5. Factorise the following expressions.
(i) p2+6p+8
(ii) q2–10q+21
(iii) p2+6p–16
Solution:
(i) p2+6p+8
We observed that, 8 = 4×2 and 4+2 = 6
p2+6p+8 can be written as p2+2p+4p+8
Taking Common terms, we get
p2+6p+8 = p2+2p+4p+8 = p(p+2)+4(p+2)
Again p+2 is common in both the terms.
= (p+2)(p+4)
This implies: p2+6p+8 = (p+2)(p+4)
(ii) q2–10q+21
Observed that, 21 = -7×-3 and -7+(-3) = -10
q2–10q+21 = q2–3q-7q+21
= q(q–3)–7(q–3)
= (q–7)(q–3)
This implies q2–10q+21 = (q–7)(q–3)
(iii) p2+6p–16
We observed that, -16 = -2×8 and 8+(-2) = 6
p2+6p–16 = p2–2p+8p–16
= p(p–2)+8(p–2)
= (p+8)(p–2)
So, p2+6p–16 = (p+8)(p–2)

Solve for m2–14m–32, we have
m2–14m–32 = m2+2m-16m–32 = m(m+2)–16(m+2) = (m–16)(m+2)

Factorize 9x2–16y2 , we have
9x2–16y2 = (3x)2–(4y)2 = (3x+4y)(3x-4y) using identity: p2–q2 = (p–q)(p+q)
Now, 12xy(9x2–16y2) ÷ 4xy(3x+4y) = 12xy(3x+4y)(3x-4y) /4xy(3x+4y) = 3(3x-4y)

LHS = (a–4)(a–2) = a(a–2)–4(a–2)
= a2–2a–4a+8
= a2–6a+8
≠ a2-8 = RHS
The correct statement is (a–4)(a–2) = a2–6a+8
16. 3x2/3x2 = 0
Solution:
LHS = 3x2/3x2 = 1 ≠ 0 = RHS
The correct statement is 3x2/3x2 = 1
17. (3x2+1)/3x2 = 1 + 1 = 2
Solution:
LHS = (3x2+1)/3x2 = (3x2/3x2)+(1/3x2) = 1+(1/3x2) ≠ 2 = RHS
The correct statement is (3x2+1)/3x2 = 1+(1/3x2)
18. 3x/(3x+2) = ½
Solution:
LHS = 3x/(3x+2) ≠ 1/2 = RHS
The correct statement is 3x/(3x+2) = 3x/(3x+2)
19. 3/(4x+3) = 1/4x
Solution:
LHS = 3/(4x+3) ≠ 1/4x
The correct statement is 3/(4x+3) = 3/(4x+3)
20. (4x+5)/4x = 5
Solution:
LHS = (4x+5)/4x = 4x/4x + 5/4x = 1 + 5/4x ≠ 5 = RHS
The correct statement is (4x+5)/4x = 1 + (5/4x)
Solution:
LHS = (7x+5)/5 = (7x/5)+ 5/5 = (7x/5)+1 ≠ 7x = RHS
The correct statement is (7x+5)/5 = (7x/5) +1
