(a) 4 (b) 5 (c) 3 (d) 7
Solution:
(a) Degree of 4x4 + Ox3 + Ox5 + 5x + 7 is equal to the highest power of variable x. Here, the highest power of x is 4,
Hence, the degree of a polynomial is 4.

Question 4:
Degree of the zero polynomial is
(a) 0 (b) 1
(c) any natural number (d) not defined
Solution:
(d) The degree of zero polynomial is not defined, because in zero polynomial, the coefficient of any variable is zero i.e., Ox2 or Ox5,etc.
Hence, we cannot exactly determine the degree of variable.




Question 5:

(a) 0 (b) 1 (c) 4√2 (d) 8 √2 +1
Solution:
(b) Given, p(x) = x2 – 2√2x + 1 …(i)
On putting x = 2√2 in Eq. (i), we get
P(2√2) = (2√2)2– (2√2)(2√2) + 1 =8-8+1=1

Question 6:
The value of the polynomial 5x – 4x2 + 3, when x = – 1 is
(a)-6 (b) 6 (c) 2 (d) -2
Solution:
(a) Let p (x) = 5x – 4x2 + 3 …(i)
On putting x = -1 in Eq. (i), we get
p(-1) = 5(-1) -4(-1)2 + 3= -5-4+3 = -6

Question 7:
If p (x) = x + 3, then p(x)+ p (- x) is equal to
(a) 3 (b) 2x (c) 0 (d) 6
Solution:
(d) Given p(x) = x+3, put x = -x in the given equation, we get p(-x) = -x+3
Now, p(x)+ p(-x) = x+ 3+ (-x)+ 3=6

Question 8:
Zero of the zero polynomial is
(a) 0 (b) 1 (c) any real number (d) not defined
Solution:
(c) Zero of the zero polynomial is any real number.
e.g., Let us consider zero polynomial be 0(x-k), where k is a real number For determining the zero, putx-k = 0=>x = k Hence, zero of the zero polynomial be any real number.

Question 9:
Zero of the polynomial p(x)=2x+5 is
(a) -2/5 (b) -5/2 (c)2/5 (d)5/2
Solution:
(b) Given, p(x) = 2x+5
For zero of the polynomial, put p(x) = 0 ∴ 2x + 5 = 0
=> -5/2
Hence, zero of the polynomial p(x) is -5/2.

Question 10:
One of the zeroes of the polynomial 2x2 + 7x – 4 is
(a) 2 (b)½ (c)-1 (d)-2
Thinking Process
(i) Firstly, determine the factor by using splitting method.
(ii) Further, put the factors equals to zero, then determine the values of x.
Solution:
(b) Let p (x) = 2x2 + 7x-4
= 2x2 + 8x-x-4 [by splitting middle term]
= 2x(x+ 4)-1(x+ 4)
= (2x-1)(x+ 4)
For zeroes of p(x), put p(x) = 0=> (2x -1) (x + 4) = 0
=> 2x-1 = 0 and x+4 = 0
=> x = ½ and x = -4
Hence, one of the zeroes of the polynomial p(x) is ½.

Question 11:
If x51 + 51 is divided by x + 1, then the remainder is
(a) 0 (b) 1 (c) 49 (d) 50
Solution:
(d) Let p(x) = x51 + 51 . …(i)
When we divide p(x) by x+1, we get the remainder p(-1)
On putting x= -1 in Eq. (i), we get p(-1) = (-1)51 + 51
= -1 + 51 = 50
Hence, the remainder is 50.

Question 12:
If x + 1 is a factor of the polynomial 2x2 + kx, then the value of k is
(a) -3 (b) 4 (c) 2 (d)-2
Solution:
(c) Let p(x) = 2x2 + kx
Since, (x + 1) is a factor of p(x), then
p(-1)=0
2(-1)2 + k(-1) = 0
=> 2-k = 0 => k= 2
Hence, the value of k is 2.

