1. Factorise:

Question (i)
12x + 36
Solution:
12x = 2 × 2 × 3 × x and
36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
Common factors = 2 × 2 × 3
∴ 12x + 36 = (2 × 2 × 3 × x) + (2 × 2 × 3 × 3)
= (2 × 2 × 3) (x + 3)
= 12 (x + 3)

Question (ii)
22y – 33z
Solution:
22y = 2 × 11 × y and 33z = 3 × 11 × z
Common factor =11
∴ 22y – 33z = (2 × 11 × y) – (3 × 11 × z)
= (11) × (2 × y – 3 × z)
= 11 (2y – 3z)

Question (iii)
14pq + 35pqr
Solution:
14pq = 2 × 7 × p × q and
35pqr = 7 × 5 × p × q × r
Common factor = 7pq
∴ 14pq + 35pqr = (2 × 7 × p × q) + (7 × 5 × p × q × r)
= 7 × p × q (2 + 5 × r)
= 7pq (2 + 5r)

1. Divide:

Question (i)
24xy2z3 by 6yz2
Solution:
= \(\frac{24 x y^{2} z^{3}}{6 y z^{2}}\)
= \(\frac{2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times x \times y \times y \times z \times z \times z}{2 \times 3 \times y \times z \times z}\)
= \(\frac{2 \times 2 \times x \times y \times z}{1}\) = 4xyz
∴ 24xy2z3 ÷ 6yz2
= 4xyz

Question (ii)
63a2b4c6 by 7a2b2c3
Solution:
= \(\frac{63 a^{2} b^{4} c^{6}}{7 a^{2} b^{2} c^{3}}\)
= \(\frac{3 \times 3 \times 7 \times a^{2} \times b^{4} \times c^{6}}{7 \times a^{2} \times b^{2} \times c^{3}}\)
= 3 × 3 × \(\frac{a^{2}}{a^{2}} \times \frac{b^{4}}{b^{2}} \times \frac{c^{6}}{c^{3}}\)
= 9 × a2-2 × b4-2 × c6-3
= 9 × a0 × b2 × c3
= 9 × 1 × b2 × c3
= 9b2c3
∴ 63a2b4c6 ÷ 7a2b2c3
= 9b2c3

5. Factorise the expressions and divide them as directed:

Question (i)
(y2 + 7y + 10) ÷ (y + 5)
Solution:
First we factorise
y2 + 7y + 10
= y2 + 5y + 2y + 10
= y (y + 5) + 2 (y + 5)
= (y + 5) (y + 2)
∴ (y2 + 7y + 10) ÷ (y + 5)
= \(\frac{(y+5)(y+2)}{(y+5)}\)
= y + 2

Question (ii)
(m2 – 14m – 32) ÷ (m + 2)
Solution:
First we factorise
m2 – 14m – 32
= m2 – 16m + 2m – 32
= m (m – 16) + 2 (m – 16)
= (m – 16) (m + 2)
∴ (m2 – 14m – 32) ÷ (m + 2)
= \(\frac{(m-16)(m+2)}{m+2}\)
= m – 16

PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 14 Factorization Ex 14.3

Question (iii)
(5p2 – 25p + 20) ÷ (p – 1)
Solution:
First we factorise
5p2 – 25p + 20
= 5 (p2 – 5p + 4)
= 5 (p2 – 4p – p + 4)
= 5 [p (p – 4) – 1 (p – 4)]
= 5 (p – 4) (p – 1)
∴ (5p2 – 25p + 20) ÷ (p – 1)
= \(\frac{5(p-4)(p-1)}{p-1}\)
= 5 (p – 4)

PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 14 Factorization Ex 14.3

Question (iv)
4yz (z2 + 6z – 16) ÷ 2y (z + 8)
Solution:
= \(\frac{4 y z\left(z^{2}+6 z-16\right)}{2 y(z+8)}\)
= \(\frac{2 z\left(z^{2}+6 z-16\right)}{z+8}\)
Now, factorise
z2 + 6z – 16
= z2 + 8z – 2z – 16
= z (z + 8) – 2 (z + 8)
= (z + 8) (z – 2)
∴ 4yz (z2 + 6z – 16) ÷ 2y (z + 8)
= \(\frac{2 z(z+8)(z-2)}{z+8}\)
= 2z (z – 2)

