The degree of the polynomial x4 – 3x3 + 2x2 – 5x + 3 is:
  • a)
    2
  • b)
    1
  • c)
    4
  • d)
    3
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Tarun Sengupta answered
**Explanation:**

The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in that polynomial. In this case, the polynomial is:

x^4 + 3x^3 + 2x^2 + 5x - 3

To find the degree of this polynomial, we need to identify the term with the highest power of x. Let's break down each term in the polynomial:

- The term x^4 has a power of 4.
- The term 3x^3 has a power of 3.
- The term 2x^2 has a power of 2.
- The term 5x has a power of 1.
- The constant term -3 has a power of 0.

As we can see, the term with the highest power of x is x^4. Therefore, the degree of the polynomial is 4.

Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Factors of a2 ab bc ca

To find the factors of a2 ab bc ca, we need to factor out the common terms from all the terms. In this case, the common term is 'a'. So, we can write:

a2 ab bc ca = a(a b c + b c a)

Now, we need to factor the expression inside the parentheses. We can see that it contains two terms, 'abc' and 'bca', which have a common factor of 'bc'. So, we can write:

a(a b c + b c a) = a(bc(a + c))

Finally, we can factor out the common factor of 'a' and 'bc', which gives us:

a(bc(a + c)) = ab(a + c) ac(a + c)

Therefore, the factors of a2 ab bc ca are (a b) (a c).

    - 6
  • b)
    1
  • c)
    9
  • d)

Zachary Foster answered
It is given that
p(x) = 5x - 4x² + 3
We have to find the value when x = -1
p(-1) = 5(-1) - 4(-1)² + 3
By further calculation
p(-1) = -5 - 4 + 3
So we get
p(-1) = -9 + 3
p(-1) = -6
Therefore, the value is -6.

What are the two factors of quadratic polynomial x2-16x+64?
  • a)
    (x-16) and (x-64)
  • b)
    (x+8) and (x-8)
  • c)
    (x+16) and (x-4)
  • d)
    (x-8) and (x-8)
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Solution:

To find the factors of the quadratic polynomial x2-16x+64, we can use the factorization formula for perfect square trinomials.

Formula: (a-b)2 = a2-2ab+b2

Comparing x2-16x+64 with the formula, we can see that a = x and b = 8.

Therefore, (x-8)2 = x2-16x+64

Taking the square root of both sides, we get:

x-8 = ±√(x2-16x+64)

x-8 = ±(x-8)

Now, we can solve for x in each case:

Case 1: x-8 = x-8

Simplifying, we get 0 = 0, which is always true. Therefore, this case gives us only one factor.

Factor 1: x-8

Case 2: x-8 = -(x-8)

Simplifying, we get 2x = 16, which gives us x = 8. Therefore, this case gives us another factor.

Factor 2: x-8

Thus, the two factors of the quadratic polynomial x2-16x+64 are (x-8) and (x-8), which can be written as (x-8)2.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D, (x-8) and (x-8).

Hansa Sharma answered
The zero of x + 1 is –1
                And by remainder theorem, when
                p(x) = x3 + 3x2 + 3x + 1 is divided by x + 1, then remainder is p(–1).
                ∴ p(–1) = (–1)3 + 3 (–1)2 + 3(–1) + 1
                = –1 + (3 × 1) + (–3) + 1
                = –1 + 3 – 3 + 1
                = 0
                Thus, the required = 0

Let f(x) = px2 + 5 x + r
If (x - 2) is a factor of f (x), then by factor theorem
f(2) = 0 | x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
⇒ p(2)2 + 5(2) + r = 0
⇒ 4p + r + 10 = 0    ...(1)
If  is a factor of f (x), then by factor theorem,
Subtracting (2) from (1), we get
3p - 3r = 0
⇒    p = r

Saranya Nair answered
Finding the Zero of a Polynomial

To find the zero of a polynomial, we need to solve for x when p(x) = 0. In other words, we need to find the value of x that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

Given p(x) = ax^b, where a ≠ 0 and b ≥ 1, we need to find the zero of the polynomial.