Question 13:
x + 1 is a factor of the polynomial
(a) x3 + x2 – x +1 (b) x3 + x2 + x+1
(c) x4 + x3 + x2 +1 (d) x4 + 3x3 + 3x2 + x +1
Solution:
(b) Let assume (x + 1) is a factor of x3 + x2 + x+1.
So, x = -1 is zero of x3 + x2 + x+1
(-1)3 + (-1)2 + (-1) + 1 = 0 => -1+1-1 + 1 = 0 => 0 = 0 Hence, our assumption is true.

Question 14:
One of the factors of (25x2 – 1) + (1 + 5x)2 is
(a) 5 + x (b) 5 – x (c) 5x -1 (d) 10x

(d) Now, (25x2 -1) + (1 + 5x)2
= 25x2 -1 + 1 + 25x2 + 10x [using identity, (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab]
= 50x2 + 10x = 10x (5x+ 1)
Hence, one of the factor of given polynomial is 10x.

= 497 x 1 = 497.

Question 16:
The factorization of 4x2 + 8x+ 3 is
(a) (x +1) (x + 3) (b) (2x+1) (2x + 3)
(c) (2x + 2) (2x + 5) (d) (2x -1) (2x – 3)
Solution:
(b) Now, 4x2 + 8x + 3= 4x2 + 6x + 2x + 3 [by splitting middle term]
= 2x(2x+ 3) + 1 (2x+ 3)
= (2x + 3) (2x + 1)

Question 17:
Which of the following is a factor of (x+ y)3 – (x3 + y3)?
(a) x2 + y2 + 2 xy (b) x2 + y2 – xy (c) xy2 (d) 3xy
Solution:
(d) Now, (x+ y)3 – (x3 + y3) = (x + y) – (x + y)(x2– xy + y2)
[using identity, a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 -ab+ b2)] = (x+ y)[(x+ y)2 -(x2 -xy+ y2)]
= (x+ y)(x2+ y2+ 2xy- x2+ xy- y2)
[using identity, (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2 ab)]
= (x + y) (3xy)
Hence, one of the factor of given polynomial is 3xy.

Question 18:
The coefficient of x in the expansion of (x + 3)3 is
(a) 1 (b) 9 (c) 18 (d) 27
Solution:
(d) Now, (x + 3)3 = x3 + 33 + 3x (3)(x + 3)
[using identity, (a + b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab (a + b)]
= x3 + 27 + 9x (x + 3)
= x3 +27 + 9x2+27x Hence, the coefficient of x in (x + 3)3 is 27.

(iv) Zero of a polynomial is always 0.
(v) A polynomial cannot have more than one zero.
(vi) The degree of the sum of two polynomials each of degree 5 is always 5.
Solution:
(i) False, because a binomial has exactly two terms.
(ii) False, because every polynomial is not a binomial .
e.g., (a) 3x2 + 4x + 5 [polynomial but hot a binomial]
(b) 3x2 + 5 [polynomial and also a binomial]
(Hi) True, because a binomial is a polynomial whose degree is a whole number greater than equal to one. So, it may have degree 5.
(iv) False, because zero of a polynomial can be any real number e.g., p(x) = x – 2, then 2 is a zero of polynomial p(x).
(v) False, because a polynomial can have any number of zeroes. It depends upon the degree of the polynomial
e.g., p(x) = x2 -2, as degree pf p(x) is 2 ,so it has two degree, so it has two zeroes i.e., √2 and —√2.
(vi) False, because the sum of any two polynomials of same degree is not always same degree.
e.g., Let f(x) = x4 + 2 and g(x) = -x4 + 4x3 + 2x

∴ Sum of two polynomials,
f{x) + g(x) = x4 + 2 + (-x4 + 4x3 + 2x)
= 4x3 + 2x + 2 which is not a polynomial of degree 4.

