A linear polynomial :-

Detailed Solution: Question 5

A number of zeroes of an n -degree polynomial = n. 

First, a linear polynomial is in the form of ax + b, a≠0, a,b ∈R 

The degree of the polynomial = highest degree of the terms 
So here the highest degree is 1. 

Hence, Linear polynomial has only one zero.

When the polynomial x3 + 3x2 + 3x + 1 is divided by x + 1, the remainder is :-

Detailed Solution: Question 7

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

Test: Polynomials - 1 - Question 8

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

Detailed Solution: Question 8

Using the Remainder Theorem, we substitute x = 2 into the polynomial: f(2) = 2(2)3 - 3(2)2 + 2(2) - 4 = 16 - 12 + 4 - 4 = 4. Therefore, the remainder is 4, which corresponds to option B.

The value of k for which x – 1 is a factor of the polynomial 4x3+ 3x2 – 4x + k is :-

Detailed Solution: Question 9

X - 1 is a factor of 4x3 + 3x2 -4x +k
then x=1 is one root of 4x3 + 3x2 -4x +k

put x= 1
4x3 +3x2 -4x +k = 0

=> 4 (1)3 +3 (1)2-4 (1) +k =0

=> 4 + 3 - 4 + k = 0

=> k = -3 

Test: Polynomials - 1 - Question 10
Save

The value of k for which x + 1 is a factor of the polynomial x3 + x2 + x + k is :-

Detailed Solution: Question 10

To determine the value of k, we use the Factor Theorem, which states that if x + 1 is a factor of the polynomial P(x) = x3 + x2 + x + k, then P(-1) = 0. Substituting x = -1:P(-1) = (-1)3 + (-1)2 + (-1) + k = -1 + 1 - 1 + k = -1 + k. Setting this equal to zero gives:-1 + k = 0 implies k = 1. Thus, the value of k is 1.

The value of m for which x – 2 is a factor of the polynomial x4 – x3 + 2x2 – mx + 4 is :-

Detailed Solution: Question 11

To determine the value of m, we use the Factor Theorem, which states that if x - a is a factor of a polynomial P(x), then P(a) = 0. Here, a = 2. Substitute x = 2 into the polynomial: P(2) = (2)4 - (2)3 + 2(2)2 - m(2) + 4. Calculate each term: - (2)4 = 16, - (2)3 = -8, - 2 * (2)2 = 8, - m * 2 = -2m, - Constant term is 4. Combine the terms: 16 - 8 + 8 - 2m + 4 = 20 - 2m. Set equal to zero and solve for m: 20 - 2m = 0, -2m = -20, m = 10. Verification using synthetic division confirms that the remainder is zero when m = 10, ensuring x - 2 is a factor. Thus, the correct answer is A. 10.

The factors of 2x2 – 3x – 2 are :-

Detailed Solution: Question 12

2x2 – 3x – 2

2x2 - 4x + x - 2 = 0

If x + 2 is a factor of x3 – 2ax2 + 16, then value of a is

Detailed Solution: Question 13

To determine the value of a when x + 2 is a factor of x3 - 2ax2 + 16, we apply the Factor Theorem, which states that substituting x = -2 into the polynomial should yield zero. Substituting x = -2: -8 - 8a + 16 = 0. Simplify each term: 8 - 8a = 0. Solving for a: -8a = -8 implies a = 1. Thus, the value of a is 1.

The expanded form of (2x – 3y – z)2 is :-

Detailed Solution: Question 15

To expand (2x - 3y - z)2, we use the formula for squaring a trinomial: (a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2ac + 2bc. Here, a = 2x, b = -3y, and c = -z. Applying the formula: 1. Compute the squares of each term: (2x)2 = 4x2, (-3y)2 = 9y2, (-z)2 = z2. 2. Compute the cross terms: 2(2x)(-3y) = -12xy, 2(2x)(-z) = -4xz, 2(-3y)(-z) = 6yz. Combine all these results: 4x2 + 9y2 + z2 - 12xy - 4xz + 6yz. This matches option D.

The expanded form of (x + y + 2z)2 is :-

Detailed Solution: Question 16

To expand (x + y + 2z)2, we use the formula for trinomial expansion: (x + y + z)2 = x2 + y2 + z2 + 2xy + 2xz + 2yz. Here, substituting z with 2z: = x2 + y2 + (2z)2 + 2*x*y + 2*x*(2z) + 2*y*(2z) = x2 + y2 + 4z2 + 2xy + 4xz + 4yz. Thus, the expanded form is x2 + y2 + 4z2 + 2xy + 4yz + 4zx, which corresponds to option C.

The expanded form of (x+1/3)3 is :-  

Detailed Solution: Question 17

To expand (x + 1/3)3, we use the binomial expansion formula for (a + b)3, which is a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3.Applying this to (x + 1/3)3:- First term: x3- Second term: 3 * x2 * (1/3) = x2- Third term: 3 * x * (1/3)2 = 3 * x * 1/9 = (1/3)x- Fourth term: (1/3)3 = 1/27Combining these terms, the expanded form is:x3 + x2 + (1/3)x + 1/27Therefore, the correct option is B.

x3 + y3 + z3 – 3xyz is :-

Detailed Solution: Question 18

We know that x3 + y3 + z3 – 3xyz = (x + y + z) (x2 + y2 + z2 – xy – yz – zx).
If x + y + z = 0, then x3 + y3 + z3 – 3xyz = 0 or x3 + y3 + z3 = 3xyz.

(a – b)3 + (b – c)3 + (c – a)3 is equal to :-

Detailed Solution: Question 19

Let x = (a – b), y = (b – c) and z = (c – a)
Consider, x + y + z = (a – b) + (b – c) + (c – a) = 0
⇒ x3 + y3 + z3 = 3xyz
That is (a – b)3 + (b – c)3 + (c – a)3 = 3(a – b)(b – c)(c – a)

Detailed Solution: Question 24

 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

If p(x) = x + 3, then p(x) + p(-x) is equal to

Detailed Solution: Question 25

Given the function p(x) = x + 3, we can find p(-x) by substituting -x into the function:

p(-x) = -x + 3

Now, add p(x) and p(-x):

p(x) + p(-x) = (x + 3) + (-x + 3)

  • p(x) + p(-x) = x + 3 - x + 3
  • p(x) + p(-x) = x - x + 3 + 3
  • p(x) + p(-x) = 6

Thus, the result is 6.
