Chapter 2 Polynomials
Solution
2. d. 6
--------------
( is cancelled)
3. d. 4
Explanation: The highest power of the variable is 4. So, the degree of the
polynomial is 4.
4. d. -5
Explanation:
= -5
5. a.
Explanation: is not a polynomial because each term of a
polynomial should be a product of a constant and one or more variable raised
to a positive, zero or integral power. Here does not satisfy the condition of
being a polynomial.
p(x) = x2 - 8x + 4
= x2 - 6x - 2x + 4 = 0
=
= = 0
Zeroes =
7. According to the question,we have to find the value of a such that the product of the
Hence, a =
x2 - x = 0
x(x - 1) = 0
x = 0 or x = 1
Hence,
f(0) = 0
x3 + x2 - ax + b = 0
03 + 02 - a(0) + b = 0
b = 0
Also,
f(1) = 0
x3 + x2 - ax + b = 0
13 + 12 - a(1) + 0 = 0
1 + 1 - a = 0
2 - a = 0
a = 2
Hence , the value of a and b in given polynomial are a = 2 and b = 0.
9. We have,f(x) = 3x2 - x - 4
= 3x2 - 4x + 3x - 4
= x(3x - 4) + 1(3x - 4)
= (3x - 4) )(x + 1)
f(x) = 0
(3x - 4)(x +1) = 0
3x - 4 = 0 or x + 1 = 0
or x = -1
So, the zeros of f(x) are
10. f(x) = x2 - 2x
= x (x -2)
f(x) = 0 x = 0 or x = 2
Hence, zeroes are 0 and 2.
β=
αβ=1
also αβ= =
So =1
k - 4 = 4
k = 4 + 4 = 8
⇒ 1 =
⇒ a2 + 9 = 6a
⇒ a2 - 6a + 9 = 0
⇒ a2 - 3a - 3a + 9 = 0
⇒ a(a - 3) - 3(a - 3) = 0
⇒ (a - 3) (a - 3) = 0
⇒ (a - 3)2 = 0
⇒ a - 3 = 0
⇒ a = 3
So, the value of a in given polynomial is 3.
13. Let = 3, = and = -1. Then,
,
= -2
and
The polynomial with zeros α,β and is:
Also,
or,
On putting the value of in equation (ii), we get
Hence, k = 1
Sum of zeroes =
Product of zeroes =
= x2 - 2x + 3
