Question 1. Factorize: qr – pr + qs – ps

Solution:

Given: qr- pr + qs – ps

Grouping similar terms together we get = qr + qs – pr -ps

Taking the similar terms common we get = q(r + s) – p[r + s]

Therefore, as (r + s) is common = (r + s) (q – p) 

Question 2. Factorize: p²q – pr² – pq + r²

Solution:

Given: p²q – pr² – pq + r2

Grouping similar terms together we get = p2q – pq – pr2 + r2

Taking the similar terms common we get = pq(p – 1)-r2(p – 1)

Therefore, as (p – 1) is common = (p – 1) (pq – r2)

Question 3. Factorize: 1 + x + xy + x2y

Solution:

Given: 1 + x + xy + x2y

Taking the similar terms common we get = 1 (1 + x) + xy(1 + x)

Therefore, as (1 + x) is common = (1 + x) (1 + xy) 

Question 4. Factorize: ax + ay – bx – by

Solution:

Given: ax + ay – bx – by

Taking the similar terms common we get = (1 + x) (1 + xy)

Question 9. Factorize: axy + bcxy – az – bcz

Solution:

Given: axy + bcxy – az – bcz

Taking the similar terms common we get = xy (a + bc) – z (a + bc)

Therefore, as (a + bc) is common = (a + bc) (xy – z)

Solution:

Given: lm2 – mn2 – lm + n2

Solution:

Given: 6xy + 6 – 9y – 4x

Grouping similar terms together we get = 6xy – 4x – 9y + 6

Taking the similar terms common we get = 2x (3y – 2) – 3 (3y – 2)

Therefore, as (3y – 2) is common = (3y – 2) (2x – 3)

Question 13. Factorize: x2 – 2ax – 2ab + bx

Solution:

Given: x2 – 2ax – 2ab + bx

Grouping similar term together we get = x2 – 2ax + bx – 2ab

Taking the similar terms common we get = x (x – 2a) + b (x – 2a)

Therefore, as (x – 2a) is common = (x – 2a) (x + b)

Question 14. Factorize: x3 – 2x2y + 3xy2 – 6y3

Solution:

Given: x3 – 2x2y + 3xy2 – 6y3

Taking the similar terms common we get = x2 (x – 2y) + 3y2 (x – 2y)
