Q10(i):
Factorise each of the following: (i) $27y^3 + 125z^3$ [Hint : See Question 9.]

Solution :

Initial Setup & Algebraic Analysis

We are tasked with factorising the following binomial expression:

$27y^3 + 125z^3$

To factorise this polynomial, we must first analyze the coefficients and the degrees of the variables to identify any underlying algebraic structures. We observe that both terms are perfect cubes.

Step 1: Expressing Terms as Perfect Cubes

We determine the cube roots of the numerical coefficients and the variables:

  • For the first term: The prime factorization of $27$ is $3 \times 3 \times 3 = 3^3$. Therefore, $27y^3$ can be rewritten as $(3y)^3$ [Applying the power of a product rule: $x^n y^n = (xy)^n$].
  • For the second term: The prime factorization of $125$ is $5 \times 5 \times 5 = 5^3$. Therefore, $125z^3$ can be rewritten as $(5z)^3$.

Rewriting the original expression, we get:

$(3y)^3 + (5z)^3$

Step 2: Stating the Relevant Algebraic Identity

The expression is now explicitly in the form of the sum of two cubes, $a^3 + b^3$. [Per the fundamental algebraic identity for the sum of cubes, derived from the expansion of $(a+b)^3 - 3ab(a+b)$], we know that:

$a^3 + b^3 = (a + b)(a^2 - ab + b^2)$

a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² - ab + b²) Substitute: a = 3y, b = 5z (3y)³ + (5z)³ = (3y + 5z)((3y)² - (3y)(5z) + (5z)²) = (3y + 5z)(9y² - 15yz + 25z²)

Step 3: Substitution and Expansion

By mapping our terms to the identity, we set $a = 3y$ and $b = 5z$. Substituting these into the right-hand side of the identity yields:

$(3y)^3 + (5z)^3 = (3y + 5z) \left[ (3y)^2 - (3y)(5z) + (5z)^2 \right]$

Step 4: Simplification of the Quadratic Factor

We must now rigorously simplify each term inside the second set of parentheses (the quadratic trinomial factor):

  • Square of the first term: $(3y)^2 = 3^2 \cdot y^2 = 9y^2$
  • Product of the two terms: $(3y)(5z) = (3 \cdot 5)(y \cdot z) = 15yz$
  • Square of the second term: $(5z)^2 = 5^2 \cdot z^2 = 25z^2$

Replacing the unsimplified terms in our expanded equation with these calculated values, we obtain the final factorised expression:

$(3y + 5z)(9y^2 - 15yz + 25z^2)$


Final Solution: The completely factorised form of $27y^3 + 125z^3$ is $(3y + 5z)(9y^2 - 15yz + 25z^2)$.

I have experience teaching Mathematics to Grade 10 students with a focus on strengthening fundamental concepts and preparing them for board examinations. I teach important topics such as Real Numbers, Polynomials, Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables, Quadratic Equations, Arithmetic Progressions, Trigonometry, Coordinate Geometry, Statistics, and Probability. My teaching approach involves explaining concepts clearly, solving problems step by step, and giving regular practice from NCERT and previous years’ board exam papers. I also conduct tests, revision classes, and doubt-clearing sessions to track students’ progress. My goal is to make mathematics simple and interesting while helping students build confidence and achieve good results in their Grade 10 board exams.
