(a) 54m³n + 81m⁴n²
= 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × m × m × m × n + 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × m × m × m × m × n × n
= 3 × 3 × 3 × m × m × m × n × (2 + 3 mn)
= 27m³n (2 + 3mn)

(b) 15x²y³z + 25 x³y²z + 35x²y²z² = 5x²y²z ( 3y + 5x + 7)

Q3: Factorise the following polynomials.
(a) 6p(p – 3) + 1 (p – 3)
(b) 14(3y – 5z)³ + 7(3y – 5z)²
Sol: (a) 6p(p – 3) + 1 (p – 3) = (p – 3) (6p + 1)
(b) 14(3y – 5z)³ + 7(3y – 5z)²
= 7(3y – 5z)² [2(3y – 5z) +1]
= 7(3y – 5z)² (6y – 10z + 1)

Q4: Factorise the following:
(a) p²q – pr² – pq + r²
(b) x² + yz + xy + xz
Sol: (a) p²q – pr² – pq + r²
= (p²q – pq) + (-pr² + r2)
= pq(p – 1) – r²(p – 1)
= (p – 1) (pq – r²)
(b) x² + yz + xy + xz
= x² + xy +xz + yz
= x(x + y) + z(x + y)
= (x + y) (x + z)

Q5: Factorise the following polynomials.
(a) xy(z² + 1) + z(x² + y²)
(b) 2axy² + 10x + 3ay² + 15
Sol:
(a) xy(z² + 1) + z(x² + y²)
= xyz² + xy + 2x² + zy²
= (xyz² + zx²) + (xy + zy²)
= zx(yz + x) + y(x + yz)
= zx(x + yz) + y(x + yz)
= (x + yz) (zx + y)
(b) 2axy² + 10x + 3ay² + 15
= (2axy² + 3ay²) + (10x + 15)
= ay²(2x + 3) +5(2x + 3)
= (2x + 3) (ay² + 5)

Q6: Factorise the following expressions.
(а) x² + 4x + 8y + 4xy + 4y²
(b) 4p² + 2q² + p²q² + 8
Sol: (a) x² + 4x + 8y + 4xy + 4y²
= (x² + 4xy + 4y²) + (4x + 8y)
= (x + 2y)² + 4(x + 2y)
= (x + 2y)(x + 2y + 4)
(b) 4p² + 2q² + p²q² + 8
= (4p² + 8) + (p²q² + 2q²)
= 4(p² + 2) + q²(p² + 2)
= (p² + 2)(4 + q²)

Q7: Factorise:
(a) a² + 14a + 48
(b) m² – 10m – 56
Sol:
(a) a² + 14a + 48
= a² + 6a + 8a + 48
[6 + 8 = 14 ; 6 × 8 = 48]
= a(a + 6) + 8(a + 6)
= (a + 6) (a + 8)
(b) m² – 10m – 56
= m² – 14m + 4m – 56
[14 – 4 = 10; 4 × 4 = 56]
= m(m – 14) + 6(m – 14)
= (m – 14) (m + 6)

Q8: Factorise:
(a) x⁴ – (x – y)⁴
(b) 4x² + 9 – 12x – a² – b² + 2ab
Sol: (a) x⁴ – (x – y)⁴
= (x²)² – [(x – y)²]²
= [x² – (x – y)²] [x² + (x – y)²]
= [x + (x – y] [x – (x – y)] [x² + x² – 2xy + y²]
= (x + x – y) (x – x + y)[2x² – 2xy + y²]
= (2x – y) y(2x² – 2xy + y²)
= y(2x – y) (2x² – 2xy + y²)
(b) 4x² + 9 – 12x – a² – b² + 2ab
= (4x² – 12x + 9) – (a² + b² – 2ab)
= (2x – 3)² – (a – b)²
= [(2x – 3) + (a – b)] [(2x – 3) – (a – b)]
= (2x – 3 + a – b)(2x – 3 – a + b)

