SECTION – E (Case Study Based Questions)
Questions 17 carry 4 mark each.
17. One day in Class VIII-B, Kumar sir is explaining the Factorisation by regrouping terms and
Factorisation using algebraic identities.
In some algebraic expressions, it is not possible that every term has a common factor.
Therefore, to factorise those algebraic expressions, terms having common factors are grouped
together.
Algebraic identities can be used for factorisation
Answer the following questions based on the above information:
(a) Factorise: 23xy – 46x + 54y – 108
(b) Find the factors of x2 – 4.
(c) Factorise: xa2 + xb2 – ya2 – yb2
(d) Factorise: (x + 2y)2 – 4 (2x – y)2
