Q5(ii):
Factorise:
(ii) $2x^2 + y^2 + 8z^2 – 2\sqrt{2}xy + 4\sqrt{2}yz – 8xz$
Solution :
Given Polynomial & Algebraic Foundation
We are tasked with factorising the following multivariable polynomial of degree 2:
$P(x,y,z) = 2x^2 + y^2 + 8z^2 - 2\sqrt{2}xy + 4\sqrt{2}yz - 8xz$
The structure of this expression—comprising three squared terms and three cross-product terms—directly corresponds to the algebraic identity for the square of a trinomial. [Per the standard algebraic expansion theorem]:
$(a + b + c)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca$
Step 1: Extracting the Base Magnitudes
We begin by equating the pure squared terms from the given polynomial to the squared terms in the identity to find the absolute values of $a$, $b$, and $c$.
- $a^2 = 2x^2 \implies |a| = \sqrt{2}x$
- $b^2 = y^2 \implies |b| = y$
- $c^2 = 8z^2 \implies |c| = \sqrt{8}z = 2\sqrt{2}z$ [Since $\sqrt{8} = \sqrt{4 \times 2} = 2\sqrt{2}$]
Step 2: Determining the Algebraic Signs
To assign the correct positive ($+$) or negative ($-$) signs to $a$, $b$, and $c$, we must analyze the signs of the cross-product terms in the given polynomial:
| Cross-Product Term | Given Value | Sign Analysis |
|---|---|---|
| $2ab$ | $-2\sqrt{2}xy$ | Negative. [Implies $a$ and $b$ have opposite signs]. |
| $2bc$ | $+4\sqrt{2}yz$ | Positive. [Implies $b$ and $c$ have the same sign]. |
| $2ca$ | $-8xz$ | Negative. [Implies $c$ and $a$ have opposite signs]. |
From the analysis above, $b$ and $c$ share the same sign, while $a$ has the opposite sign to both. We can conventionally set $b$ and $c$ as positive, which forces $a$ to be negative. Therefore, we define our terms as:
- $a = -\sqrt{2}x$
- $b = y$
- $c = 2\sqrt{2}z$
Note: Alternatively, setting $a$ as positive forces $b$ and $c$ to be negative. Both conventions are mathematically equivalent.
Step 3: Verifying the Cross-Product Terms
Before finalizing the factorization, we must rigorously verify that our chosen terms reconstruct the original polynomial exactly.
- Check $2ab$: $2(-\sqrt{2}x)(y) = -2\sqrt{2}xy$ (Matches the given term)
- Check $2bc$: $2(y)(2\sqrt{2}z) = 4\sqrt{2}yz$ (Matches the given term)
- Check $2ca$: $2(2\sqrt{2}z)(-\sqrt{2}x) = -4(\sqrt{2} \cdot \sqrt{2})xz = -4(2)xz = -8xz$ (Matches the given term)
Step 4: Constructing the Factored Form
Since all terms perfectly align with the identity $(a + b + c)^2$, we substitute our derived values of $a$, $b$, and $c$ into the factored form.
$(a + b + c)^2 = (-\sqrt{2}x + y + 2\sqrt{2}z)^2$
To express this as a product of its factors, we write the squared binomial as the product of two identical trinomials.
Final Solution: The factorised form of the polynomial is $(-\sqrt{2}x + y + 2\sqrt{2}z)(-\sqrt{2}x + y + 2\sqrt{2}z)$.
(Note: Factoring out a $-1$ yields the equally valid alternative form: $(\sqrt{2}x - y - 2\sqrt{2}z)(\sqrt{2}x - y - 2\sqrt{2}z)$).

I am a strong believer in concept-based gain of knowledge. I start from scratch while teaching the very basic concepts and take my students to a level where they have a deep understanding of the subject. Once they understand the concept, the next step is that practice a lot of questions/numerical/problem in the class itself as practice is the key to retain knowledge. I always refer to prescribed books by CBSE/ICSE board but always encourage students to refer additional 1 or 2 books based on their speed to practice. In last I provide them enough homework to practice at home and send me the doubts before the next class. Also for 10th students, we prepare right from beginning by covering the previous year questions and this approach till date have been fruitful as most of my students excel in the board exams

Coaching is about improvising a student from where he/she is at. Not about converting an already bright student into an achiever. It should be obvious. The whole idea of ONE ON ONE coaching is to improvise and to elimate the problems in a detailed manner, exactly the way a student desires. To connect and respond to a student cannot be everybodys cup of tea. This is where a capable one comes in to fill the gaps where modern day educationalists fail to fill.
