All questions of Factorisation of Algebraic expressions for Class 8 Exam

Factorise: x2+ 8x + 16
  • a)
    (x+ 3)2
  • b)
    (x+ 2)2
  • c)
    (x+ 4)2
  • d)
    (x+ 5)2
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Geetika Shah answered
C ) (x2 +8x +16)
= (x2 + 4x + 4x + 16)
= ( x2 + 4x ) + (4x + 16 )
= x(x + 4 ) +4(x + 4 )
=(x + 4)(x + 4)
=(x + 4)2 

Factorize x² + 8x + 12
  • a)
    (x + 2)(x + 6)
  • b)
    (x + 3)(x + 4)
  • c)
    3x + 12
  • d)
    3x - 12
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Kaavya Saha answered
x² + 8x + 12 
two no whose product is 12 and sum is 8
ie. 2 and 6 so;
x2+2x+6x+12
x(x+2)+6(x+2)
(x+2)(x+6)

Which of the following is quotient obtained on dividing –18 xyz2 by –3 xz?
  • a)
    6 Yz
  • b)
    –6 yz
  • c)
    6 xy2
  • d)
    6 xy
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Geetika Shah answered
–18 xyz2/–3 xz   x and x gets cancelled,-18 gets divided by -3 .and z2 gets divided by z so only one z remain in numerator So the quotient obtained is 6yz

Factorise: p4– 81
  • a)
    (p – 3) (p + 3) (p2+ 9)
  • b)
    (p + 3) (p2+ 9)
  • c)
    (p – 3) (p + 3)
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Malavika Basu answered
We have  p4 - 81 = (p2)2 - (9)2 
 
Now using a2 - b2 = (a + b)(a - b), we have
 
         (p2)2 - (9)2 = (p2 + 9)(p2 -9)
 
We can factorise p2 - 9  further as
              p2 - 9 = (p)2 - (3)2
 
                       = (p + 3)(p - 3)
 
∴           p4 - 81 = (p + 3)(p - 3)(p2 + 9)

Can you explain the answer of this question below:

Factorise: 4y2−12y+ 9

  • A:

    (7y− 5)2

  • B:

    (5y− 3)2

  • C:

    (2y− 5)2

  • D:

    (2y− 3)2

The answer is D.

Kavya Saxena answered
We have 4y- 12y+9. comparing the equation with (a-b)2=a2-2ab+b2,gives us a2=(2y)2,2ab=2*3*2y and b2=(3)2.Hence the answer is (2y-3)2.

When we factorise an expression, we write it as a ________ of factors.
  • a)
    product
  • b)
    difference
  • c)
    sum
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Aditya Shah answered
When we factorise an algebraic expression, we write it as a product of factors. These factors may be numbers, algebraic variables or algebraic expressions.
