Example 5. Find the product by successive multiplication: \(\left(\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{c}\right),\left(\frac{b}{c}+\frac{c}{a}\right),\left(\frac{c}{a}+\frac{a}{b}\right)\)

Solution: \(\left(\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{c}\right)\left(\frac{b}{c}+\frac{c}{a}\right)\left(\frac{c}{a}+\frac{a}{b}\right)=\left\{\frac{a}{b}\left(\frac{b}{c}+\frac{c}{a}\right)+\frac{b}{c}\left(\frac{b}{c}+\frac{c}{a}\right)\right\}\left(\frac{c}{a}+\frac{a}{b}\right)\)

= \(\left(\frac{a}{c}+\frac{c}{b}+\frac{b^2}{c^2}+\frac{b}{a}\right)\left(\frac{c}{a}+\frac{a}{b}\right)\)

= \(\frac{a}{c}\left(\frac{c}{a}+\frac{a}{b}\right)+\frac{c}{b}\left(\frac{c}{a}+\frac{a}{b}\right)+\frac{b^2}{c^2}\left(\frac{c}{a}+\frac{a}{b}\right)+\frac{b}{a}\left(\frac{c}{a}+\frac{a}{b}\right)\)

Given

(a – b) (a2 + ab + b2) + (b − c) (b2 + bc + c2) + (c− a) (c2 + ca + a2)

= a (a2 + ab + b2) – b (a2 + ab + b2) + b (b2 + bc + c2) – c (b2 + bc + c2) + c (c2 + ca + a2) – a (c2 + ca + a2)

= \(\{\left(a^{-1}\left(a^{-1}-b^{-1}\right)+b^{-1}\left(a^{-1}-b^{-1}\right)\right\}\left(a^{-2}+b^{-2}\right)\)

= \(\left(a^{-2}-a^{-1} b^{-1}+ a^{-1} b^{-1}-b^{-2}\right)\left(a^{-2}+b^{-2}\right)\)

= \(\left(a^{-2}-b^{-2}\right)\left(a^{-2}+b^{-2}\right)\)

= \(a^{-2}\left(a^{-2}+b^{-2}\right)-b^{-2}\left(a^{-2}+b^{-2}\right)\)

= \(a^{-4}+q^{-2} b^{-2}-a^{-2} \cdot b^{-2}-b^{-4}\)

= \(a^{-4}-b^{-4}\)

\(\left(a^{-1}+b^{-1}\right)\left(a^{-1}-b^{-1}\right)\left(a^{-2}+b^{-2}\right)\) = \(a^{-4}-b^{-4}\)

Example 8. Simplify: (a + b + c) (a2 + b2 + c2 – ab – bc – ca)

= a (a2 + b2 + c2 – ab- bc – ca)

+ b (a2 + b2 + c2 – ab- bc – ca)

+ c (a2 + b2 + c2 – ab- bc – ca)

= a3 + ab2 + ac2 – a2b – abc – a2c

+ a2b + b3 + bc2 – ab2 – b2c – abc

+ b2c + c3 – abc – bc2 – ac2

(a + b + c) (a2 + b2 + c2 – ab- bc – ca) = a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc

Algebra Chapter 2 Division

Method of division are of two types

  1. Exact division
  2. Inexact division

In case of Exact division, the remainder zero.

Here Dividend = Divisor x Quotient.

In case of Inexact division, after completion of division, we have quotient and remainder.

Here Dividend = Divisor x Quotient + Remainder.

Example 1. Divide (x2 – 4x – 5) by (x – 5)

  1. Divisor = (x- 5)
  2. Dividend = x2 – 4x – 5

Solution:

WBBSE Solutions For Class 8 Maths Algebra Chapter 2 Multiplication And Division Of Polynomials Division Example 1

∴ The quotient is (x + 1) and remainder is 0.

Example 2. Divide (5x3y2 – 7x2y3 + 3xy4) by xy4

Solution:

WBBSE Solutions For Class 8 Maths Algebra Chapter 2 Multiplication And Division Of Polynomials Division Example 2

∴ The quotient is 5x2 – 7xy + 3y2 and remainder is 0.

Example 3. Divide the first expression by the second:

  1. (a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc), (a + b + c)
  2. (x4 – 2x3 – 15x2 + 16x + 35), (x2 + x – 7)

Solution:

WBBSE Solutions For Class 8 Maths Algebra Chapter 2 Multiplication And Division Of Polynomials Division Example 3-1

∴ Quotient = a2 + b2 + c2 – ab- bc – ca

Remainder = 0

2.

WBBSE Solutions For Class 8 Maths Algebra Chapter 2 Multiplication And Division Of Polynomials Division Example 3-2

∴ Quotient = x2 –  3x – 5

Remainder = 0

Example 4. Divide (a – b) by \(a^{\frac{1}{3}}-b^{\frac{1}{3}}\)

Solution:

WBBSE Solutions For Class 8 Maths Algebra Chapter 2 Multiplication And Division Of Polynomials Division Example 4

∴ Quotient = \(a^{\frac{2}{3}}+a^{\frac{1}{3}} b^{\frac{1}{3}}+b^{\frac{2}{3}}\)

Remainder = 0

Example 5. Find the quotient and the remainder of the following:

  1. (x3 + x2 + 25) by (x + 3),
  2. (81x4 + 4) by (3x – 1)
  3. (9a2 – 4a3 – 5 + a4 -19a) by (7 + a2 – a)

Solution:

WBBSE Solutions For Class 8 Maths Algebra Chapter 2 Multiplication And Division Of Polynomials Division Example 5-1

∴ The required quotient = x2 – 2x + 6 and remainder = 7

2.

