Solutions to Worksheet – 3 Polynomials

(2020–21)
Q1: Factorise the following
 i) 2x^2 - 7x - 15 = 2x^2 - 10x + 3x - 15 = 2x(x - 5) + 3(x - 5) = (x - 5)(2x + 3)
 ii) 25x^2 + 9y^2 + 9z^2 - 30xy - 18yz + 30z x = (5x - 3y)^2 + (3z)^2 - 2(5x - 3y)(3z) =
((5x - 3y) - 3z)^2 = (5x - 3y - 3z)^2
 iii) x^3 - 6x^2 + 11x - 6 = (x - 1)(x - 2)(x - 3)

Q2: Expand using identities


 i) (3a - 5b - c)^2 = 9a^2 + 25b^2 + c^2 - 30ab + 6ac + 10bc
 ii) (3a - 2b)^3 = 27a^3 - 54a^2b + 36ab^2 - 8b^3
 iii) (2/3 x + 1)^3 = (2x/3 + 1)^3 = 8x^3/27 + 3(4x^2/9) + 3(2x/3) + 1 = 8x^3/27 +
4x^2/3 + 2x + 1

Q3
 Given f(x) = 4x^3 + 3x^2 - 12x - 5 and g(x) = 2x^3 + ax^2 - 6x - 2
 R1 and R2 are remainders when divided by (x-1) and (x-2), i.e., R1 = f(1), R2 = g(2)
 f(1) = 4 + 3 - 12 - 5 = -10, g(2) = 16 + 4a - 12 - 2 = 4a + 2
 Given R1 + R2 = 0 → -10 + (4a + 2) = 0 → 4a = 8 → a = 2

Q4: Factorise x^4 + x^3 - 7x^2 - x + 6


 Try x = 1: 1 + 1 - 7 - 1 + 6 = 0 → x - 1 is a factor
 Divide polynomial by x - 1 using long division or synthetic division
 Quotient = x^3 + 2x^2 - 5x - 6
 Try x = -1: -1 + 2 + 5 - 6 = 0 → x + 1 is a factor
 Continue factorising → Final: (x - 1)(x + 1)(x + 3)(x - 2)

Q5: Find m and n


 x^3 + 3x^2 - 2mx + n = (x + 2)(x + 1)(Ax + B)
 Expand: (x + 2)(x + 1) = x^2 + 3x + 2
 Now (x^2 + 3x + 2)(Ax + B) = x^3 + 3x^2 + (2A + 3B)x + 2B
 Compare with x^3 + 3x^2 - 2mx + n → 2A + 3B = -2m, 2B = n
 Take A = 1, B = -2 → 2(1) + 3(-2) = 2 - 6 = -4 → m = 2, n = -4
Q6: f(x) = x^2 - 4x + 3; Evaluate p(2) - p(-1) + p(1/2)
 f(2) = 4 - 8 + 3 = -1
 f(-1) = 1 + 4 + 3 = 8
 f(1/2) = (1/4) - 2 + 3 = 1.25
 Result = -1 - 8 + 1.25 = -7.75

Q7
 x + y + z = 1; xy + yz + zx = -1; xyz = -1
 x^3 + y^3 + z^3 = (x + y + z)^3 - 3(x + y + z)(xy + yz + zx) + 3xyz
 = 1^3 - 3(1)(-1) + 3(-1) = 1 + 3 - 3 = 1

Q8
 4x^2 + y^2 + 25z^2 + 4xy - 10yz - 20zx
 = (2x + y)^2 + (5z)^2 - 2(2x + y)(5z) = ((2x + y) - 5z)^2

Q9
 a^2 + 1/a^2 = 18 → (a + 1/a)^2 = 18 + 2 = 20
 a + 1/a = √20
 (a^3 + 1/a^3) = (a + 1/a)^3 - 3(a + 1/a) = 20√20 - 3√20 = 17√20

Q10
 Let f(x) = 4x^4 - 2x^3 - 6x + 5 - k
 Let result = divisible by 2x^2 + 1 → remainder = 0
 Put x = 0: 5 - k = 0 → k = 5

Q11
 x^3 - 3x^2 + 15x + 125 = (x + 5)^3

Q12
 a^2 + b^2 = 7, ab = 3
 (a + b)^2 = 7 + 2*3 = 13 → a + b = √13
 (a^3 + b^3) = (a + b)^3 - 3ab(a + b) = 13√13 - 9√13 = 4√13

Q13
 5x^4 - 3x^3 - 5x + 1 → use synthetic division and long division
 Factorise → (x - 1)(5x^3 + 2x^2 - 3x - 1)
Q14
 i) 343a^3 - 729b^3 = (7a)^3 - (9b)^3 = (7a - 9b)((7a)^2 + 7a*9b + (9b)^2)
 ii) 25x^3y - 121xy^3 = xy(25x^2 - 121y^2) = xy(5x - 11y)(5x + 11y)

Q15
 i) 1.5^3 - 0.9^3 - 0.6^3 = (a + b + c)^3 - 3(a + b)(b + c)(c + a) where a = 1.5, b = -0.9, c = -
0.6 = 0
 ii) 30^3 + 20^3 - 50^3 = (a + b - c)^3 = 0 (by identity or direct calculation)

Q16
 x^4 + x^3 - 7x^2 - x + 6 → Same as Q4 → (x - 1)(x + 1)(x + 3)(x - 2)
