Question 512 Marks
Find the common factors of the given term: $3 x^2 y^3, 10 x^3 y^2, 6 x^2 y^2 z$
Answer
$3 x^2 y^3=$ $3\times x\times x\times y\times y\times y$
$10x^3y^2=$ $2\times 5\times x\times x\times x\times y\times y$
$6x^2y^2z =$ $2\times 3\times x\times x\times y\times y\times z$
Hence the common factors are $x, x, y, y$
and $x\times x\times y\times y$ $= x^2y^2$

Question 542 Marks
Find the common factors of the given term: $6abc, 24ab^2, 12a^2b$
Answer
6abc $= 2 × 3 × a × b × c$

Question 552 Marks
Find the common factors of the given term: $2x, 3x^2, 4$
Answer
$2x, 3x^2, 4$
$2x = \underline 1 \times 2 \times \underline{\underline x} $

Question 562 Marks
Find the common factors of the given term: $14pq, 28p^2q^2$
Answer
$14pq, 28p^2q^2$
14pq $ = \underline 2 \times \underline{\underline 7} \times \mathop p\limits_o \times \mathop q\limits_w $
$28p^2q^2$ $ = \underline 2 \times 2 \times \underline{\underline 7} \times \mathop p\limits_o \times p \times \mathop q\limits_w \times q$
Common prime factors are $2, 7, p$ and $q$.
$\therefore H.C.F. = 2 \times 7 \times p \times q = 14pq$

Question 592 Marks
Factorise the expression: $x^2+ 5x + 6$
Answer
We have $x^2+ 5x + 6,$
$= x^2+ 3x + 2x + 6 = x(x + 3) + 2(x + 3)$
$= (x + 3)(x + 2)$

Question 602 Marks
Factorise: $a^2– 2ab + b^2– c^2$
Answer
$a^2– 2ab + b^2– c^2= (a – b)^2– c^2[$ Using identity, $(x – y)^2= x^2– 2xy + y^2]$
$= {(a – b) – c)}{(a – b) + c}] [$Using identity, $x^2- y^2= (x - y)(x + y)]$
$= (a – b – c) (a – b + c)$
This is the required factorisation.

Question 612 Marks
Factorise: $49p^2- 36$
Answer
$49p^2– 36 = (7p)^2- (6)^2$
Now using identity, $a^2- b^2= (a - b)(a + b),$
$= (7p - 6)(7p + 6)$
This is the required factorisation.

Question 622 Marks
Factorise: $4y^2– 12y + 9$, using the identity $a^2- 2ab + b^2= (a - b)^2$
Answer
Using identity, $a^2-2 a b+b^2=(a-b)^2$
$4 y^2-12 y+9$
$=(2 y)^2-2 \times 3 \times(2 y)+(3)^2$
$=(2 y-3)^2$
= (2y – 3)(2y – 3)
This is the required factorisation.

Question 662 Marks
Solve the division: $-20x^4$ $\div$ $10x62$
Answer
Now, $-20 \mathrm{x}^4=-2 \times 2 \times 5 \times \mathrm{x} \times \mathrm{x} \times \mathrm{x} \times \mathrm{x}$
and $10 \mathrm{x}^2=2 \times 5 \times \mathrm{x} \times \mathrm{x}$
Therefore, $(–20x^4)$ $\div$ $10x^2=$ $\frac{-2\times2\times5\times x\times x\times x\times x}{2\times5 \times x\times x}$
$ = -2$ $\times$ x $\times$ $x = -2x^2$

Question 672 Marks
Obtain the factors of $z^2- 4z – 12.$
Answer
$z^2– 4z –12 = z^2– 6z + 2z –12$
$= z(z – 6) + 2(z – 6 )$
$= (z – 6)(z + 2)$
Thus, the factors of $z^2– 4z – 12$ are $(z – 6)$ and $(z + 2)$

Question 682 Marks
Find the factors of $y^2- 7y + 12.$
Answer
$y^2– 7y + 12 = y^2– 3y – 4y + 12$
$= y(y –3) – 4(y – 3) = (y – 3)(y – 4)$
Thus, the factors are $(y – 3)$ and $(y – 4)$.
