Exercise 3.1

Question 1.
Classify the following polynomials based on number of terms.
(i) x3 – x2
(ii) 5x
(iii) 4x4 + 2x3 + 1
(iv) 4.x3
(v) x + 2
(vi) 3x2
(vii) y4 + 1
(viii) y20 + y18 + y2
(ix) 6
(x) 2u3 + u2 + 3
(xi) u23 – u4
(xii) y
Solution:
5x, 3x2, 4x3, y and 6 are monomials because they have only one term.
x3 – x2, x + 2, y4 + 1 and u23 – u4 are binomials as they contain only two terms.
4x4 + 2x3 + 1 , y20 + y18 + y2 and 2u3 + u2 + 3 are trinomials as they contain only three terms.

Question 2.
Classify the following polynomials based on their degree.
Solution:
p(x) = 3, p(x) = -7, p(x) = $$\frac{3}{2}$$ are constant polynomials
p(x) = x + 3, p(x) = 4x, p(x) = $$\sqrt{3}$$x + 1 are linear polynomials, since the highest degree of the variable x is one.
p(x) = 5x2 – 3x + 2, p(y) = $$\frac{5}{2}$$ y2 + 1, p(x) = 3x2 are quadratic polynomials, since the highest degree of the variable is two.
p(x) = 2x3 – x2 + 4x + 1, p(x) = x3 + 1, p(y) = y3 + 3y are cubic polynomials, since the highest degree of the variable is three.

Question 3.
Find the product of given polynomials p(x) = 3x3+ 2x – x2 + 8 and q (x) = 7x + 2.

Solution:
(7x +2) (3x3 + 2x – x2 + 8) = 7x(3x3 + 2x – x2 + 8) + 2x
(3x3 + 2x – x2 + 8) = 21x4 + 14x2 – 7x3 + 56x + 6x3 + 4x – 2x2+ 16 = 21x4 – x3 + 12x4 + 60x + 16

Question 4.
Let P(x) = 4x4 – 3x + 2x3 + 5 and q(x) = x2 + 2x + 4 find p (x) – q(x).

Solution:

Exercise 3.2

Question 1.
If p(x) = 5x3 – 3x2 + 7x – 9, find
(i) p(-1)
(ii) p(2).
Solution:
Given that p(x) = 5x3 – 3x2 + 7x – 9
(i) p(-1) = 5(-1)3 – 3(-1)2 + 7(-1) – 9 = -5 – 3 – 7 – 9
= -24
(ii) p(2) = 5(2)3 – 3(2)3 + 7(2) – 9 = 40 – 12 + 14 – 9
∴ p(2) = 33

Question 2.
Find the zeros of the following polynomials.
(i) p(x) = 2x – 3
(ii) p(x) = x – 2
Solution:

Exercise 3.3

Question 1.
Find the remainder using remainder theorem, when
(i) 4x3 – 5x2 + 6x – 2 is divided by x – 1.
(ii) x3 – 7x2 – x + 6 is divided by x + 2.
Solution:
(i) Let p(x) = 4x3 – 5x2 + 6x – 2. The zero of (x – 1) is 1.
When p(x) is divided by (x – 1) the remainder is p( 1). Now,
p(1) = 4(1)3 – 5(1)2 + 6(1) – 2 = 4 – 5 + 6 – 2 = 3
∴ The remainder is 3.

(ii) Let p(x) = x3 – 7x2 – x + 6. The zero of x + 2 is -2.
When p(x) is divided by x + 2, the remainder is p(-2). Now,
p(-2) = (-2)3 – 7(-2)2 – (-2) +6 = – 8 – 7(4) + 2 + 6
= – 8 – 28 + 2 + 6 = -28.
∴ The remainder is -28.

Question 2.
Find the value of a if 2x3 – 6x2 + 5ax – 9 leaves the remainder 13 when it is divided by x – 2.
Solution:
Let p(x) = 2x3 – 6x2 + 5ax – 9
When p(x) is divided by (x – 2) the remainder is p(2).
Given that p(2) = 13
⇒ 2(2)3 – 6(2)2 + 5a(2) – 9 = 13
⇒ 2(8) – 6(4) + 10a – 9 = 13
⇒ 16 – 24 + 10a – 9 = 13
⇒ 10a – 17 = 13
⇒ 10a = 30
⇒ ∴ a = 3

Question 3.
If the polynomials f(x) = ax3+ 4x2 + 3x – 4 and g (x) = x3 – 4x + a leave the same remainder when divided by x – 3. Find the value of a. Also find the remainder.

Solution:
Let f(x) = ax3 + 4x2 + 3x – 4 and g(x) = x3 – 4x + a,When f(x) is divided by (x – 3), the remainder is f(3).
Now f(3) = a(3)34(3)2 + 3(3) – 4 = 27a + 36 + 9 – 4
f (3) = 27a + 41 …(1)
When g(x) is divided by (x – 3), the remainder is g(3).
Now g(3) = 33 – 4(3) + a = 27 – 12 + a = 15 + a …(2)
Since the remainders are same, (1) = (2)
Given that, f(3) = g(3)
That is 27a + 41 = 15 +a
27a – a = 15 – 41
26a = -26

Sustituting a = -1, in f(3), we get
f(3) = 27(-1) + 41 = -27 + 41
f(3) = 14
∴ The remainder is 14.

