Question 31.


Dividing 2x2+13x+15 by x+5 and then substituting x=2 in the resulting expression gives


___
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

2x2+13x+15=2x2+10x+3x+15=2x(x+5)+3(x+5)=(2x+3)(x+5)(x+5)=2x+3


Substituting x=2 in resulting expression gives 2×2+3=7.


Question 32.


Dividing (a+b)2+(ab)2 by (a2+b2) gives 


___
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

(a+b)2+(ab)2=(a2+b2+2ab)+(a2+b22ab)=2(a2+b2)
Dividing by a2+b2 we get,
= 2(a2+b2)(a2+b2)=2
Thus, ((a+b)2+(ab)2)(a2+b2)=2


Question 33.


A factor of a22ab+b2c2 is ___________.


  1.     ab
  2.     abc
  3.     a+b+c
  4.     a+bc
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> abc
:
B

a22ab+b2c2=(ab)2c2
Using identity x2y2=(x+y)(xy)  we get
(ab)2c2 = [(ab)+c][(ab)c]
Hence, factors of a22ab+b2c2 are ab+c and abc


Question 34.


Which of the following is/are the factor(s)
of 4x3+12x2+5x+15? 


  1.     (2x2+5)
  2.     (4x2+5)
  3.     (x+3)
  4.     (2x2+3)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> (4x2+5)
:
B and C

Given, the expression is
4x3+12x2+5x+15.
Taking 4x2 common from the first two-terms and 5 common from the last two-terms, we get
4x2(x+3)+5(x+3)
=(x+3)(4x2+5)
Thus, (x+3) and (4x2+5)
are two factors of the given expression.


Question 35.


Divide (a2+7a+10) by (a+5).


  1.     1
  2.     (a+1)
  3.     2
  4.     (a+2)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> (a+2)
:
D

Given: a2+7a+10(a+5) ...(i)
Comparing a2+7a+10 with the identity x2+(a+b)x+ab,
we note that,(a+b)=7 and ab=10
So, 5+2=7 and (5)(2)=10
Hence,
a2+7a+10
=a2+5a+2a+10
=a(a+5)+2(a+5)
=(a+2)(a+5)
From (i), we get
a2+7a+10(a+5)=(a+2)(a+5)(a+5)
=(a+2)


Question 36.


Divide m2+7m60 by (m5).


  1.     4(m - 6)
  2.     2(m + 6)
  3.     (m + 12)
  4.     (m - 12)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> (m + 12)
:
C

Given, the expression is
m2+7m60(m5).
Now, comparing the numerator with the identity x2+(a+b)x+ab
We note that,
 (a+b)=7 and ab=60.
So,
12+(5)=7 and (12)(5)=60.
Hence,
m2+7m60=m2+12m5m60=m(m+12)5(m+12)=(m5)(m+12)
Therefore,
m2+7m60(m5)=(m5)(m+12)(m5)=(m+12) 


Question 37.


Factorise: 25+70x+49x2


  1.     (5x+7)(5x+2)
  2.     (7x+5)(5x+3)
  3.     (7x+5)(7x+5)
  4.     (3x+7)2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> (7x+5)(7x+5)
:
C

Given, the expression is 25+70x+49x2.
The given expression can be rewritten as,
49x2+70x+25
Using the identity: (a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2,we get
49x2+70x+25=(7x)2+2(5)(7x)+52
=(7x+5)2
=(7x+5)(7x+5)
25+70x+49x2=(7x+5)(7x+5)


Question 38.


Which of the following is/are factor(s) of
49p236?


  1.     (7p6)
  2.     (7p+6)
  3.     (5p+6)
  4.     (6p+7)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> (7p6)
:
A and B

The given expression can be written as,
49p236=(7p)2(6)2
[Using the identity: a2b2=(a+b)(ab)]
=(7p+6)(7p6)
Hence, (7p+6) and (7p6)
are the factors of 49p236. 


Question 39.


On dividing (24xy2)(z2) by 6yz2, we get


  1.     4xz
  2.     4xy
  3.     4yz
  4.     4xyz
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 4xy
:
B

Comparing the coefficients of the different elements and dividing, we get:


246=4


x1=x


y2y=y


z2z2=1


Hence, we have 24xy2z2÷6yz2=4xy.


Question 40.


Find the value of the given expression
(x3+2x2+3x)÷2x


  1.     (x2+2x+3)2
  2.     12
  3.     (x2+2x+3)
  4.     1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> (x2+2x+3)2
:
A

Divide all the terms of the expression (x3+2x2+3x) separately by 2x
x32x=x22;
 2x22x=x;
3x2x=32.
Therefore, (x3+2x2+3x)2x=x22+x+32=(x2+2x+3)2
