25. Suppose the bionomial polynomial ax2 + bx + c of zeroes is a and b.

∴ α + β = –3 and αβ = 2

b −3 c 2
∴–a = and a =
1 1
∴ a = 1, b = 3, c = 2

So, one bionomial polynomial which fits the given conditions is x2 + 3x + 2. You can check that any other bionomial
polynomial that fits these conditions will be of the form k(x2  +  3x  +  2), where k is real.

26. p(x) = 2x2 + 6x + 3

a = 2, b = 6, c = 3

Product of zeroes = a =

27. 2x2 – 6x + 3 = 0

∴ a = 2, b = – 6 and c = 3

∴ b2 – 4ac = (– 6)2 – 4(2)(3) = 36 – 24 = 12

Here b2 – 4ac > 0, therefore, there are distinct real roots exist for given equation.

an = a + (n – 1)d
∴ 50 = 5 + (n – 1)3
∴ 50 – 5 = (n – 1)3
∴ 45 = (n – 1)3

∴ n – 1 = 15
∴ n = 16

an = a + (n – 1)d

\ a30 = 10 + (30 – 1) (– 3) = 10 + (29)(–3) = 10 – 87 = –77

Thus, the distance between the given points is 4 2 .

AB = ^5 − 6h2 + ]− 2 − 4g2 = 1 + 36 = 37

BC = ^6 − 7h2 + ]4 + 2g2 = 1 + 36 = 37

AC = ^5 − 7h2 + ]− 2 + 2g2 = 4+0 = 4 = 2

Here, since PQ = QR in ∆ PQR is an isosceles triangle,

thus, the points (5, – 2), (6, 4) and (7, – 2) are the vertices of the isosceles triangle.

∴ Volume of cube = x3
∴ 64 = x3
∴ x = 4 cm
l = 2x = 2 × 4 = 8 cm, b = x = 4 cm and

∴ Area of rectangle formed = 2 (lb + bh + hl)

Bhavin’s present age = x
Vrutik’s present age = y
Five years ago,
Bhavin = x – 5
Vrutik = y – 5
∴ As per condition (x – 5) = 3 (y – 5)
∴ x – 5 = 3y – 15
∴ x – 3y = – 15 + 5
∴ x – 3y = – 10 ...(1)
10 years from now,
Bhavin will be x + 0 & Vrutik will be y + 10
As per condition (x + 10) = 2 (y + 10)
∴ x + 10 = 2y + 20
∴ x – 2y = 20 – 10
∴ x – 2y = 10 ...(2)
Subtract (2) from (1),
x – 3y = –10
x – 2y = 10
–+    +
∴ –y + 20 = 0
∴ y = – 20
y = 20
Put y = 20 in eqn (1),
x – 3y = –10
∴ x – 3(20) = –10
∴ x – 60 = –10
∴ x = –10 + 60
∴ x = 50
Bhavin’s present age = 50 years, Vrutik’s present age = 20 years.

Now, a12 = 37
∴ a + 11d = 37
∴ a + 11(3) = 37
∴ a + 33 = 37
∴ a = 37 – 33
∴ a=4

42. Let the point P on x-axis be (x, 0) which is at equal distances from points A (2, – 5) and B (– 2, 9).

\ PA = PB

\ PA2 = PB2

\ (x – 2)2 + (0 + 5)2 = (x + 2)2 + (0 – 9)2

\ x2 – 4x + 4 + 25 = x2 + 4x + 4 + 81

\ – 4x – 4x = 4 + 81 – 4 – 25

\ – 8x = 56

\x=–7

Hence, the required point on the x-axis is (– 7, 0).

43. Given : A circle with centre O, a point P lying outside the circle with two tangents PQ, PR on the circle from P.
To prove : PQ = PR
Q
Figure :

P O

Proof : Join OP, OQ and OR. Then ∠OQP and ∠ORP are right angles because these are angles between the radii and
tangents and according to theorem 10.1 they are right angles.

Now, in right triangles OQP and ORP,

OQ = OR (Radii of the same circle)

OP = OP (Common)

∠OQP = ∠ORP (Right angle)

Therefore, ∆ OQP ≅ ∆ ORP (RHS)

This gives, PQ = PR (CPCT)

A M B

Here, chord AB of  (0, 5) touches. (0, 3) at point M.

Therefore, OM ⊥ AB and M is the midpoint of AB.

In ∆ OMA; ∠OMA = 90°

∴ AM2 + OM2 = OA2 (Pythagoras Theorem)

∴ AM2 + (3)2 = (5)2

∴ AM2 + 9 = 25

∴ AM2 = 25 – 9

∴ AM2 = 16

∴ AM = 4

But, AB = 2AM = 2 × 4

∴ AB = 8

Hence, the length of chord AB is 8 cm.

then the other odd positive integer is x + 2

their sum of squares = x2 + (x + 2)2

= x2 + x2 + 4x + 4

= 2x2 + 4x + 4

Given that their sum of squares = 290

2x2 + 4x + 4 = 290

2x2 + 4x = 290 – 4 = 286

2x2 + 4x – 286 = 0

2(x2 + 2x – 143) = 0

x2 + 2x – 143 = 0

x2 + 13x – 11x – 143 = 0

x(x + 13) – 11 (x + 13) = 0

(x – 11) (x + 13) = 0

(x – 11) = 0, OR (x + 13) = 0

Therefore, x = 11 or – 13

We always take positive value of x

So, x = 11 and (x + 2) = 11 + 2 = 13

Therefore, the odd positive integers are 11 and 13.

50. Here, a3 = 5
∴ a + 2d = 5 ...(1)
a7 = 9
∴ a + 6d = 9 ...(2)
Subtract equation (2) by (1),
(a + 2d) – (a + 6d) = 5 – 9
∴ a + 2d – a – 6d = –4
∴ – 4d = –4
∴ d = 1
Put d = 1 in equation (1),

a + 2d = 5

∴ a + 2(1) = 5

∴ a + 2 = 5

∴ a = 3

∴ a1 = a = 3

a2 = a + d = 3 + 1 = 4

a3 = a + 2d = 3 + 2(1) = 3 + 2 = 5

a4 = a + 3d = 3 + 3(1) = 3 + 3 = 6

Hence, the required AP is 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ........
