Que 1 Prove that 3 + 2√5 is irrational (4)

Solution:
We have to prove that 3 + 2√5 is irrational. We will be solving this question with the help of the
contradiction method.

Let's assume that 3 + 2√5 is rational. If 3 + 2√5 is rational, it can be written in the form of
a/b where a and b are integers with no common factor other than 1 and b ≠ 0.

3 + 2√5 = a/b

b(3 + 2√5) = a

3b + 2√5b = a

2√5b = a - 3b

√5 = (a - 3b)/2b

Since (a - 3b)/2b is a rational number, then √5 is also a rational number.

But, we know that √5 is irrational.

Therefore, our assumption was wrong that 3 + 2√5 is rational. Hence, 3 + 2√5 is irrational.

Que.2 Find HCF of 960 and 2048 by prime factorization method (3)
Solution:
HCF of 2048 and 960 by Prime factorisation Method
The prime factorization of 2048 and 960 is:

2048 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

960 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5

The common prime factors of 2048 and 960 = 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2

Hence, HCF (2048, 960) = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 64

Que 3 Show that the square of any positive integer cannot be of form 5q + 2 or 5q +
3 for any integer q. (marks to all students) (4)
Solution:

Assume the positive integer to be = a

Using Euclid’s division lemma,

a = bm + r.

It is given that,

b = 5.

a = 5m + r.

So, r = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.

Case 1: When r = 0, a = 5m.

Case 2: When r = 1, a = 5m + 1.

Case 3: When r = 2, a = 5m + 2.

Case 4: When r = 3, a = 5m + 3.

Case 5: When r = 4, a = 5m + 4.

Case 1: When a = 5m

a2 = (5m)2 = 25m2
a2 = 5(5m2) = 5q, where q = 5m2.

Case 2: When a = 5m + 1

a2 = (5m2 + 1)2 = 25m2 + 10 m + 1


a2 = 5(5m2 + 2m) + 1 = 5q + 1, where q = 5m2 + 2m.

Case 3: When a = 5m + 2

a2 = (5m + 2)2
a2 = 25m2 + 20m + 4
a2 = 5(5m2 + 4m) + 4
a2 = 5q + 4 where q = 5m2 + 4m.

Case 4:When a = 5m + 3

a2 = (5m + 3)2 = 25m2 + 30m + 9


a2 = 5(5m2 + 6m + 1) + 4
a2 = 5q + 4 where q = 5m2 + 6m + 1.

Case 5: When a = 5m + 4

a2 = (5m + 4)2 = 25m2 + 40m + 16


a2 = 5(5m2 + 8m + 3) + 1
a2 = 5q + 1 where q = 5m2 + 8m + 3

Therefore, the square of any positive integer cannot be of the form 5q + 2 or 5q + 3

Que 5 Obtain all other zeroes of 3x4 + 6x3 - 2x2 - 10x - 5, if two of its zeroes are
√5/3 and -√5/3. (5)
Solution:
Given polynomial p(x) = 3x4 + 6x3 - 2x2 - 10x - 5
Two zeroes of the polynomial are given as √(5/3) and -√(5/3)

Therefore,

[x - √(5/3)] [x + √(5/3)] = (x2 - 5/3) is a factor of 3x4 + 6x3 - 2x2 - 10x - 5.


Therefore, we divide the given polynomial by (x2 - 5/3)
Therefore, 3x4 + 6x3 - 2x2 - 10x - 5 = (x2 - 5/3)(3x2 + 6x + 3) + 0
= 3 (x2 - 5/3) (x2 + 2x + 1)
On factorizing x2 + 2x + 1, we get (x + 1)2

Therefore, its zero is given by

x+1=0

x=-1

As it has the term (x + 1)2,

Therefore, there will be two identical zeroes at x = - 1

Hence the zeroes of the given polynomial are √(5/3) and -√(5/3), - 1 and - 1.

Que.4 Does the polynomial a 4 + 4a 2 + 5 have real zeroes? (3)

Solution:

In the aforementioned polynomial, let a^2= x.

Now, the polynomial becomes,

x^2+ 4x+ 5

Comparing with ax^2+ bx + c,

Here, b^2– 4ac = 4^2– 4(1)(5)


= 16 – 20
= -4

So, D = b2– 4ac < 0

As the discriminant (D) is negative,


the given polynomial does not have real roots or zeroes.

Solution:
1. The least number that is divisible by all the numbers from 1 to 10 (both inclusive)
is?

Solution

To find Least number that is divisible by all the numbers between 1 and 10 (both inclusive) Let
us first find the L.C.M of all the numbers between 1 and 10 (both inclusive)

2=2
3=3
4=22
5=5
6=2×3
7=7

L.C.M = Product of the highest power of the prime factors including other factors
=23×32×5×7
=8×9×5×7
=2520
Hence 2520 is the least number that is divisible by all the numbers between 1 and 10 (both
inclusive)

Also, 2×(−3)=b

4. If one of the zeroes of a quadratic polynomial of the form x2 +ax + b is the negative of the other,
then it
Solution:
Let f(x) = x2 + ax+ b
and by given condition the zeroes area and – α.
Sum of the zeroes = α- α = a
=>a = 0
f(x) = x2 + b, which cannot be linear,
and product of zeroes = α .(- α) = b
⇒ -α2 = b
which is possible when b < 0.
Hence, it has no linear term and the constant term is negative.

other two zeroes is.
Solution:
Given, the cubic polynomial is ax³ + bx² + cx + d.
One of the zeros of the polynomial is zero.
We have to find the product of the other two zeros.
We know that, if 𝛼,ꞵ and 𝛾 are the zeroes of a cubic polynomial ax³ + bx² + cx + d,
then
𝛼 +ꞵ + 𝛾 = -b/a
𝛼ꞵ + ꞵ𝛾 + 𝛾𝛼 = c/a
𝛼ꞵ𝛾 = -d/a
given, 𝛼 = 0
Now, 𝛼ꞵ + ꞵ𝛾 + 𝛾𝛼 = (0)ꞵ + ꞵ𝛾 + 𝛾(0) = ꞵ𝛾
By using the property of polynomials,
ꞵ𝛾 = c/a
Therefore, the product of the other two roots is c/a.

10. The zeroes of the quadratic polynomial x2 + kx + k, k ≠ 0,

Solution:

Given, the quadratic polynomial is x² + kx + k

We have to find the zeros of the polynomial

We know that, if 𝛼 and ꞵ are the zeroes of a polynomial ax^2 + bx + c, then

Sum of the roots is 𝛼 + ꞵ = -b/a


Product of the roots is 𝛼ꞵ = c/a

Where, a = coefficient of x² term

b = coefficient of x term

c = coefficient of constant term

Here, a = 1, b = k and c = k

Sum of the roots = -k/1

= -k

Product of the roots = k/1

=k

If k is negative,

Sum of the roots is positive

Product of the roots is negative.

So, one zero will be positive and other zero will be negative

If k is positive,

Sum of the roots is negative

Product of the roots is positive.

So, both the zeros will be negative.

Therefore, the zeros of the quadratic polynomial in both cases cannot be positive.
