Factorisation

CBSE Class 8 - Mathematics - Factorisation - NCERT Exercise (14.2)

NCERT Exercise 14.2



Q1: Factorise the following expressions.

(i) a2 + 8a + 16

(ii) p2 − 10p + 25

(iii) 25m2 + 30m + 9

(iv) 49y2 + 84yz + 36z2

(v) 4x2 − 8x + 4

(vi) 121b2 − 88bc + 16c2

(vii) (l + m)2 − 4lm (Hint: Expand (l + m)2 first)

(viii) a4 + 2a2b2 + b4



Answer:

(i) a2 + 8a + 16 = (a)2 + 2 ☓ a ☓ 4 + (4)2

= (a + 4)2 [(x + y)2 = x2 + 2xy + y2]


(ii) p2 − 10p + 25 = (p)2 − 2 ☓ p ☓ 5 + (5)2

= (p − 5)2 [(a − b)2 = a2 − 2ab + b2]


(iii) 25m2 + 30m + 9 = (5m)2 + 2 ☓ 5m ☓ 3 + (3)2

= (5m + 3)2 [(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2]

(iv) 49y2 + 84yz + 36z2 = (7y)2 + 2 ☓ (7y) ☓ (6z) + (6z)2

= (7y + 6z)2 [(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2]

(v) 4x2 − 8x + 4 = (2x)2 − 2 (2x) (2) + (2)2

= (2x − 2)2 [(a − b)2 = a2 − 2ab + b2]

= [(2) (x − 1)]2 = 4(x − 1)2

(vi) 121b2 − 88bc + 16c2 = (11b)2 − 2 (11b) (4c) + (4c)2

= (11b − 4c)2 [(a − b)2 = a2 − 2ab + b2]

(vii) (l + m)2 − 4lm = l2 + 2lm + m2 − 4lm

= l2 − 2lm + m2

= (l − m)2 [(a − b)2 = a2 − 2ab + b2]

(viii) a4 + 2a2b2 + b4 = (a2)2 + 2 (a2) (b2) + (b2)2

= (a2 + b2)2 [(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2]

NCERT Exercise 14.1 Solutions

CBSE Class8 - Mathematics - Ch 14 - Factorisation (NCERT Ex 14.1)


Q1: Find the common factors of the terms

(i)   12x, 36

(ii)  2y, 22xy

(iii)  14pq, 28p2q2

(iv) 2x, 3x2, 4

(v) 6abc, 24ab2, 12a2b

(vi) 16x3, −4x2, 32x

(vii) 10pq, 20qr, 30rp

(viii) 3x2y3, 10x3y2, 6x2y2z

Answer:

(i) 12x = 2 ☓ 2 ☓ 3 ☓ x

36 = 2 ☓ 2 ☓ 3 ☓ 3

The common factors are 2, 2, 3.

And, 2 ☓ 2 ☓ 3 = 12

(ii) 2y = 2 ☓ y

22xy = 2 ☓ 11 ☓ x ☓ y

The common factors are 2, y.

And, 2 ☓ y = 2y

(iii) 14pq = 2 ☓ 7 ☓ p ☓ q

28p2q2 = 2 ☓ 2 ☓ 7 ☓ p ☓ p ☓ q ☓ q

The common factors are 2, 7, p, q.

And, 2 ☓ 7 ☓ p ☓ q = 14pq

(iv) 2x = 2 ☓ x

3x2 = 3 ☓ x ☓ x

4 = 2 ☓ 2

The common factor is 1.
