CBSE Test Paper 01
CH-2 Polynomials

Solution

1. (d) 6
Explanation:
p(x) = x + 3
And p(-x) = -x + 3
Then, p(x) + p(-x)
=x+3-x+3
=6
2. (a) 3xyz
Explanation:
=>
=>
=> If x+y+z = 0, then
3xyz
3. (a) 0
Explanation: The degree of any constant term 5 (say)

We can write 5 as 5 x 1 = 5xo [Since ao= 1]


Therefore the degree of any constant term is 0
4. (b)
Explanation: = =
5. (b) 27
Explanation: = = =
Therefore, the coefficient of , in the expansion of is
27.
6. monomial
7. degree
8. We have,

(-3x + y + z)2

Using identity (a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca


= (-3x)2 + y2 + z2 + 2 (-3x) y+2 y z+2 z (-3x)

= 9x2 + y2 + z2 - 6xy + 2yz - 6zx


9. We have,
0.54 0.54 - 0.46 0.46

= (0.54)2 - (0.46)2 = (0.54 + 0.46)(0.54 - 0.46) = 1 0.08 = 0.08


10. 185 185 - 15 15
[Using ]

200 170 = 34000


11.
Using identity

We get, 105 108 = 1002 + (5 + 8)100 + 5 8

12. (x + y)3 - (x - y)3 - 6y(x + y)(x - y)

= (x + y)3 - (x - y)3 - 3.2y(x + y)(x - y)

= (x + y)3 - (x - y)3 - 3 (x + y - x + y)(x + y)(x - y)

= [x + y - x + y)]3 [ a3 - b3 - 3ab(a - b) = (a - b)3]

=(2y)3 = 8y3

13. Let x = a2 - b2, y = b2 - c2 and z = c2 - a2. Then,

x + y + z = a2 - b2 + b2 - c2 + c2 - a2 = 0

x3 + y3 + z3 = 3xyz

(a2 - b2)3 + (b2 - c2)3 + (c2 - a2)3 = 3(a2 - b2)(b2 - c2)(c2 - a2)

(a2 - b2)3 + (b2 - c2)3 + (c2 - a2)3 = 3(a + b)(a - b)(b + c)(b - c)(c + a)(c - a)

(a2 - b2)3 + (b2 - c2)3 + (c2 - a2)3 = 3(a + b)(b + c)(c + a)(a - b)(b - c)(c - a)

14. Let f(x) = px2 + 5x + r be the given polynomial. Since x - 2 and are factors of f(x).
f(2) = 0 and =0

p 22 + 5 2 + r = 0 and p( )2 + 5 +r=0
4p + 10 + r = 0 and +r=0
4p + r = -10 and
4p + r = -10 and p + 4r + 10 = 0
4p + r = -10 and p + 4r = -10
4p + r = p + 4r [RHS of the two equations are equal]
3p = 3r p=r

15. Let p(z) = az3 + 4z2 + 3z - 4

And q(z) = z3 - 4z + a
As these two polynomials leave the same remainder, when divided by z - 3, then p(3) =
q(3).

p(3) = a(3)3 + 4(3)2 + 3(3) - 4


= 27a + 36 + 9 - 4
Or p(3) = 27a + 41

And q(3) = (3)3 - 4(3) + a


= 27 - 12 + a = 15 + a
Now, p(3) = q(3)
27a + 41 = 15 + a
26a = -26; a = -1
Hence, the required value of a = -1.
