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) a
4 + 2a²b² + b
4
Answer
We have to make use of following identities to factorize them
(a+b)
2= a
2 +b
2 +2 ab
(a-b)
2= a
2 +b
2 -2 ab
a
2 –b
2 = (a-b)(a+b)
1) a² + 8a + 16
= a
2 + 2×a× 4 + 4
2
So from first identity, it can be written as
=(a+4)
2
2) p² – 10 p + 25
= p
2 - 2×p× 5 + 5
2
So from second identity, it can be written as
=(p-5)
2
3) 25m² + 30m + 9
= (5m)
2 + 2×5m× 3 + 3
2
So from first identity, it can be written as
=(5m+3)
2
4) 49y² + 84yz + 36z²
= (7y)
2 + 2×7y× 6z + (6z)
2
So from first identity, it can be written as
=(7y+6z)
2
5) 4x² – 8x + 4
= (2x)
2 - 2×2x× 2 + 2
2
So from second identity, it can be written as
=(2x-2)
2
= 4(x-1)
2 taking common factor 2 out of square
6) 121b² – 88bc + 16c²
= (11b)
2 - 2×11b× 4c + (4c)
2
So from second identity, it can be written as
=(11b-4c)
2
7) (l + m) ² – 4lm
=l
2 + m
2 +2lm -4lm
= l
2 + m
2 -2lm
So from second identity, it can be written as
=(l-m)
2
8) a
4 + 2a²b² + b
4
= (a
2)
2 + 2a²b²+(b
2)
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) 16x
5 – 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= a
2 +b
2 +2 ab
(a-b)
2= a
2 +b
2 -2 ab
a
2 –b
2 = (a-b)(a+b)
1) 4p² – 9q²
=(2p)
2 –(3q)
2
So from third identity, it can be written as
=(2p-3q)( 2p+3q)
2) 63a² – 112b²
= 7( 9a
2 -16b
2)
=7[ (3a)
2 –(4b)
2]
So from third identity, it can be written as
=7(3a-4b)( 3a+4b)
3) 49x² – 36
=(7x)
2 –(6)
2
So from third identity, it can be written as
=(7x-6)( 7x+6)
4) 16x
5-144x
3
= x³(16x²-144)
= x³(4x+12)(4x-12)
5) (l + m) ² – (l – m) ²
= [ l+m +l-m][l+m-l+m]
=2l×2m
=4lm
6) 9x² y² – 16
= (3xy-4)(3xy+4)
7) (x² – 2xy + y²) – z²
= (x-y)
2 –z
2 as (a-b)
2= a
2 +b
2 -2 ab
Now as a
2 –b
2 = (a-b)(a+b)
= (x-y+z)(x-y-z)
8) 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= a
2 +b
2 -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
1) ax² + bx
=x(ax+b)
2) 7p² + 21q²
=7(p
2+3q
2)
3) 2x³ + 2xy² + 2xz²
=2x(x²+y²+z²)
4) am² + bm² + bn² + an²
Rearranging the terms
= am²+ an²+ bm² + bn²
=a(m
2 +n
2) +b(m
2 +n
2)
=(a+b) (m
2 +n
2)
5) (lm + l) + m + 1
=l(m+1) +1(m+1)
=(l+1)(m+1)
6) y (y + z) + 9 (y + z)
= (y+z)(y+9)
7) 5y² – 20y – 8z + 2yz
=5y(y-4) +2z(y-4)
=(5y+2z)(y-4)
8) 10ab + 4a + 5b + 2
=2a(5b+2) +1(5b+2)
=(2a+1)(5b+2)
9) 6xy – 4y + 6 – 9x
=2y(3x-2) +3(2-3x)
=2y(3x-2)-3(3x-2)
=(2y-3)(3x-2)
Question 4
Factorize.
(i) a
4 – b
4
(ii) p
4 – 81
(iii) x
4 – (y + z)
4
(iv) x
4 – (x – z)
4
(v) a
4 – 2a²b² + b
4
Answer:
i) a
4-b
4 = (a²+b²)(a²-b²)
ii) p
4 – 81
=(p²+9)(p²-9)
iii) x
4 – (y + z)
4
= (x²+(y+z) ²)(x²-(y+z) ²)
= (x²+(y+z) ²)[(x+y+z)(x-y-z)]
iv) x
4 – (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) a
4 – 2a²b² + b

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