Hsslive Guru 9th Maths Kerala Syllabus Question 1.
Find those x satisfying each of the equations below:
i. |x – 1| = |x – 3|
ii. |x – 3| = |x – 4|
iii. |x + 2| = |x – 5|
iv. |x| = |x + 1|
Answer:
i. |x−1|=|x−3|
|x−1| means distance between x and 1
|x−3| means distance between x and 3. Therefore the distance from x to 1 and 3 are equal.
x is in between 1 and 3 , that is x is the midpoint of 1 and 3.
x=12×(1+3)=12×4=2

ii. |x−3|=|x−4|
The distance from x to 3 and 4 are equal.
∴ x is in between 3 and 4 , that is x is the midpoint of 3 and 4.

iii. |x+2|=|x−5||x+2|=|x−(−2)|
The distance from x to -2 and 5 are equal.
∴ x is in between -2 and 5 , that is x is the midpoint of -2 and 5.

iv. |x| = |x + 1|

|x + l] = ]x – (-l)|
The distance from x to -1 and 0 are equal.
∴ x is in between -1 and 0, that is x is the midpoint of -1 and 0.

9th Std Kerala Syllabus Maths Solutions  Question 2.
Prove that if 1 < x < 4 and 1 < y < 4, then |x – y| < 3.
Answer:
1 < x < 4 , possible values of x = 2, 3 1 possible values of y = 2, 3
|x – y| = |2 – 2| = 0 < 3
|x – y| = |3 – 2| – 1 < 3
|x – y| = |2 – 3| = |-l| = l < 3
|x – y| = |3 – 3| = 0 < 3
From this if 1 < x < 4, 1 < y < 4, then |x – y| < 3.

Hss Live Guru Maths 9 Kerala Syllabus  Question 3.
Prove that if x < 3 and y > 7, then |x – y) > 4 .
Answer:
Since x < 3, the maximum value of x is less than 3. Since y > 7 the minimum value of y is greater than 7.
Then the difference between the minimum values of y and the maximum value of x is greater than 7 – 3 = 4.
i.e., |x – y| > 4

9th Standard Maths Notes Kerala Syllabus  Question 4.
Find two numbers x, y such that
|x+y|=|x|+|y|
Answer:
1. If x = 3, y =7, then
| x + y | =  |13 + 71| = 3 + 7 = 10
|x| + |y| = |3| + |7| = 3 + 7 = 10
|x + y| = |x| + |y|

2. If x = -6, y =-9 , then
|x + y| = |-6 + -9|
= l-15| = 15

Class 9 Maths Chapter 10 Kerala Syllabus Question 5.
Are there numbers x,y such that |x + y| < |x| + |y| ?
Answer:
x = 5, y = -3

|x+y| = |5 + -3| = |5 – 3| = |2| = 2

|x| = |5| = 5

|y| = |-3| = 3 |x| + |y| = 5 + 3 = 8

Among x, y, if one is a positive number and the other is a negative number, then
| x + y | < |x| + |y|. Question 6. Are there numbers x, y such that |x + y| > |x| + |y| ?
Answer:
No

Real Numbers 9th Standard Kerala Syllabus Question 7.
What are the numbers x, for which
|x – 2| + |x – 8| = 6
Answer:
|x−2| means distance between x and 2.
x can be to the right or left side of the number 2.
|x−8| means distance between x and 8
x can be to the right or left side of the number 8.
If we add the distance between x and 2 with x and 8 we get 6.
When x is to the left side of 2, when we add the distance of x to 2 and 8 we get a number which is greater than 6.
Distance between 2 and 8
= |2 – 8| = | -6| = 6
The difference between 2 and 8 is 6, so the position of x is between 2 and 8.
That is the value of x is in between 2 and 8 including 2 and 8.
i. e., 2 ≤ x ≤ 8

Std 9 Maths Kerala Syllabus Question 8.
What are the numbers x, for which
|x – 2| + |x – 8| = 10 ?
Taking x as different numbers, what all numbers do we get as
|x – 2| + |x – 8| ?
Answer:
|x – 2| + |x – 8| = 10, |x – 2| – |x – 8| = 10
x – 2 + x – 8 = 10
x = 10
( x – 2) – (x – 8) = 10
There is no number x which satisfies this.
– ( x- 2) + (x – 8) = 10
There is no number x which satisf¬ies this.
-(x – 2) – (x – 8) =10
-x + 2 – x + 8=10
-2x = 0
= x = 0
i.e., x = 0, 10

If x = 1
|x – 2| + |x – 8| = |1 – 2| + |1 – 8|
= | -1 | + | -7| = 1 + 7 = 8

If x = 2
|x – 2| + |x – 8| = |2 – 2| + |2 – 8|
= |0| + | -6| = 0 + 6 = 6

If x = 3
|x – 2| + |x – 8| = |3 – 2| + |3 – 8|
= | -1| + | -5| = 1 + 5 = 6

If x = 4
|x – 2| + |x – 8| = |4 – 2| + |4 – 8|
= | -2| + | -4| = 2 + 4 = 6

If x = 5
|x – 2| + |x – 8| = [5 – 2| +15 – 8|
= | -3| + | -3| = 3 + 3 = 6

If x=6
|x – 2| + |x – 8| = |6 – 2| + |6 – 8|
= | -4|+ | -2| = 4 + 2 = 6

If x = 7
|x – 2| + |x – 8| = |7 – 2| + |17 – 8|
= |-5| + |-1| = 5 + 1 = 6
i.e., |x – 2| + |x – 8| = 6 when 2 < x < 8

If x=9
|x – 2| + |x – 8| = |9 – 2| + |9 – 8|
= |7| + |1| = 7 + 1 = 8

If x= 11
|x – 2| + |x – 8| = |11 – 2| + |11 – 8|
= |9| + |3|= 9 + 3 = 12
…………. etc
Taking x as different numbers, different numbers get as |x – 2| + |x – 8|.