Q9: Factorise the following polynomials.
(a) 16x⁴ – 81
(b) (a – b)² + 4ab
Sol: (a) 16x⁴ – 81
= (4x²)² – (9)2
= (4x² + 9)(4x² – 9)
= (4x² + 9)[(2x)² – (3)²]
= (4x² + 9)(2x + 3) (2x – 3)
(b) (a – b)² + 4ab
= a² – 2ab + b² + 4ab
= a² + 2ab + b²
= (a + b)²

Q10: Factorise:
(а) 14m⁵n⁴p² – 42m⁷n³p⁷ – 70m⁶n⁴p³
(b) 2a²(b² – c²) + b²(2c² – 2a²) + 2c²(a² – b²)
Sol:
(a) 14m⁵n⁴p² – 42m⁷n³p⁷ – 70m⁶n⁴p³
= 14m⁵n³p²(n – 3m²p⁵ – 5mnp)
(b) 2a²(b² – c²) + b²(2c² – 2a²) + 2c²(a² – b²)
= 2a²(b² – c²) + 2b²(c² – a²) + 2c²(a² – b²)
= 2[a²(b² – c²) + b²(c² – a²) + c²(a² – b²)]
= 2 × 0
= 0

Q11: Factorise:
(a) (x + y)² – 4xy – 9z²
(b) 25x² – 4y² + 28yz – 49z²
Sol: (a) (x + y)² – 4xy – 9z²
= x² + 2xy + y² – 4xy – 9z²
= (x² – 2xy + y²) – 9z²
= (x – y)² – (3z)²
= (x – y + 3z) (x – y – 3z)

(b) 25x² – 4y² + 28yz – 49z²
= 25x² – (4y² – 28yz + 49z²)
= (5x)² – (2y – 7)²
= (5x + 2y – 7) [5x – (2y – 7)]
= (5x + 2y – 7) (5x – 2y + 7)

Q12: If one of the factors of (5x² + 70x – 160) is (x – 2). Find the other factor.
Sol: Let the other factor be m.
(x – 2) × m = 5x² + 70x – 160

Q13: Express the following as in the form of (a+b)(a-b)
(i) a² – 64
(ii) 20a² – 45b²
(iii) 32x²y² – 8
(iv) x² – 2xy + y² – z²
(v) 49x² – 1
Sol: For representing the expressions in (a+b)(a-b) form, use the following formula
a² – b² = (a+b)(a-b)
(i) a² – 64 = a² – 8²= (a + 8)(a – 8)
(ii) 20a² – 45b² = 5(4a² – 9b²) = 5(2a + 3b)(2a – 3b)
(iii) 32x²y² – 8 = 8( 4x²y² – 1) = 8(2xy + 1)(2xy – 1)
(iv) x² – 2xy + y² – z² = (x – y)² – z²= (x – y – z)(x – y + z)
(v) 49x² – 1 = (7x)² – (1)² = (7x + 1)(7x – 1)

Q14: Verify whether the following equations are correct. Rewrite the incorrect equations correctly.
(i) (a + 6)² = a² + 12a + 36
(ii) (2a)² + 5a = 4a + 5a
Sol:
(i) (a + 6)² = a² + 12a + 36
Here, LHS = (a + 6)² = a² + 12a + 36
Now, RHS = a² + 12a + 36
Hence, LHS = RHS.
(ii) (2a)² + 5a = 4a + 5a
Here, LHS = (2a)² + 5a = 4a² + 5a
Now, RHS = 4a + 5a
So, LHS ≠ RHS
Correct equation: (2a)² + 5a = 4a² + 5a

Q15: For a = 3, simplify a² + 5a + 4 and a² – 5a
Sol:
Substitute the value of a = 3 in the given equations.
a² + 5a + 4 = 3² + 5(3) + 4 = 9 + 15 + 4 = 28
And,
a² – 5a = 3² – 5(3) = 9 – 15 = -6

