EXERCISE 7.8 PAGE NO: 7.30
Resolve each of the following quadratic trinomials into factors:
1. 2x2 + 5x + 3
Solution:
We have,
2x2 + 5x + 3
The coefficient of x2 is 2
The coefficient of x is 5
Constant term is 3
We shall split up the center term i.e., 5 into two parts such that their sum p+q is 5 and
product pq = 2 × 3 is 6
So, we express the middle term 5x as 2x + 3x
2x2 + 5x + 3 = 2x2 + 2x + 3x + 3
= 2x (x + 1) + 3 (x + 1)
= (2x + 3) (x + 1)
2. 2x2 - 3x - 2
Solution:
We have,
2x2 - 3x – 2
The coefficient of x2 is 2
The coefficient of x is -3
Constant term is -2
So, we express the middle term -3x as -4x + x
2x2 - 3x – 2 = 2x2 - 4x + x – 2
= 2x (x – 2) + 1 (x – 2)
= (x – 2) (2x + 1)
3. 3x2 + 10x + 3
Solution:
We have,
3x2 + 10x + 3
The coefficient of x2 is 3
The coefficient of x is 10
Constant term is 3
So, we express the middle term 10x as 9x + x
3x2 + 10x + 3 = 3x2 + 9x + x + 3
= 3x (x + 3) + 1 (x + 3)

= (3x + 1) (x + 3)
4. 7x – 6 – 2x2
Solution:
We have,
7x – 6 – 2x2
– 2x2 + 7x – 6
2x2 - 7x + 6
The coefficient of x2 is 2
The coefficient of x is -7
Constant term is 6
So, we express the middle term -7x as -4x - 3x
2x2 - 7x + 6 = 2x2 - 4x - 3x + 6
= 2x (x – 2) - 3 (x – 2)
= (x – 2) (2x – 3)
5. 7x2 - 19x - 6
Solution:
We have,
7x2 - 19x – 6
The coefficient of x2 is 7
The coefficient of x is -19
Constant term is -6
So, we express the middle term -19x as 2x – 21x
7x2 - 19x – 6 = 7x2 + 2x - 21x – 6
= x (7x + 2) - 3 (7x + 2)
= (7x + 2) (x – 3)
6. 28 – 31x – 5x2
Solution:
We have,
28 – 31x – 5x2
– 5x2 -31x + 28
5x2 + 31x - 28
The coefficient of x2 is 5
The coefficient of x is 31
Constant term is -28
So, we express the middle term 31x as -4x + 35x
5x2 + 31x - 28 = 5x2 - 4x + 35x - 28

– 8y2 + 23y + 3
8y2 - 23y - 3
The coefficient of y2 is 8
The coefficient of y is -23
Constant term is -3
So, we express the middle term -23y as -24y + y
8y2 - 23y - 3 = 8y2 - 24y + y - 3
= 8y (y – 3) + 1 (y – 3)
= (8y + 1) (y – 3)
8. 11x2 – 54x + 63
Solution:
We have,
11x2 – 54x + 63
The coefficient of x2 is 11
The coefficient of x is -54
Constant term is 63
So, we express the middle term -54x as -33x – 21x
11x2 – 54x + 63 = 11x2 - 33x - 21x + 63
= 11x (x – 3) - 21 (x – 3)
= (11x – 21) (x – 3)
9. 7x – 6x2 + 20

So, we express the middle term -7x as -15x + 8x
RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter
7 – Factorization
6x2 - 7x - 20 = 6x2 - 15x + 8x - 20
= 3x (2x – 5) + 4 (2x – 5)
= (3x + 4) (2x - 5)
10. 3x2 + 22x + 35
Solution:
We have,
3x2 + 22x + 35
The coefficient of x2 is 3
The coefficient of x is 22
Constant term is 35
So, we express the middle term 22x as 15x + 7x
3x2 + 22x + 35 = 3x2 + 15x + 7x + 35
= 3x (x + 5) + 7 (x + 5)
= (3x + 7) (x+ 5)
11. 12x2 - 17xy + 6y2
Solution:
We have,
12x2 - 17xy + 6y2
The coefficient of x2 is 12
The coefficient of x is -17y
Constant term is 6y2
So, we express the middle term -17xy as -9xy - 8xy
12x2 -17xy+ 6y2 = 12x2 - 9xy - 8xy + 6y2
= 3x (4x – 3y) – 2y (4x – 3y)
= (3x – 2y) (4x – 3y)