Class 9 Maths Kerala Syllabus Question 5.
The number x is on the number line, then find x if |x – 10| = – |x – 4|.
Answer:
The distance between x to 10 and 4 are same. Therefore x is the midpoint of 4 and 10.

Real Numbers Class 10 State Syllabus Kerala Syllabus Question 6.
The quadrilateral ABCD is a square. A and B the points denote -2 and 3 on the number line.
a. Draw the square ABCD on the number line
b. Calculate the perimeter of the square ABCD.
Answer:

b. AB = |-2 – 3| = 5 unit
Perimeter = 5 × 4 = 20 unit

Question 7.
If |a + 1| = |a + 5 |, |b – 2| = |b – 6|,
|a – x| = |b -x|, then find x.
Answer:
|a + 1| = |a + 5|
Since the point, ‘a’ represented on the num¬ber line is at a the equal distance from -1 and -5.
That is ‘a’ is midpoint of -1 and -5.

|b – 2| = |b – 6|
Since the point, ‘a’ represented on the number line is at a equal distance from 2 and 6.
That is ‘a’ is midpoint of 2 and 6

|x – a| = |x – b| therefore point x is the
midpoint of a = -3 and b = 4

Question 8.
Find the value of x.
a. |x – 2| = |x – 10|
b. |x + 3| = |x – 7|
Answer:
a. The distance between x to 2 and 10 are same. Therefore x is the midpoint of 2 and 10.

b. |x + 3| = |x – (-3)|
The distance between x to -3 and 7 are same. Therefore x is the midpoint of -3 and 7.

Question 9.
If the difference between two numbers is 4. If one number is 8. What values will the other number have?
Answer:
Consider other number as x, then
|x – 8| = 4
i.e., x – 8 = 4 or 8 – x = 4
x = 12 or x = 4
Other number as 12 or 4.

Question 10.
Find the distance between the pairs of numbers given below.
a. 2, 8
b. -2, 8
c. -2, -8
Answer:
a. Distance between 2 and 8
= |x – y| = |2 – 8| |-6| = 6

b. Distance between -2 and 8
= |-2-8| = |-10| = 10

c. Distance between -2 and -8
= |-2 – (-8)| = |-2 + 8| = |6| = 6

Question 11.

Answer:

Question 12.
The number x is located to the right side of 3 on the number line, if
|x – 3|= 0, then
a. What is the value of x ?
b. Calculate |x – 3| + |x – 9|.
Answer:
a. |x – 3| = 0
-(x – 3) = 0 or x – 3 = 0
-x = -3 or x = 3
x=3

b. |x – 3| + |x – 9|
= |3 – 3| + |3 – 9|
= |0| + |-6 | = 6

Question 13.
If |x – 5| = 10, then find the value of x .
Answer:
The distance between x and 5 is 10.
If x is to the right side of 5 , then x = 5 + 10 = 10
If x is to the left side of 5 , then
x = 5 – 10 = -5

Question 14.
If |x + 2| = |x – 8|, then find the value of x ?
Answer:
|x + 2| = |x – (-2)|
The distance of x to -2 and 8 are equal.
Therefore position of x is between -2 and 8.

Question 15.
If |x – 1| =|x – 3|, then find the value of x.
Answer:
Distance from 1 and 3 to x are same.
Therefore position of x is between 1 and 3.
Position of x = 1+32 = 42 = 2

Question 16.
Using the common form of rational numbers, prove that the sum, difference, product and quotient of any two rational numbers is again a rational number.
Answer:
i. If a, b, c and d are natural numbers,
ab, cd are rational numbers.

Sum and product of all-natural numbers are always natural numbers. So here the numerator and denominator are natural numbers.
That is if x and y are natural numbers
then this can be expressed as x/y.
Therefore the sum is rational

ii. Difference:
a, b, c and d are natural numbers

Hence it is rational.

iii. Product:
a, b, c and d are natural numbers

Hence it is rational.

iv. Quotient:
a, b, c and d are natural numbers

Hence it is rational.

Question 17.
Prove that the product of any irrational number and non – zero rational number is an irrational number.
Answer:
Let a be the irrational number and b the rational number and a × b = c, that is to prove that c is irrational.
Consider c is a rational number, a × b = c
From this we get b = c/a
That is b = Onerationalotherrational = One rational
If we take b as irrational here we get b as a rational number. This is a wrong decision. This is due to our wrong assumption that is c is a rational number. The assumption that c is a rational number is a wrong one.
∴ c is an irrational number.
That is the product of any irrational number and non – zero rational number is an irrational number.

Question 18.
Give an example of two different irrational numbers whose product is a rational number.
Answer:
3√2 and 5√2 are irrational numbers
3√2 × 5√2 = 3 × 5 × √2 × √2 = 3 × 5 × 2 = 30 is a rational nummber. More examples
1. √3 × 7√3 = 4 × 7 × 3 = 84
2. 2√5 × 5√5 = 2 × 5 × 5 = 50
3. √20 × √5 = √20 × √5 = √100 = 10
