  5. 5. What are like terms?
  6. 6. Write the identity for (a − b)².

View answers
  1. 1. (b) 5a and 2a — 5a and 2a share the same variable part.
  2. 2. (a) 4y — (6 − 2)y = 4y.
  3. 3. (d) a² + 2ab + b² — The square of a sum has a middle term 2ab.
  4. 4. (d) a² − b² — Difference of squares: a² − b².
  5. 5. Terms with exactly the same variable part, such as 4x and 9x, which can be combined.
  6. 6. (a − b)² = a² − 2ab + b².
  7. 7. The identities are (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b², (a − b)² = a² − 2ab + b², and (a + b)(a − b) = a² − b². To find 98², write 98 = 100 − 2 and use the second identity: 98² = (100 − 2)² = 100² − 2·100·2 + 2² = 10000 − 400 + 4 = 9604.
