Class 8 NCERT Solutions - Chapter 14 Factorisation - Exercise 14.2

Last Updated : 11 Sep, 2024

Chapter 14 of the NCERT Mathematics textbook for Class 8 focuses on Factorisation a fundamental concept in algebra. Exercise 14.2 in this chapter delves deeper into the techniques and methods for the factoring algebraic expressions. This exercise helps students apply their understanding of factorization to solve problems and gain a better grasp of the polynomial expressions.

What is Factorisation?

Factorization is the process of breaking down an algebraic expression into simpler components called factors which when multiplied together yield the original expression. For instance, factorizing the expression x2−9 involves expressing it as (x−3)(x+3). Factorization is essential for simplifying expressions solving equations and understanding polynomial behavior. It is a key skill in algebra that involves finding the roots or zeros of the polynomial expressions and solving quadratic equations.

Question 1:  Factorise the following expressions.

(i) a2+8a+16

(ii) p2–10p+25

(iii) 25m2+30m+9

(iv) 49y2+84yz+36z2

(viii) a4+2a2b2+b4

Solution:

(i) a2+8a+16

Ans:

Given: a2+8a+16         

Since, 8a and 16  can be substituted by 2×4×a and  42  respectively we get,

= a2+2×4×a+42

Therefore, by using the identity : (x+y)2 = x2+2xy+y2

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

(ii) p2–10p+25

Ans:

Given: p2–10p+25          

Since, 10p and 25 can be substituted by  2×5×p and 52 respectively we get, 

= p2-2×5×p+52

Therefore, by using the identity : (x-y)2 = x2-2xy+y2

p2–10p+25 = (p-5)2

(iii)25m2+30m+9

Ans:

Given: 25m2+30m+9         

Since, 25m2 , 30m and  9 can be substituted by (5m)2, 2×5m×3 and 32 respectively we get,  

= (5m)2 + 2×5m×3 + 32

Therefore, by using the identity: (x+y)2 = x2+2xy+y2

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

(iv)49y2+84yz+36z2

Ans:

Given: 49y2+84yz+36z

Since, 49y2, 84yz and 36z2 can be substituted by (7y)2, 2×7y×6z and (6z)2  respectively we get,

=(7y)2+2×7y×6z+(6z)2

Therefore, by using the identity: (x+y)2 = x2+2xy+y2

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

(v)4x2–8x+4

Ans:

Therefore, by using the identity: (x-y)2 = x2-2xy+y2

4x2–8x+4 = (2x-2)2

(vi)121b2-88bc+16c2

Ans:

Since, 121b2, 88bc and 16c2 can be substituted by (11b)2, 2×11b×4c and (4c)2 respectively we get,

= (11b)2-2×11b×4c+(4c)2

Therefore, by using the identity: (x-y)2 = x2-2xy+y2

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

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

By expanding (l+m)2 using identity: (x+y)2 = x2+2xy+y2 , we get,

(l+m)2-4lm = l2+m2+2lm-4lm

(l+m)2-4lm = l2+m2-2lm  =  l2-2lm+m2

Therefore, by using the identity: (x-y)2 = x2-2xy+y2

(l+m)2-4lm = (l-m)2

Since, 6p and 8 can be substituted by 2p+4p and 4×2 respectively we get,

= p2+2p+4p+8

Taking p and 4 common terms, we get

p2+6p–16 = (p+8)(p–2)
