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

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]
