(a) 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, ... Tn =

(b) 1, 7, 17, 31, 49, 71, ... Tn =

(c) 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, ... Tn =

(d) 4, 9, 14, 19, 24, 29, ... Tn =

2 Answer the following questions.

(a) Shankar's shelf at home held 276 of his favourite math books. His best friend Saurabh
borrows z books from Shankar.

(i) How many book remained on Shankar's shelf?

(ii) Another friend of Shankar's, named Deepak, borrowed y books from

Shankar. How many books remained on Shankar's shelf, after both,
Saurabh and Deepak borrowed?

 3 Substitute the values of a, b, c in the expression 3a – 4b + 2c. Then write out the answer in the
box given Use the space given for working out.

(a) a = 3, b = 2, c = 1

(b) a = 4, b = –2, c = 3

4 Each question contains an algebraic expression. Write out the numerical coefficients and the
constant terms in each of them. Then find the value of the expression when x = 1 and y = –2.

Value for
Expression Numerical Coefficients Constant Term
x = 1, y = –2

(a) x 2 + 2 xy + y 2 + 4

(b) x 2 y − 2 xy 2 + 2 x + 5

(c) x3 + 3 xy + y 3 + 2
