vi. f(x)= x4 +5x3- 8x2 -45x-9

a) Find Remainder when f(x) is divided by (x-3)
b) Use factor theorem to show that (x+3) is a factor of f(x)
Sol.
a) f(x)= x4 +5x3- 8x2 -45x-9
According to remainder theorem if a polynomial p(x) is divided by (x-a) then p(a) is called remainder. 1 mark
So put x=3 in f(x)
f(3)=34 +5(33)- 8(32)-45(3)-9
=81+5(27)-8(9)-135-9
= 81+135-72-135-9
=0 1 mark
Hence remainder is zero

a) f(x)= x4 +5x3- 8x2 -45x-9

According to Factor theorem if a polynomial p(x) is divided by (x-a) and p(a) = 0 then (x-a) is called factor of
p(x) 1 mark
So put x=-3 in f(x)
f(-3)=(-3)4 +5(-3)3- 8(-3)2-45(-3)-9
=81+5(-27)-8(9)+135-9
= 81-135-72+135-9
=0
Since remainder is zero so (x+3) is factor off(x) 1 mark

D E C

A B
Proof:
Statements Reasons
Area of parallelogram ABCD= area of quad ABED + area of ∆𝐶𝐵𝐸 ----------i Area addition axiom
Area of parallelogram ABEF= area of quad ABED + area of ∆𝐷𝐴𝐹 ------------ii Area addition axiom
In ∆CBE ↔ ∆DAF
𝑚𝐶𝐵 = 𝑚𝐷𝐴 Opposite sides of parallelogram
𝑚𝐵𝐸 = 𝑚𝐴𝐹 Opposite sides of parallelogram
𝑚 < 𝐶𝐵𝐸 = 𝑚 < 𝐷𝐴𝐹 𝐵𝐶 || 𝐴𝐷 and 𝐵𝐸 || 𝐴𝐹
∆CBE ≅ ∆DAF S.A.S congruent axiom
area of∆CBE = area of ∆DAF …………….iii Congruent area axiom
Hence Area of parallelogram ABCD =Area of parallelogram ABEF From eq. I, eq. ii and eq. iii
