Chapter 2 polynomials
Solution
1. d. 9
Explanation: Here ,
Since
= =
2. a. 1
Explanation: A polynomial of degree 1 is called a linear polynomial. Example
4x + 3, 65y are linear polynomials.
3. d. 1 and
Explanation: Since and are the zeroes of
, then and are the factors of
given polynomial i.e., is a factor of given
polynomial.
4. a.
Explanation: If and are the zeroes of a quadratic polynomial
then
5. b. 4
Explanation: Biquadratic polynomial is a polynomial of the fourth degree.
Biquadratic polynomial = =
= x2 + 5x + 6.
8. We have, α and β are the roots of the quadratic polynomial. f(x) =x2 - 5x + 4
Sum of zeros:
product of zeros:
We have a=1,b=-5 and c= 4.
Sum of the roots = α + β = 5
Product of the roots = αβ = 4
So,
= =
Hence,we get the result of =
p(x) = x2 - px - p - c
Here a = 1, b = - p and c = -p - c
and
-p-c+p+1=0
c=1

and
Now,
k+6= (4k - 2)
k+6 = 2k -1
k=7
13. Compare f(x) = 5x2 - 7x + 1 with ax2 + bx + c we get,
a = 5, b = - 7 and c= 1
=7
Let S and P denote respectively the sum and product of the zeros of the polynomial
S= = = ........(1)
and, P = ................(2)
g(x)=x2-Px+S=0
putting values of P and S from (1) and (2) we get the polynomial
f(x) = 2x3 - x2 - 4x + 2.
It is given that the two zeroes of the above polynomial are and -
= 5x2 + 10x - 2x - 4 = 0
= 5x(x + 2) - 2(x + 2) = 0
= (x + 2)(5x - 2) = 0
Hence, zeroes are -2 and
Verification: Sum of zeroes =
Product of zeroes =
17. y2 + - 5=
18. As 2 ± are the zeroes of p(x), so x - (2 ± ) are the factors of p(x) and the product
of factors,
= x2 - 4x + 1
Dividing p(x) by x2 - 4x + 1
19.
On factorising the quotient, we get
20.
Given, remainder = x + a
On comparing the multiples of x
(2k - 9)x = 1
or, 2k - 9 = 1 or k = =5
On putting this value of k into other portion of remainder, we get
and a = 10 - 8k + k2 = 10 - 40 + 25 = -5
