Class 8 Maths Exercise 12.2 Solutions

Question 1
Factorize the following expressions.
(i) a² + 8a + 16
(ii) p² – 10 p + 25
(iii) 25m² + 30m + 9
(iv) 49y² + 84yz + 36z²
(v) 4x² – 8x + 4
(vi) 121b² – 88bc + 16c²
(vii) (l + m) ² – 4lm
(viii) a⁴ + 2a²b² + b⁴
Answer
We have to make use of following identities to factorize them
(a+b)²= a² +b² +2 ab
(a-b)²= a² +b² -2 ab
a² –b² = (a-b)(a+b)
(i) a² + 8a + 16
= a² + 2×a× 4 + 4²
So from first identity, it can be written as
    =(a+4)²
(ii) p² – 10 p + 25
= p² - 2×p× 5 + 5²
So from second identity, it can be written as
    =(p-5)²
(iii) 25m² + 30m + 9
= (5m)² + 2×5m× 3 + 3²
So from first identity, it can be written as
    =(5m+3)²
(iv) 49y² + 84yz + 36z²
= (7y)² + 2×7y× 6z + (6z)²
So from first identity, it can be written as
    =(7y+6z)²
(v) 4x² – 8x + 4
= (2x)² - 2×2x× 2 + 2²
So from second identity, it can be written as
   =(2x-2)²
= 4(x-1)² taking common factor 2 out of square
(vi) 121b² – 88bc + 16c²
= (11b)² - 2×11b× 4c + (4c)²
So from second identity, it can be written as
    =(11b-4c)²
(vii) (l + m) ² – 4lm
=l² + m² +2lm -4lm
= l² + m² -2lm
So from second identity, it can be written as
    =(l-m)²
(viii) a⁴ + 2a²b² + b⁴
= (a²)² + 2a²b²+(b²)²
So from first identity, it can be written as
=(a²+b²)²

Question 2
Factorize.
(i) 4p² – 9q²
(ii) 63a² – 112b²
(iii) 49x² – 36
(iv) 16x⁵ – 144x³
(v) (l + m) ² – (l – m) ²
(vi) 9x² y² – 16
(vii) (x² – 2xy + y²) – z²
(viii) 25a² – 4b² + 28bc – 49c²
Answer
We have to make use of following identities to factorize them
(a+b)²= a² +b² +2 ab
(a-b)²= a² +b² -2 ab
a² –b² = (a-b)(a+b)
(i) 4p² – 9q²
=(2p)² –(3q)²
So from third identity, it can be written as
=(2p-3q)( 2p+3q)
(ii) 63a² – 112b²
= 7( 9a² -16b²)
=7[ (3a)² –(4b)²]
So from third identity, it can be written as
=7(3a-4b)( 3a+4b)
(iii) 49x² – 36
=(7x)² –(6)²
So from third identity, it can be written as
=(7x-6)( 7x+6)
(iv) 16x⁵-144x³
= x³(16x²-144)
= x³(4x+12)(4x-12)
(v) (l + m) ² – (l – m) ²
= [ l+m +l-m][l+m-l+m]
=2l×2m
=4lm
(vi) 9x² y² – 16
= (3xy-4)(3xy+4)
(vii) (x² – 2xy + y²) – z²
= (x-y)² –z²   as (a-b)²= a² +b² -2 ab
Now as a² –b² = (a-b)(a+b)
= (x-y+z)(x-y-z)
(viii) 25a² – 4b² + 28bc – 49c²
Factorizing each tem
= (5a)² –(2b)² + 2×2b×7c –(7c)²
Rearranging the terms
=(5a)² –[(2b)² - 2×2b×7c +(7c)²]
Now as (a-b)²= a² +b² -2 ab
=(5a)² –(2b-7c)²
=(5a-2b+7c)(5a+2b-7c)

Question 3
Factorize the expressions.
(i) ax² + bx
(ii) 7p² + 21q²
(iii) 2x³ + 2xy² + 2xz²
(iv) am² + bm² + bn² + an²
(v) (lm + l) + m + 1
(vi) y (y + z) + 9 (y + z)
(vii) 5y² – 20y – 8z + 2yz
(viii) 10ab + 4a + 5b + 2
(ix) 6xy – 4y + 6 – 9x
Answer
(i) ax² + bx
=x(ax+b)
(ii) 7p² + 21q²
=7(p²+3q²)
(iii) 2x³ + 2xy² + 2xz²
=2x(x²+y²+z²)
(iv) am² + bm² + bn² + an²
Rearranging the terms
= am²+ an²+ bm² + bn²
=a(m² +n²) +b(m² +n²)
=(a+b) (m² +n²)
(v) (lm + l) + m + 1
=l(m+1) +1(m+1)
=(l+1)(m+1)
(vi) y (y + z) + 9 (y + z)
= (y+z)(y+9)
(vii) 5y² – 20y – 8z + 2yz
=5y(y-4) +2z(y-4)
=(5y+2z)(y-4)
(viii) 10ab + 4a + 5b + 2
=2a(5b+2) +1(5b+2)
=(2a+1)(5b+2)
(ix) 6xy – 4y + 6 – 9x
=2y(3x-2) +3(2-3x)
=2y(3x-2)-3(3x-2)
=(2y-3)(3x-2)

Question 4
Factorize.
(i) a⁴ – b⁴
(ii) p⁴ – 81
(iii) x⁴ – (y + z)⁴
(iv) x⁴ – (x – z)⁴
(v) a⁴ – 2a²b² + b⁴
Answer:
(i) a⁴-b⁴ = (a²+b²)(a²-b²)
(ii) p⁴ – 81
=(p²+9)(p²-9)
(iii) x⁴ – (y + z)⁴
= (x²+(y+z) ²)(x²-(y+z) ²)
= (x²+(y+z) ²)[(x+y+z)(x-y-z)]
(iv) x⁴ – (x – z)⁴
=(x²-(x-z) ²)(x²+(x-z) ²)
=[(x+x-z)(x-x+z)][(x²+(x-z) ²]
=z(2x-z) [(x²+(x-z) ²]
(v) a⁴ – 2a²b² + b⁴
=(a² –b²)²

Question 5
Factorize the following expressions.
(i) p² + 6p + 8
(ii) q² – 10q + 21
(iii) p² + 6p – 16
Answer
(i) p²+6p+8
=p(p+6)+8
(ii) q²-10q+21
=q(q-10)+21
(iii) p²+6p-16
=p(p+6)-16