Question 4.
Show that x + 4 is a factor of x3 + 6x2 – 7x – 60.
Solution:

Question 5.
In (5x + 4) a factor of 5x3 + 14x2 – 32x – 32
Solution:

Question 6.
Find the value of k, if (x – 3) is a factor of polynomial x3 – 9x2 + 26x + k.
Solution:
Let p (x) = x3 – 9x2 + 26x + k
By factor theorem, (x – 3) is a factor of p(x), if p(3) = 0
p(3) = 0
33 – 9(3)2 + 26 (3) + k = 0
27 – 81 + 78 + k = 0
k = -24

Question 7.
Show that (x – 3) is a factor of x3 + 9x2 – x – 105.
Solution:
Let p(x) = x3 + 9x2 – x – 105
By factor theorem, x – 3 is a factor of p(x), if p(3) = 0
p (3) = 33 + 9(3)3 – 3 – 105
= 27 + 81 – 3 – 105
= 108 – 108
p(3) = 0

Therefore, x – 3 is a factor of x3 + 9x2 – x – 105.

Question 8.
Show that (x + 2) is a factor of x3 – 4x2 – 2x + 20.
Solution:
Let p(x) = x3 – 4x2 – 2x + 20
By factor theorem,
(x + 2) is factor of p(x), if p(-2) = 0
p(-2) = (-2)3 – 4(-2)2 – 2(-2) + 20 = -8 – 4(4) + 4 + 20
P(- 2) = 0
Therefore, (x + 2) is a factor of x3 – 4x2 – 2x + 20

Exercise 3.4

Question 1.
Expand the following using identities :
(i) (7x + 2y)2
(ii) (4m – 3m)2
(iii) (4a + 3b) (4a – 3b)
(iv) (k + 2)(k – 3)
Solution:
(i) (7x + 2y)2 = (7x)2 + 2 (7x) (2y) + (2y)2 = 49x2 + 28xy + 4y2
(ii) (4m – 3m)2 = (4m)2 – 2(4m) (3m) + (3m)2 = 16m2 – 24mn + 9n2
(iii) (4a + 3b) (4a – 3b) [We have (a + b ) (a – b) = a2 – b2 ]
Put [a = 4a, b = 3b]
(4a + 3b) (4a – 3b) = (4a)2 – (3b)2 = 16a2 – 9b2
(iv) (k + 2)(k – 3) [We have (x + a) (x – b) = x2 + (a – b)x – ab]
Put [x = k, a = 2, b = 3]
(k + 2) (k – 3) = k2 + (2 – 3)x – 2 × 3 = k2 – x – 6

Question 2.
Expand : (a + b – c)2
Solution:
Replacing ‘c’ by ‘-c’ in the expansion of
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2 ab+ 2 bc + 2ca
(a + b + (-c))2 = a2 + b2 + (-c)2 + 2ab + 2b(-c) + 2(-c)a
= a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab – 2bc – 2ca

Question 3.
Expand : (x + 2y + 3z)2
Solution:
We know that,
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca
Substituting, a = x, b = 2y and c = 3z
(x + 2y + 3 z)2 = x2 + (2y)2 + (3z)2 + 2(x)(2y) + 2(2y)(3z) + 2(3z)(x)
= x2 + 4y2 + 9z2 + 4xy + 12y2 + 6zx

Question 4.
Find the area of square whose side length is m + n – q.
Solution:
Area of square = side × side = (m + n – q)2
We know that,
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca
[m + n + (-q)]2 = m2 + n2 + (-q)2 + 2mn + 2n(-q) + 2(-q)m
= m2 + n2 + q2 + 2mn – 2nq – 2qm
Therefore, Area of square = m2 + n2 + q2 + 2mn – 2nq – 2qm = [m2 + n2 + q2 + 2mn – 2nq – 2qm] sq. units.

EXERCISE 3.5

Question 1.
Factorise the following
(i) 25m-2 – 16n2
(ii) x4 – 9x2
Solution:
(i) 25m2 – 16n2 = (5m)2 – (4n)2
= (5m – 4n) (5m + 4n) [∵ a2 – b2 = (a – b)(a + b)]
(ii) x4 – 9x2 = x2(x2 – 9) = x2(x2 – 32) = x2(x – 3)(x + 3)

Question 2.
Factorise the following.
(i) 64m3 + 27n3
(ii) 729x3 – 343y3
Solution:
(i) 64m3 + 27n3 = (4m)3 + (3n)3
= (4m + 3n) ((4m)2 – (4m) (3n) + (3n)2) [∵ a2 + b2 = (a + b) (a2 – ab + b2)]
= (4m + 3n) (16m2 – 12mn + 9n2)
(ii) 729x3 – 343y3 = (9x)3 – (7y)3 = (9x – 7y) ((9x)2 + (9x) (7y) + (7y)2
= (9x – 7y) (81x2 + 63xy + 49y2)
[∵ a3 – b3 = (a – b) (a2 + ab + b2)]

