Polynomials (Exercise 2.4) NCERT Solutions - Mathematics (Maths) Class 9

Q1. Use suitable identities to find the following products: 
(i) (x + 4)(x + 10)
Ans: Using the identity (x + a)(x + b) = x2 + (a + b)x + ab,
[Here, a = 4 and b = 10]
We get,
(x + 4)(x + 10) = x2 + (4 + 10)x + (4 x 10)
= x2 + 14x + 40


(ii) (x + 8)(x – 10)
Ans: Using the identity, (x+a)(x+b) = x2+(a+b)x+ab
[Here, a = 8 and b = (–10)]
We get: (x + 8)(x – 10) = x2 + [8 + (–10)]x + [8 x (–10)]
= x+ [8-10]x + [–80]
= x2 – 2x – 80


(iii) (3x + 4)(3x – 5)
Ans: Using the identity (x + a)(x + b) = x2 + (a + b)x + ab,
[Here, x = 3x, a = 4 and b = −5]
we get
(3x + 4)(3x – 5) = (3x)2 + [4 + (–5)]3x + [4 x (–5)]
= 9x2 + 3x(4–5)–20
= 9x2 – 3x – 20


(iv) (y+ 3/2) (y- 3/2)
Ans: Using the identity (x + y)(x – y) = x2 – y2,
[Here, x = yand y = 3/2]
we get:
(y2+3/2)(y2–3/2) = (y2)2–(3/2)2
= y4–9/4


(v) (3 – 2x) (3 + 2x)
Ans: Using (a + b) (a - b) = a2 - b2,
putting a = 3 , b = 2x
= (3)- (2x)2

= (4m-7n)[(4m)2+(4m)(7n)+(7n)2]
= (4m-7n)(16m2+28mn+49n2)


Q11. Factorise 27x+ y+ z3 – 9xyz.
Solution: The expression27x3+y3+z3–9xyz can be written as (3x)3+y3+z3–3(3x)(y)(z)
27x3+y3+z3–9xyz  = (3x)3+y3+z3–3(3x)(y)(z)
We know that, x3+y3+z3–3xyz = (x+y+z)(x2+y2+z2–xy –yz–zx)
27x3+y3+z3–9xyz  = (3x)3+y3+z3–3(3x)(y)(z)
= (3x+y+z)[(3x)2+y2+z2–3xy–yz–3xz]
= (3x+y+z)(9x2+y2+z2–3xy–yz–3xz)

Q13. If x + y + z = 0, show that x3 + y3 + z3 = 3xyz.
Ans: We know that,
x3+y3+z3-3xyz = (x +y+z)(x2+y2+z2–xy–yz–xz)
Now, according to the question, let (x+y+z) = 0,
then, x3+y3+z3 -3xyz = (0)(x2+y2+z2–xy–yz–xz)
⇒ x3+y3+z3–3xyz = 0
⇒x3+y3+z3 = 3xyz
Hence Proved

12ky2+8ky–20k = 4k(3y2+2y–5)
[Here, 3y2+2y–5 can be written as 3y2+5y–3y–5 using splitting the middle term method.]
= 4k(3y2+5y–3y–5)
= 4k[y(3y+5)–1(3y+5)]
= 4k(3y+5)(y–1)
Possible expression for length = 4k

FAQs on Polynomials (Exercise 2.4) NCERT Solutions - Mathematics (Maths) Class 9

1. What are polynomials?
Ans. Polynomials are algebraic expressions consisting of variables and coefficients, combined using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and exponentiation operations. They are commonly represented in the form of terms, where each term has a variable raised to a non-negative integer power, multiplied by a coefficient.
2. How do you classify polynomials based on the number of terms?
Ans. Polynomials can be classified based on the number of terms they have. A polynomial with one term is called a monomial, with two terms is called a binomial, with three terms is called a trinomial, and a polynomial with more than three terms is called a polynomial with more than three terms.
3. What is the degree of a polynomial?
Ans. The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in the polynomial. It helps in determining the behavior and characteristics of the polynomial. For example, a polynomial with a degree of 2 is called a quadratic polynomial, and a polynomial with a degree of 3 is called a cubic polynomial.
4. How do you add or subtract polynomials?
Ans. To add or subtract polynomials, we combine like terms, which have the same variable raised to the same power. We add or subtract the coefficients of these like terms while keeping the variable and its power unchanged. It is important to align the terms properly before performing the addition or subtraction operation.
5. How do you multiply polynomials?
Ans. To multiply polynomials, we use the distributive property and multiply each term of one polynomial with each term of the other polynomial. We then collect like terms, if any, and simplify the resulting expression by combining the like terms. The resulting expression is the product of the two polynomials.