Q16: Find the common factors of the following:
(i) 6 xyz, 24 xy² and 12 x²y
(ii) 3x² y³, 10x³y² and 6x² y² z
Sol:
(i) 6 xyz = 2 × 3 × x × y × z
24 xy² = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × x × y × y
12 x²y = 2 × 2 × 3 × x × x × y
Thus, the common factors are common factors of 6 xyz, 24 xy² and 12 x²y are 2, 3, x, y and, (2 × 3 × x × y) = 6xy
(ii) 3x² y³ = 3 × x × x × y × y × y
10x³ y² = 2 × 5 × x × x × x × y × y
6 x² y² z = 3 × 2 × x × x × y × y × z
Now, the common factors of 3x² y³, 10x³y² and 6x² y² z are x², y² and, (x² × y²) = x² y²

Q17: Factorize the following expressions:
(i) 54x³y + 81x⁴y²
(ii) 14(3x – 5y)³ + 7(3x – 5y)²
(iii) 15xy + 15 + 9y + 25x
Sol:
(i) 54x³y + 81x⁴y²
= 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × x × x × x × y + 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × x × x × x × x × y × y
= 3 × 3 × 3 × x × x × x × y × (2 + 3 xy)
= 27x³y (2 + 3 xy)

(ii) 14(3x – 5y)³ + 7(3x – 5y)²
= 7(3x – 5y)² [2(3x – 5y) +1]
= 7(3x – 5y)² (6x – 10y + 1)

(iii) 15xy + 15 + 9y + 25x
Rearrange the terms as:
15xy + 25x + 9y + 15
= 5x(3y + 5) + 3(3y + 5)
Or, (5x + 3)(3y + 5)

Q18: Factorize (x + y)² – 4xy
Sol:
To solve this expression, expand (x + y)²
Use the formula:
(x + y)² = x² + 2xy + y²
(x + y)² – 4xy = x² + 2xy + y² – 4xy
= x² + y² – 2xy
We know, (x – y)² = x² + y² – 2xy
So, factorization of (x + y)² – 4xy = (x – y)²

Q19: When we factorise an expression, we write it as a ______ of factors.
Sol: When we factorise an algebraic expression, we write it as a product of factors. These factors may be numbers, algebraic variables or algebraic expressions.

Q20: Find the common factors of 12x, 36
(a) 12
(b) 36
(c) x
(d) 12x
Ans: (a)
Sol: Here,
$12x = 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times x$
$36 = 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3$
So, common factor = $2 \times 2 \times 3$
$\Rightarrow 4 \times 3 = 12$
$\Rightarrow 4 \times 3 = 12$
Hence the correct option is (a).

Q30: The combined area of two squares is $20c m^{2}$ . Each side of one square is twice as long as a side of the other square. Find the length of the sides of each square.

Sol: Let the side of the smaller square be S and that of the bigger square be 2S.
Combined area of the two squares = $20c m^{2}$
$S^{2} + {(2 S)}^{2} = 20$
$S^{2} + 4 S^{2} = 20$
$5 S^{2} = 20$
$S^{2} = 4$
$S = 2 c m$
Hence the side of the smaller square is 2cm and that of the bigger square is 4cm.

Q31: Find the factors of $25 x^{2} -4 y^{2} +28yz-49 z^{2}$
Sol:
$25 x^{2} -4 y^{2} +28yz-49 z^{2} = 25 x^{2} -(4 y^{2} -28yz+49 z^{2})$
$= 25 x^{2} - [(2y)^{2} -2 \times 2 y \times 7z+(7z)^{2}]$
Using the identity , ${(a - b)}^{2} = a^{2} - 2 a b + b^{2}$
${(5 x)}^{2} - {(2 y - 7 z)}^{2}$
Now using the identity , $a^{2} - b^{2} = (a + b) (a - b)$
$(5 x + 2 y - 7 z) (5 x - 2 y + 7 y)$
