CH-2 Polynomials

Solution

1. (c)
Explanation:

x2 - 9

= x2 - 32

Using identity a2 - b2 = (a + b)(a - b)

= (x + 3)(x - 3)

2. (a) 1
Explanation: A polynomial of degree 1 is called a linear polynomial.

Its general form is

3. (b)
Explanation:

is a polynomial in one variable x and also the powers of each term is a


whole number.

4. (b) 4
Explanation: Given: p(x) = (x – 1)(x + 1), then

p(2) + p(1) – p(0)

= 4
5. (c) p = r

=>

=>

=> ...............(i)

Also,

=>

=>

=>

=> ...............(ii)

From eq.(i) and eq.(ii), we get

=>

6. 11

7. 0

8. According to the question,


9. We have,

x4 + x2 + 1

= (x4 + 2x2 + 1) - x2

= (x2 + 1)2 - x2 = (x2 + 1 - x)(x2 + 1 + x) = (x2 - x + 1)(x2 + x + 1)

10. Since is a factor of

a + b + c + d = -a + b - c + d = 0


a + c = 0

11. We know that if the polynomial is a factor of , then on dividing the


polynomial by , we must get the remainder as 0.
We need to find the zero of the polynomial 7 + 3x

While applying the remainder theorem, we need to put the zero of the polynomial
in the polynomial ,to get

We conclude that on dividing the polynomial by 7 + 3x, we will get the


remainder as which is not 0.
Therefore, we conclude that 7 + 3x is not a factor of

12. In order to factorise 84 - 2r - 2r2, we have to find two numbers p and q such that p + q
= -2 and pq = - 168.
Clearly, (-14) + 12 = -2 and (-14) × 12 = -168.
So, we write the middle term - 2r as (-14r) + 12r.
84 - 2r - 2r2 = -2r2 - 2r + 84

= -2r2 - 14r + 12r + 84


= -2r(r + 7) + 12(r + 7)
= (r + 7)(-2r + 12)
= -2(r + 7)(r - 6) = -2(r - 6)(r + 7)

13.
The expression can be written as

Using identity

Therefore, after factorizing the expression

14. We have,

4x2 + 20x + 25 = (2x)2 + 2(2x)(5) + (5)2

= (2x + 5)2 [ a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2]


= (2x + 5)(2x + 5)

15. Let f (x) = 3x3 + ax2 + 3x + 5

and g(x) = 4x3+ x2 - 2x + a


Here, the zero of (x - 2) is x = 2 [ x - 2 = 0 x = 2]
Where f(x) and g(x) are divided by (x - 2), then we get the remainders R1 and R2

f(2) = 3(2)3 + a(2)2 + 3(2) + 5


= 24 + 4a + 6 + 5 = 35 + 4a = R1

and g(2) = 4(2)3 + (2)2 - 2(2) + a


= 32 + 4 - 4 + a = 32 + a = R2

Also, R1 - R2 = 9

35 + 4a - (32 + a) = 9
3 + 3a = 9 3a = 6 a = 2