Solution

To find the zero of the polynomial, we need to solve for x when p(x) = 0. Substituting the given polynomial, we get:

ax^b = 0

Since a ≠ 0 and b ≥ 1, we know that the only value of x that satisfies the equation is x = 0. Therefore, the zero of the polynomial is x = 0.

Option (c) is the correct answer, as it corresponds to x = 0.

Explanation

The given polynomial p(x) = ax^b has only one term, which is ax^b. This term can only equal zero if x = 0, since any non-zero value of x raised to a positive power will be non-zero.

Therefore, the zero of the polynomial is x = 0, which corresponds to option (c).

If the polynomial 2x3 – 3x2 + 2x – 4 is divided by x – 2, then the remainder is :-

    -40
  • d)
    2
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Mahi Sharma answered
3x2 - 5x + 7 is divided by x - 2, the remainder is:

To find the remainder, we can use the remainder theorem which states that if a polynomial f(x) is divided by x - a, the remainder is equal to f(a).

Therefore, if we substitute x = 2 in the given polynomial, we get:

2(2)3 - 3(2)2 - 5(2) + 7 = 16 - 12 - 10 + 7 = 1

Hence, the remainder when the polynomial 2x3 + 3x2 - 5x + 7 is divided by x - 2 is 1.

Ujwal Das answered
+ 7y + 10

To factorize this quadratic polynomial, we need to find two numbers that multiply to give the constant term (10) and add to give the coefficient of the middle term (7).

The factors of 10 are:

1 x 10
2 x 5

Since we need the sum of the factors to be 7, we can see that 2 and 5 are the two numbers we are looking for.

So, we can rewrite the middle term as 2y + 5y:

y2 + 2y + 5y + 10

Now, we can group the first two terms and the last two terms together and factorize each group separately:

y(y + 2) + 5(y + 2)

Notice that both groups have a common factor of (y + 2), so we can factorize it out:

(y + 2)(y + 5)

Therefore, the factored form of the quadratic polynomial y2 + 7y + 10 is (y + 2)(y + 5).

Hey mate here is Your answer

Given to -- Evaluate (104)^3

Solution --

We can Write (104)^3 As (100+4)^3

Now By Using Identity (a+b)^3 = a^3 + b^3 +3ab (a + b)

here a = 100 and b = 4

Therefore we Have...

(100+4)^3 = 100^3 + 4^3 + 3(100)(4) ( 100+4 )

That is...


1000000+64+1200 ( 104 )


That is

1000064+124800


So We Have


(104)^3 = 1124864

Zachary Foster answered
  1. Create a common denominator:
    • Multiply both sides of the equation by xy to get rid of the fractions:
      • x² + y² = -xy
  2. Rearrange the equation:
    • Add xy to both sides:
      • x² + xy + y² = 0
  3. Substitute the values in:  x³ - y³ = (x - y)(x² + xy + y²)
  4.            We also know x² + xy + y² = 0 from step 2.
                Substitute these values into the identity:
    • x³ - y³ = (x-y)(0) = 0
Therefore, the value of x³ - y³ is 0.

Hridoy Iyer answered
The given expression is (3x - 5y)^3 (5y).

To factorize this expression, we can start by separating the expression inside the parentheses, (3x - 5y), and then factorize it using the binomial formula:

(3x - 5y)^3 (5y) = (3x - 5y)(3x - 5y)(3x - 5y)(5y)

Now, we can factor out the common factor (3x - 5y) from each term:

(3x - 5y)(3x - 5y)(3x - 5y)(5y) = (3x - 5y)^3 (3x - 5y)(5y)

Therefore, the factored form of the expression is (3x - 5y)^3 (3x - 5y)(5y).
