2. POLYNOMIALS
1. Assertion (A) : Polynomial x2 + 4x has two real zeroes.
Reason (R) : Zeroes of the polynomial x2 + ax (a ≠ 0) are 0 and a.
2. Assertion (A) : The polynomial p(x) = x2 + 3x + 3 has two real zeroes.
Reason (R) : A quadratic polynomial can have at most two real zeroes.
3. Assertion (A) : If the graph of a polynomial touches x-axis at only one point, then the polynomial
cannot be a quadratic polynomial
Reason (R) : A polynomial of degree n(n > 1) can have at most n zeroes
4. Assertion (A) : Zeroes of a polynomial p(x) = x2 – 2x – 3 are – 1 and 3.
Reason (R) : The graph of polynomial p(x) = x3 – 2x – 3 intersects x-axis at (– 1, 0) and (3, 0).
5. Assertion (A) : If the graph of a polynomial intersects the x - axis at exactly two points, then the
number of zeroes of that polynomial is 2.
Reason (R) : The number of zeroes of a polynomial is equal to the number of points where the
graph of the polynomial intersects x - axis.
