(a) 2, – 2 (b) 2x (c) 0, – 2 (d) 0

Now, p(x) = 0 ⇒ –8x = 0 ⇒ x = 0

SECTION – B
Questions 11 to 14 carry 2 marks each.

11. Represent 2 on the real number line.

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 2 -

 Ans: Using Pythagoras theorem, 2  12  12
OB = OA2  AB 2  2
Hence, take OA = 1 unit on the number line and AB = 1 unit, which is perpendicular to OA.
With O as centre and OB as radius, we draw an arc to intersect the number line at P. Then P
corresponds to 2 on the number line as shown in figure.
Clearly, OP = OB = 2

12. Simplify 4
81  8( 3 216)  15( 5 32)  225 .
Ans:

Hence, 4 81  8( 3 216)  15( 5 32)  225

= 3 – 8 × 6 + 15 × 2 + 15 = 3 – 48 + 30 + 15 = 48 – 48 = 0

13. If f(x) = x2 – 4x + 6, find f(1) – f(–1)

Ans: f(1) = (1)2 – 4 × 1 + 6 = 1 – 4 + 6 = 3
f(–1) = (–1)2 – 4(–1) + 6 = 1 + 4 + 6 = 11
f(1) – f(–1) = 3 – 11 = – 8

14. Using suitable identity, evaluate (–32)3 + (18)3 + (14)3

Ans: Here, we find that
a + b + c = – 32 + 18 + 14 = – 32 + 32 = 0
Thus, if a + b + c = 0, then a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc
(–32)3 + (18)3 + (14)3 = 3 × (–32) × 18 × 14 = –24192

Find the value of x, if 5 ×3 = 225.
Ans:

17. If 2x + 3y = 12 and xy = 6, find the value of 8x3 + 27y3.

Ans: We know that
(x + y)3 = x3 + y3 + 3xy(x + y)
x3 + y3 = (x + y)3 – 3xy(x + y)
Now, 8x3 + 27y3 = (2x)3 + (3y)3 = (2x + 3y)3 – 3(2x)(3y)(2x + 3y)
= 123 – 18 × 6 × 12 [Given 2x + 3y = 12 and xy = 6]
= 1728 – 1296 = 432
Hence, 8x3 + 27y3 = 432

SECTION – D
Questions 18 carry 5 marks each.

18. Find the value of m and n so that the polynomial f(x) = x3 – 6x2 + mx – n is exactly divisible by
(x –1) as well as (x – 2).
Ans: If f(x) is exactly divisible by (x – 1) and (x – 2), then (x – 1) and (x – 2) are factors of p(x).
By the given condition, we have
f(1) = 0 and f(2) = 0
When f(1) = 0,
13 – 6(1)2 + m(1) – n = 0
1–6+m–n=0
m–n=5 ...(i)
When f(2) = 0,
23 – 6(2)2 + m(2) – n = 0
8 – 24 + 2m – n = 0
2m – n = 16 ...(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get
m = 11
and substitute in (i), we get n = 6
Hence, m = 11 and n = 6

SECTION – E (Case Study Based Questions)

Questions 19 to 20 carry 4 marks each.

19. Mr. Kumar, a Mathematics teacher explained some key points of unit 1 of class IX to his
students. Some are given here.
 There are infinite rational numbers between any two rational numbers.
 Rationalisation of a denominator means to change the irrational denominator to rational
form.
 A number is irrational if its decimal form is non-terminating non-recurring

On the basis of these key points, Answer the following questions

(a) What is the reciprocal of 2 + 3 ?
(b) Find a rational number between 2 and 3
(c) Simplify ( 3  7 )3
OR
4
(c) Express in decimal form and state the kind of decimal expansion.

OR
4
(c)  0.571428571428...  0.571428

Therefore, the decimal expansion of the given rational number is non-terminating recurring
(repeating).

20. In a restaurant at the time of payment, the owner says that you divide x3 – 3x2 – x + 6 by x – 3
and pay that money.

(a) If the owner returns the balance, then find the amount paid and the remaining balance.
(b) Verify whether the following are zeroes of the polynomial, indicated against them.
p(x) = x3 – 3x2 + 4x – 12, x = 3
OR
(b) Find the value of each of the following polynomials at the indicated value of variable:
p(y) = 5y2 – 3y + 7 at y = 1, – 1
Ans: (a) Let p(x) = x3 – 3x2 – x + 6
and g(x) = x – 3
If (x – 3) is factor p(x), then p(3) must be zero, otherwise not. So,
p(3) = 33 – 3 . (3)2 – 3 + 6 = 27 – 27 – 3 + 6 = 3 ≠ 0
Therefore, if the amount paid is x3 – 3x2 – x + 6, then owner must return 3 to the payee.
(b) p(x) = x3 – 3x2 + 4x – 12
p(3) = 33 – 3(3)2 + 4(3) – 12 = 27 – 27 + 12 – 12 = 0
So, x = 3 is a zero of the polynomial p(x) = x3 – 3x2 + 4x – 12
OR
2
(b) p(y) = 5y – 3y + 7
At y = 1, p(1) = 5(1)2 – 3(1) + 7 = 5 – 3 + 7 = 9
and at y = – 1, p(– 1) = 5(– 1)2 – 3(– 1) + 7 = 5 + 3 + 7 = 15