Question 38:
Without finding the cubes, factorise (x- 2y)3 + (2y – 3z)3 + (3z – x)3.
Solution:
We know that,
a3 + b3 + c3 – 3 abc = (a + b + c)(a2 + b2 + c2 -ab-bc-ca)
Also, if a + b + c = 0, then a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc
Here, we see that (x-2y) +(2y-3z)+ (3z-x) = 0
Therefore, (x-2y)3 + (2y-3z)3 + (3z-x)3 = 3(x-2y)(2y-3z)(3z-x).

Question 39:
Find the value of
(i) x3 +y3 -12xy + 64,when x+y = -4.

Question 40:
Give possible expression for the length and breadth of the rectangle whose area is given by 4a2 +4a – 3.
Solution:
Given, area of rectangle = 4a2 + 6a-2a-3
= 4a2 + 4a – 3 [by splitting middle term]
= 2a(2a + 3) -1 (2a + 3) = (2a – 1)(2a + 3) Hence, possible length = 2a -1 and breadth = 2a + 3

Exercise 2.4: Long Answer Type Questions

Question 1:
If the polynomials az3 +4z2 + 3z-4 and z3-4z + o leave the same remainder when divided by z – 3, find the value of a.
Solution:
Let p1(z) = az3 +4z2 + 3z-4 and p2(z) = z3-4z + o
When we divide p1(z) by z – 3, then we get the remainder p,(3).
Now, p1(3) = a(3)3 + 4(3)2 + 3(3) – 4
= 27a+ 36+ 9-4= 27a+ 41 When we divide p2(z) by z-3 then we get the remainder p2(3).
Now, p2(3) = (3)3-4(3)+a
= 27-12 + a = 15+a According to’ the question, both the remainders are same.
p1(3)= p2(3)
27a+41 = 15+a
27a-a = 15-41 .
26a = 26 a = -1

Question 2:

Question 4:
Without actual division, prove that 2x4 – 5x3 + 2x2 – x+ 2 is divisible by x2-3x+2
Thinking Process
(i) firstly, determine the factors of quadratic polynomial by splitting middle term.
(ii) The two different values of zeroes put in biquadratic polynomial.
(iii) In both the case if remainder is zero, then biquadratic polynomial is divisible by
quadratic polynomial.
Solution:
Let p(x) = 2x4 – 5x3 + 2x2 – x+ 2 firstly, factorise x2-3x+2.
Now, x2-3x+2 = x2-2x-x+2 [by splitting middle term]
= x(x-2)-1 (x-2)= (x-1)(x-2)
Hence, 0 of x2-3x+2 are land 2.
We have to prove that, 2x4 – 5x3 + 2x2 – x+ 2 is divisible by x2-3x+2 i.e., to prove that p (1) =0 and p(2) =0
Now, p(1) = 2(1)4 – 5(1)3 + 2(1)2 -1 + 2 =2-5+2-1+2=6-6=0
and p(2) = 2(2)4 – 5(2)3 + 2(2)2 – 2 + 2 = 2x16-5x8+2x4+ 0 = 32 – 40 + 8 = 40 – 40 =0
Hence, p(x) is divisible by x2-3x+2.

Question 5:
Simplify (2x- 5y)3 – (2x+ 5y)3.
Solution:
(2x -5y)3 – (2x + 5y)3 = [(2x)3 – (5y)3 – 3(2x)(5y)(2x – 5y)]
-[(2x)3 + (5y)3 + 3(2x)(5y)(2x+5y)]
[using identity, (a – b)3 = a3 -b3 – 3ab and (a + b)3 =a3 +b3 + 3ab ] = (2x)3 – (5y)3 – 30xy(2x – 5y) – (2x)3 – (5y)3 – 30xy (2x + 5y)
= -2 (5y)3 – 30xy(2x – 5y + 2x + 5y)
= -2 x 125y3 – 30xy(4x) = -250y3 -120x2y