WBBSE Solutions For Class 8 Maths Algebra Chapter 2 Multiplication And Division Of Polynomials Division Example 5-2

∴ Quotient = 27x3 + 9x2 + 3x + 1

Remainder = 5

3. Dividend = 9a2 – 4a3 – 5+ a4 – 19a

= a4 – 4a3 + 9a2 – 19a – 5 [In descending power of a]

Divisor = 7 + a2 – a

= a2 – a + 7 (In descending power of a)

WBBSE Solutions For Class 8 Maths Algebra Chapter 2 Multiplication And Division Of Polynomials Division Example 5-3

∴ The Quotient = a2 – 3a-  7

Remainder = 44-5a

Example 6. Divide (6x2 + 11xy + 6y2) by (3x – 2y)

Solution:

WBBSE Solutions For Class 8 Maths Algebra Chapter 2 Multiplication And Division Of Polynomials Division Example 6

∴ Quotient = 2x + 5y

Remainder = 16y2

Example 7. In a division problem the divisor is (x2 – 3x + 5), the quotient is (2x – 7) and remainder.

Solution: Dividend = Divisor x Quotient + Remainder

= [(x2 – 3x + 5) × (2x-7)] + (x + 3)

= [ 2x3 – 7x2 – 6x2 + 21x + 10x – 35] +[ x + 3 ]

= 2x3 – 13x2 + 32x – 32

Example 8. Choose the correct answer:

1. (x – 3)(x + 2) =

  1. x2 – 5x – 6
  2. x2 – x – 6
  3. x2 – x + 6
  4. x2 -5x + 6

Solution: (x-3) (x+2)

= x(x+2)- 3(x+2)

= x2 + 2x – 3x – 6 = x2 – x – 6

∴ The correct answer is 2. x2 – x – 6

2. (8x8 – 8x2 – 36x) ÷ 4x =

  1. 2x8 – 2x2 – 9
  2. 2x8 – 8x – 36
  3. 2x7 – 2x – 9
  4. 2x7 – 2x – 18

Solution: \(\frac{8 x^8-8 x^2-36 x}{4 x}=2 x^7-2 x-9\)

∴ The correct answer is 3. 2x7 – 2x – 9

3. (x2 – 14x + 45 ÷ (x – 5) =

  1. x – 9
  2. x + 5
  3. 9 – x
  4. x + 9

Solution:

WBBSE Solutions For Class 8 Maths Algebra Chapter 2 Multiplication And Division Of Polynomials Division Example 8-3

∴ So the correct answer is 1. x – 9

Example 9. Write ‘True’ or ‘False’:

1. (x – a) (x – b) (x – c)…. (x − z) = 1

Solution: (x – a) (x – b) (x – c)…… (x – z)

= (x − a) (x – b) (x − c)….. (x – x) (x − y) (x − z)

= (x – a) (x – b) (x – c)…. (0) (x − y) (x – z) = 0

∴ The statement is false.

2. \(\left(\frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d}\right)\left(\frac{a}{b}-\frac{c}{d}\right)\left(\frac{a^2}{b^2}+\frac{c^2}{d^2}\right)\)=\(\frac{a^4}{b^4}-\frac{c^4}{d^4}\)

Solution:

Given that

\(\left(\frac{a}{b}+\frac{c}{d}\right)\left(\frac{a}{b}-\frac{c}{d}\right)\left(\frac{a^2}{b^2}+\frac{c^2}{d^2}\right)=\left(\frac{a^2}{b^2}-\frac{c^2}{d^2}\right)\left(\frac{a^2}{b^2}+\frac{c^2}{d^2}\right)\)

= \(\left(\frac{a^2}{b^2}\right)^2-\left(\frac{c^2}{d^2}\right)^2=\frac{a^4}{b^4}-\frac{c^4}{d^4}\)

∴ So the statement is true.

3. (x2 + 11x + 27) ÷ (x + 6) = x + 5 + \(\frac{(-3)}{x+6}\)

Solution:

WBBSE Solutions For Class 8 Maths Algebra Chapter 2 Multiplication And Division Of Polynomials Division Example 9-3

∴ \(\left(x^2+11 x+27\right) \div(x+6)=(x+5)+\left(-\frac{3}{x+6}\right)\)

∴ So the statement is true.

Example 10. Fill in the blanks:

1. \((-2 a)^2 \times(-3 a)^3 \times\left(-\frac{1}{3} a\right)^3=\)________

Solution: \((-2 a)^2 \times(-3 a)^3 \times\left(-\frac{1}{3} a\right)^3\)

= \(4 a^2 \times-27 a^3 \times-\frac{1}{27} a^3=4 a^2\)

2. (x2 + xy + y2) (x − y) = ________

Solution: (x2 + xy + y2) (x − y)

= ( (x2 + xy + y2) × (x))
– ((y) × (x2 + xy + y2))

= x3 + x2y + xy2  – x2y – xy2  – y3

= x3 – y3

(x2 + xy + y2) (x − y) = = x3 – y3