Question (v)

= 5y2 – 20y + 2yz – 8z
= 5y (y – 4) + 2z (y – 4)
= (y- 4) (5y + 2z)

Question (viii)
10ab + 4a + 5b + 2
Solution:
= 2a (5b + 2) + 1 (5b + 2)

PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 14 Factorization Ex 14.2

Question (ix)
6xy – 4y + 6 – 9x
Solution:
= 6xy – 4y – 9x + 6
= 2y (3x-2)-3(3x-2)
= (3x-2) (2y – 3)

4. Factorise:

Question (i)
a4 – b4
Solution:
= (a2)2 – (b2)2
= (a2 – b2) (a2 + b2)
= ((a)2 – (b2)] (a2 + b2)
= (a – b) (a + b) (a2 + b2)

Question (ii)
p4 – 81
Solution:
= (p2)2 – (9)2
= (p2 – 9) (p2 + 9)
= ((p)2 – (3)2] (p2 + 9)
= (p – 3)(p + 3)(p2 + 9)

PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 14 Factorization Ex 14.2

Question (iii)
x4 – (y + z)4
Solution:
= (x2)2 – (a2)2 (∵ y + z = a)
= (x2 – a2) (x2 + a2)
= (x – a) (x + a) (x2 + a2)
= [x – (y + z)] [x + (y + z)] [x2 + (y + z)2] (∵ a = y + z)
= (x – y – z) (x + y + z) [x2 + (y + z)2]

Question (iv)
x4 – (x – z)4
Solution:
= (x2)2 – [(x – z)2]2
= [x2 – (x – z)2] [x2 + (x – z)2]
= [x2 – (x2 – 2xz + z2)] [x2 + (x2 – 2xz + z2)]
= (x2 – x2 + 2xz – z2) (x2 + x2 – 2xz + z2)
= (2xz – z2) (2x2 – 2xz + z2)
= z (2x – z) (2x2 – 2xz + z2)

Question (v)
a4 – 2a2b2 + b4
Solution:
= (a2)2 – 2(a2)(b2) + (b2)2
= (a2 – b2)2
= (a2 – b2) (a2 – b2)
= (a – b) (a + b) (a – b) (a + b)

5. Factorise the following expressions:

Question (i)
p2 + 6p + 8
Solution:
= p2 + 6p + 9 – 1
= (p2 + 6p + 9) – (1)
= (p + 3)2 – (1)2
= (p + 3 + 1) (p + 3 – 1)
= (P + 4) (p + 2)
Here, last term is 8.
∴ 9 – 1 = 8.

OR
p2 + 6p + 8
Here, ab = 8 and a + b = 6
On solving equations, a = 4, b = 2
Now, p2 + 6p + 8
= p2 + 4p + 2p + 8
= p (p + 4) + 2 (p + 4)
= (p + 4) (p + 2)

Question (ii)
q2 – 10q + 21
Solution:
= q2 – 10q + 25 – 4
= (q2 – 10q + 25) – (4)
= (q – 5)2 – (2)2
= (q – 5 + 2) (q – 5 – 2)
= (q – 3) (q – 7)
Here, last term is 21.
∴ 25 – 4 = 21.

OR
q2 – 10q + 21
Here, ab = 21 and a + b = (- 10)
Possible values of a = 7 or (-7)
b = 3 or (- 3)
Let us check, 7 + 3 = 10 ≠ (- 10)
∴ a = – 7, b = – 3
Now, q2 – 10q + 21
= q2 – 7q – 3q + 21
= q (q – 7) – 3 (q – 7)
= (q – 7) (q – 3)

PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 14 Factorization Ex 14.2

Question (iii)
p2 + 6p – 16
Solution:
= p2 + 6p + 9 – 25
= (P2 + 6p + 9) – (25)
= (p + 3)2 – (5)2
= (p + 3 – 5) (p + 3 + 5)
= (p – 2) (p + 8)
Here, last term is (-16).
∴ (-25) + 9 = (-16)

OR

p2 + 6p – 16
Here, ab = – 16 and a + b = 6
Possible values of a = 8 or (-8) b = 2 or (-2)
Let us check, 8 + 2 = 10 ≠ 6
(- 8) + 2 = (-6) ≠ 6
8 + (-2) = 8 – 2 = 6
Now, p2 + 6p – 16
= p2 + 8p – 2p – 16
= P (P + 8) – 2 (p + 8)
= (p + 8) (p – 2)

PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 15 Introduction to Graphs InText Questions 1
Solution:
We can find the quantity of petrol to be got for ₹ 800. For this take a point on the Y-axis (0, 800). Now, draw a line parallel to X-axis to meet the graph at the point B. Now, from the point B, draw a line parallel to Y-axis, which intersect X-axis in the point C. Coordinate of the point C : (16, 0).
Hence, 16 litres of petrol can be purchased for ₹ 800.

