Class 8 Chapter 12 Maths Important Formulas

This document discusses various methods of factorizing algebraic expressions, including: 1) Writing expressions as a product of irreducible factors such as numbers and variables. 2) Using the common factor method to factorize each term and find common factors. 3) Applying factorizing by regrouping terms and finding binomial factors in groups. 4) Using factorizing identities like (a + b)2 and (a - b)2. 5) Factorizing quadratic expressions of the form x2 + px + q into (x + a)(x + b) where ab = q and a + b = p.

Important Formulas
Chapter 12 - Factorisation

i
Factorisation of algebraic expression
When we factorise an algebraic expression, we write it as a product of factors. These

rth
factors may be numbers, algebraic variables or algebraic expressions

The expression 6x (x - 2). It can be written as a product of factors.


2,3, x and (x - 2)
6x (x - 2). =2×3× x× (x - 2)
The factors 2,3, x and (x +2) are irreducible factors of 6x (x + 2).

Method of Factorisation

Name
Common factor method
ya Working
1) We can look at each of the term in the
algebraic expression, factorize each term
2) Then find common factors to factorize the
expression
Example
2x+4
id
=2(x+2)

Factorisation by regrouping terms 1) First we see common factor across all the
terms
2) we look at grouping the terms and check if
we find binomial factor from both the groups.
3) Take the common Binomial factor out
Example
eV

2xy + 3x + 2y + 3
=2×x×y+3×x+2×y+3
= x × (2y + 3) + 1 × (2y + 3)
= (2y + 3) (x + 1)

Factorisation using identities Use the below identities to factorise it


(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
(a - b)2 = a2 - 2ab + b2
(a + b) (a – b) = a2– b2

Factorisation of the form (x+a)(x+b) Given x2+ px + q,

1) we find two factors a and b of q (i.e., the


constant term) such that
ab = q and a + b = p
2) Now expression can be written

i
x2+ (a + b) x + ab
or x2 + ax + bx + ab

rth
or x(x + a) + b(x + a)
or (x + a) (x + b) which are the required
factors.
Example
x2– 7x+ 12
Now 12 = 3 × 4 and 3 + 4 = 7
=x2 – 3x – 4x + 12
= x (x –3) – 4 (x –3) = (x –3) (x – 4)

Division of algebraic expression


ya
Division of algebraic expression is performed by Factorisation of both the numerator and denominator
and then cancelling the common factors.
Steps of Division
1) Identify the Numerator and denominator
2) Factorise both the Numerator and denominator by the technique of Factorisation using
common factor, regrouping, identities and splitting
3) Identify the common factor between numerator and denominator
4) Cancel the common factors and finalize the result
id
Example
48 (x2yz + xy2z + xyz2) /4xyz
=48xyz (x + y + z)/4xyz
= 4 ×12×xyz (x + y + z) /4xyz
= 12 (x + y + z)

Here Dividend=48 (x2yz + xy2z + xyz2)


eV

Divisor=4xyz
Quotient=12 (x + y + z)

So, we have
Dividend = Divisor × Quotient.
In general, however, the relation is
Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
When reminder is not zero
