Class VIII

Time Allowed: 50 mins Date : 04 - Jan - 2023

Short Answer Type Questions:

1. Express the following as in the form of (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)
2. 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
3. For a = 3, simplify a2 + 5a + 4 = 28 and a2 – 5a = -6
4. Find the common factors of the following:
(i) 6xyz , 24xy2 and 12x2y = 6xy
(ii) 3x2 y3, 10x3 y2 and 6x2 y2 z = x2 y2
5. Factorize the following expressions:
(i) 54x3y + 81x4y2 = 27x3y (2 + 3 xy)
(ii) 14(3x – 5y)3 + 7(3x – 5y)2 = 7(3x – 5y)2 (6x – 10y + 1)
(iii) 15xy + 15 + 9y + 25x = (5x + 3)(3y + 5)
6. Factorize (x + y)2 – 4xy = (x – y)2
7. Factorize x2 + 6x – 16 = (x + 8) (x – 2)
8. Solve for (4x2 – 100) ÷ 6(x + 5) = ⅔ (x – 5)
9. Factorise:
(а) 14m5n4p2 – 42m7n3p7 – 70m6n4p3
(b) 2a2(b2 – c2) + b2(2c2 – 2a2) + 2c2(a2 – b2)
10. The area of a rectangle is 6a2 + 36a and 36a width. Find the length of the rectangle.
11. What are the common factors of the following terms?
(a) 25x2y, 30xy2
(b) 63m3n, 54mn4