Solution:
Here, we clearly understand that graph of quantity of petrol (litre) and amount to pay (₹) should be a line.
Both quantities are in direct proportion. If we fill more litres of petrol, we have to pay more amount and vice versa.
∴ Petrol is the independent variable.

1. Construct the following quadrilaterals:

Question (i).
Quadrilateral LIFT.
LI = 4 cm,
IF = 3 cm,
TL = 2.5 cm,
LF = 4.5 cm,
IT = 4 cm.
Solution:
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Practical Geometry Ex 4.2 1

Steps of construction:

  • Draw a line segment LI = 4 cm.
  • With L as centre and radius = 2.5 cm, draw an arc.
  • With I as centre and radius = 4 cm, draw an arc to intersect the previous arc at T.
  • With L as centre and radius = 4.5 cm draw an arc.
  • With I as centre and radius 3 cm, draw an arc to intersect the previous, arc at F.
  • Draw \(\overline{\mathrm{LT}}, \overline{\mathrm{IF}}, \overline{\mathrm{FT}}, \overline{\mathrm{LF}}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{IT}}\).

Thus, LIFT is the required quadrilateral.

Question (ii).
Quadrilateral GOLD
OL = 7.5 cm,
GL = 6 cm,
GD = 6 cm,
LD = 5 cm,
OD = 10 cm.
Solution:
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Practical Geometry Ex 4.2 2
Steps of construction:

  • Draw a line segment LD = 5 cm.
  • With L as centre and radius = 7.5 cm, draw an arc.
  • With D as centre and radius = 10 cm, draw another arc to intersect the previous arc at O.
  • With L as centre and radius = 6 cm, draw an arc.
  • With D as centre and radius = 6 cm, draw another arc to intersect previous arc at G.
  • Draw \(\overline{\mathrm{LO}}, \overline{\mathrm{GO}}, \overline{\mathrm{DG}}, \overline{\mathrm{LG}}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{DO}}\).

Thus, GOLD is the required quadrilateral.

Question (iii).
Rhombus BEND
BN = 5.6 cm,
DE = 6.5 cm.
Solution:
PSEB 8th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Practical Geometry Ex 4.2 3a
[Note: Diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisectors of each another. Here, diagonals of □ BEND \(\overline{\mathrm{DE}}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{BN}}\) intersect at A. So AN = 2.8 cm and AB = 2.8 cm (BN = 5.6 cm, \(\frac {1}{2}\) BN = AN and AB)]
Steps of construction:

  • Draw a line segment DE = 6.5 cm.
  • Draw perpendicular bisector \(\overleftrightarrow{X Y}\) of \(\overline{\mathrm{DE}}\), which intersects \(\overline{\mathrm{DE}}\) at A.
  • With centre at A and radius = 5.6 × \(\frac {1}{2}\) = 2.8 cm, draw two arcs intersecting \(\overleftrightarrow{X Y}\) in points B and N.
  • Draw \(\overline{\mathrm{DN}}, \overline{\mathrm{EN}}, \overline{\mathrm{EB}}\) and \(\overline{\mathrm{DB}}\).

Thus, BEND is the required quadrilateral.

Dear Divyadeep
India is a land of bio-diversity (जैव – विविधता) We have many kinds of birds and animals wild and domestic. They have different colours, sizes and different food habits. They live in different climatic conditions (जलवायु दशाएं). They are the beauty of our planet. Elephant is a royal animal. He has kingly grace. Bengal Tiger is another wild animal worth mentioning. Lion is the king of forest. Killing of these animals for food and profit is banned. But it is a pity that poachers hunt them for money. They don’t spare even innocent birds like peacock. It must be stopped otherwise our earth will become a poor place to live in.
Yours Sincerely
Jasjeet.
