FACTORISATION MCQs
:
A
14pq itself is a factor of 28p2q. Thus, any factor of 14pq will also be a factor of 28p2q.
:
B
Given,
x(x+1)(x+2)(x+3)x(x+1)
On cancelling the common terms x and (x+1) , we get
⇒(x+2)(x+3)
:
C
2t, 3t2 and 4 can be factorized as,
2t=1×2×t
3t2=1×3×t×t
4=1×2×2
Hence, 1 is the only common factor among all three.
:
C
The given expression can be rewritten as,
(2y)2−2(2y)(3)+32.
Comparing with the identity
(a−b)2=a2−2ab+b2
we get,
(2y)2−2(2y)(3)+32
=(2y−3)2
=(2y−3)(2y−3)
:
C
We need to regroup ax + bx - ay - by
We get x(a+b) - y(a+b)
Taking (a+b) common from both the terms we get (a+b)(x-y)
Thus, (a+b) and (x-y) is the factors of ax + bx - ay - by
:
B
4y(y+3) can be written as
4×y×(y+3)
=4y×(y+3)=4(y+3)×y
=4×y(y+3)
=4×(y2+3y)
=4y2+12y
So, 4y2 is a term in the expansion of 4y(y+3). It is not a factor.
:
B
4x(x+3) = 4x2 + 3
So, 4x2 is a term of a given expression. 4x2 + 3 is not divisible by 4x2.
So, 4x2 is not a factor of 4x2+3.
The factors of 4x(x+3) are
4,x and (x+3)
:
A, B, and D
Given, the expression is
3m2+9m+6.
Taking 3 common from the above expression, we get
3(m2+3m+2) ...(i)
Now comparing m2+3m+2 with the identity x2+(a+b)x+ab.
We note that,
(a+b)=3 and ab=2.
So,
2+1=3 and (2)(1)=2
Hence,
m2+3m+2
=m2+2m+m+2
=m(m+2)+1(m+2)
=(m+2)(m+1)
Now from (i), we get
⇒3m2+9m+6=3(m2+3m+2)=3(m+2)(m+1)
Therefore,
3, (m+2) and (m+1) are the 3 irreducible factors of the given expression.
:
A
The given expression is
x2−2x−15
We have to split the middle term in such a way the sum is -2 and product is -15 , which can be done in following way
=x2−5x+3x−15=x(x−5)+3(x−5)
=(x+3)(x−5)
So, x+3 is one of the factors of the given expression.
:
A
Since 14 is HCF of 4p and 21q, then both of them should have 7 and 2 as prime factors.
4p = 2 x 2 x p
21q = 3 x 7 x q
Since 14 is the HCF, p should be 7 and q should be 2.