Solution:
We have,
6x2 - 5xy - 6y2
The coefficient of x2 is 6
The coefficient of x is -5y

So, we express the middle term -5xy as 4xy - 9xy
6x2 -5xy- 6y2 = 6x2 + 4xy - 9xy - 6y2
= 2x (3x + 2y) -3y (3x + 2y)
= (2x – 3y) (3x + 2y)

Solution:
We have,
6x2 - 13xy + 2y2
The coefficient of x2 is 6
The coefficient of x is -13y
Constant term is 2y2
So, we express the middle term -13xy as -12xy – xy
6x2 -13xy+ 2y2 = 6x2 - 12xy - xy + 2y2
= 6x (x – 2y) – y (x – 2y)
= (6x – y) (x - 2y)
14. 14x2 + 11xy - 15y2
Solution:
We have,
14x2 + 11xy - 15y2
The coefficient of x2 is 14
The coefficient of x is 11y
Constant term is -15y2
So, we express the middle term 11xy as 21xy – 10xy
14x2 + 11xy- 15y2 = 14x2 + 21xy - 10xy - 15y2
= 2x (7x – 5y) + 3y (7x – 5y)
= (2x + 3y) (7x - 5y)

Solution:
We have,
6a2 + 17ab – 3b2
The coefficient of a2 is 6
The coefficient of a is 17b
Constant term is -3b2
So, we express the middle term 17ab as 18ab – ab
6a2 +17ab– 3b2 = 6a2 + 18ab - ab – 3b2
= 6a (a + 3b) – b (a + 3b)
= (6a – b) (a + 3b)
16. 36a2 + 12abc – 15b2c2

We have,
36a2 + 12abc – 15b2c2
The coefficient of a2 is 36
The coefficient of a is 12bc
Constant term is -15b2c2
So, we express the middle term 12abc as 30abc – 18abc
36a2 –12abc– 15b2c2 = 36a2 + 30abc – 18abc – 15b2c2
= 6a (6a + 5bc) – 3bc (6a + 5bc)
= (6a + 5bc) (6a – 3bc)
= (6a + 5bc) 3(2a - bc)
17. 15x2 – 16xyz – 15y2z2
Solution:
We have,
15x2 – 16xyz – 15y2z2
The coefficient of x2 is 15
The coefficient of x is -16yz
Constant term is -15y2z2
So, we express the middle term -16xyz as -25xyz + 9xyz
15x2 -16xyz- 15y2z2 = 15x2 - 25yz + 9yz - 15y2z2
= 5x (3x – 5yz) + 3yz (3x – 5yz)
= (5x + 3yz) (3x - 5yz)
18. (x – 2y)2 – 5 (x – 2y) + 6

We have,
(x – 2y)2 – 5 (x – 2y) + 6
The coefficient of (x-2y)2 is 1
The coefficient of (x-2y) is -5
Constant term is 6
So, we express the middle term -5(x – 2y) as -2(x – 2y) -3(x – 2y)
(x – 2y)2 – 5 (x – 2y) + 6 = (x – 2y)2 – 2 (x – 2y) – 3 (x – 2y) + 6
= (x – 2y - 2) (x - 2y - 3)
19. (2a – b)2 + 2 (2a – b) – 8
Solution:
We have,
(2a – b)2 + 2 (2a – b) – 8
The coefficient of (2a-b)2 is 1
RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Maths Chapter
7 – Factorization
The coefficient of (2a-b) is 2
Constant term is -8
So, we express the middle term 2(2a – b) as 4 (2a –b) – 2 (2a – b)
(2a – b)2 + 2 (2a – b) – 8 = (2a – b)2 + 4 (2a – b) – 2 (2a – b) - 8
= (2a – b) (2a – b + 4) – 2 (2a – b + 4)
= (2a – b + 4) (2a – b – 2)