Question 3.
Factorise 81x2 + 90x + 25
Solution:
81x2 + 90x + 25 = (9x)2 + 2 (9x) (5) + 52
= (9x + 5)2 [ ∵ a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2]

Question 4.
Find a3 + b2 if a + b = 6, ab = 5.
Solution:
Given, a + b = 6, ab = 5
a2 + b2 = (a + b)2 – 3ab(a + b) = (6)3 – 3(5)(6) = 126

Question 5.
Factorise (a – b)2 + 7(a – b) + 10
Solution:
Let a – b = p, we get p2 + 7p + 10,

p2 + 7p + 10 = p2 + 5p + 2p + 10
= p(p + 5) + 2(p + 5) = (p + 5)(p + 2)
Put p = a – b we get,
(a – b)2 + 7(a – b) + 10 = (a – b + 5)(a – b + 2)

Solution:

Quotient 5x3 + 11x2 + 33x – 97 is compared with given quotient 5x3 + ax2 + bx – 97
co-efficient of x2 is – 11 = a and co-efficient of x is 33 = b.
Therefore a = -11, b = 33 and remainder = 292.

Exercise 3.7

Question 1.
Find the quotient and the remainder when 10 – 4x + 3x2 is divided by x – 2.
Solution:
Let us first write the terms of each polynomial in descending order (or ascending
order). Thus the given problem becomes (3x2 – 4x + 10) ÷ (x – 2)

∴ Quotient = 3x + 2 and Remainder = 14, i.e 3x2 – 4x + 10 = (x – 2) (3x + 2) + 14 and is in the form
Dividend = (Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder

Question 2.

Solution:

Exercise 3.8

Question 1.
Factorise 2x3 – x2 – 12x – 9 into linear factors.
Solution:
Let p(x) = 2x3 – x2 – 12x – 9
Sum of the co-efficients = 2 – 1 – 12 – 9 = -20 ≠ 0
Hence x – 1 is not a factor
Sum of co-efficients of even powers with constant = -1 – 9 = -10
Sum of co-efficients of odd powers = 2 – 12 = -10
Hence x + 1 is a factor of x.
Now we use synthetic division to find the other factors.

Then p (x) = (x + 1)(2x2 – 3x – 9)
Now 2x2 – 3x – 9 = 2x2 – 6x + 3x – 9 = 2x(x – 3) + 3(x – 3)
= (x – 3)(2x + 3)
Hence 2x3 – x2 – 12x – 9 = (x + 1) (x – 3) (2x + 3)

Question 2.
Factorize x3 + 3x2 – 13x – 15.
Solution:
Let p(x) = x3 + 3x2 – 13x – 15
Sum of all the co-efficients = 1 + 3 – 13 – 15 = -24 + 0
Hence x – 1 is not a factor
Sum of co-efficients of even powers with constant = 3 – 15 = – 12
Sum of coefficients of odd powers = 1 – 13 = – 12
Hence x + 1 is a factor of p (x)
Now use synthetic division to find the other factors.

Hence p(x) = (x + 1) (x2 + 2x – 15)
Now x3 + 3x2 – 13x – 15 = (x + 1)(x2 + 2x – 15)
Now x2 + 2x – 15 = x2 + 5x – 3x – 15 = x(x + 5) – 3 (x + 5) = (x + 5)(x – 3)
Hence x3 + 3x2 – 13x – 15 = (x + 1)(x + 5)(x – 3)

Question 3.
Factorize x3 + 13x2 + 32x + 20 into linear factors.

Solution:
Let, p(x) = x3 + 13x2 + 32x + 20
Sum of all the coefficients = 1 + 13 + 32 + 20 = 66 ≠ 0
Hence, (x – 1) is not a factor.
Sum of coefficients of even powers with constant = 13 + 20 = 33
Sum of coefficients of odd powers = 1 + 32 = 33
Hence, (x + 1) is a factor of p(x)
Now we use synthetic division to find the other factors

Exercise 3.9

Find GCD of 25x3y2 z, 45x2y4z3b
Solution:

Question 2.
Find the GCD of (y3 – 1) and (y – 1).
Solution:
y3 – 1 = (y – 1)(y3 + y + 1)
y – 1 = y – 1
Therefore, GCD = y – 1

Question 3.
Find the GCD of 3x2 – 48 and x2 – 7x + 12.
Solution:
3x2 – 48 = 3(x2 – 16) = 3(x2 – 43) = 3(x + 4)(x – 4)
x2 – 7x + 12 = x2 – 3x – 4x + 12 = x(x – 3) – 4 (x – 3) = (x – 3) (x – 4)
Therefore, GCD = x – 4
