Detailed Solutions

1. Let (5x 2 – 7x + 2) + p(x) = 7x 2 – 1.


Then, p(x) = (7x 2 – 1) – (5x 2 – 7x + 2) = 2x 2 + 7x – 3. Ans.(2)
2. Let (1 – x + x 2 – 2x 3) + p(x) = x 3.
Then, p(x) = x 3 – (1 – x + x 2 – 2x 3) = 3x 3 – x 2 + x + 1. Ans.(3)
3. Let (4x 2 + 3x – 7) + (3x 2 + 6x + 5) + p(x) = 1.
Then, (7x 2 + 9x – 2) + p(x) = 1 or p(x) = 3 – 9x – 7x 2. Ans.(2)
4. Let (6x3 – 2 x2 + 9x + 2) – p(x) = 10x3 – x 2 – 7x + 10
