Detailed Solution for Test: Polynomials - 1 - Question 6

Test: Polynomials - 1 - Question 7

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

Detailed Solution for Test: Polynomials - 1 - 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 for Test: Polynomials - 1 - 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.
Test: Polynomials - 1 - Question 9

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

Detailed Solution for Test: Polynomials - 1 - 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

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

Detailed Solution for Test: Polynomials - 1 - 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.
Test: Polynomials - 1 - Question 11

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

Detailed Solution for Test: Polynomials - 1 - 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.
Test: Polynomials - 1 - Question 12

The factors of 2x2 – 3x – 2 are :-

Detailed Solution for Test: Polynomials - 1 - Question 12

2x2 – 3x – 2

2x2 - 4x + x - 2 = 0

2x2(x-2) +1(x-2) = 0

(2x+1) (x-2)

Test: Polynomials - 1 - Question 13

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

Detailed Solution for Test: Polynomials - 1 - 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.
Test: Polynomials - 1 - Question 14

The factors of x3 – 2x2 – 13x – 10 are :-

Detailed Solution for Test: Polynomials - 1 - Question 14

Test: Polynomials - 1 - Question 15

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

Detailed Solution for Test: Polynomials - 1 - 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.
Test: Polynomials - 1 - Question 16

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

Detailed Solution for Test: Polynomials - 1 - 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.
Test: Polynomials - 1 - Question 17

The expanded form of (x+1/3)3 is :-  

Detailed Solution for Test: Polynomials - 1 - 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 = 1/27 Combining these terms, the expanded form is: x3 + x2 + (1/3)x + 1/27 Therefore, the correct option is B.
Test: Polynomials - 1 - Question 18

x3 + y3 + z3 – 3xyz is :-

Detailed Solution for Test: Polynomials - 1 - 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.

Test: Polynomials - 1 - Question 19

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

Detailed Solution for Test: Polynomials - 1 - 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)

Test: Polynomials - 1 - Question 20

 is equal to :-

Detailed Solution for Test: Polynomials - 1 - Question 20

Test: Polynomials - 1 - Question 21

√2 is a polynomial of degree

Detailed Solution for Test: Polynomials - 1 - Question 21

The highest power of the variable is known as the degree of the polynomial.

√2x^0 = √2
hence the degree of the polynomial is zero.

Test: Polynomials - 1 - Question 22

The degree of the polynomial 4x4+0x3+0x5+5x+74x4+0x3+0x5+5x+7 is

The degree of the polynomial 4x4+0x3+0x5+5x+74x4+0x3+0x5+5x+7 is

Test: Polynomials - 1 - Question 23

The degree of the zero polynomial is

Detailed Solution for Test: Polynomials - 1 - Question 23

The degree of zero polynomial is not defined, because, in zero polynomial, the coefficient of any variable is zero i.e., Oxor Ox5, etc. Hence, we cannot exactly determine the degree of the variable.  

Test: Polynomials - 1 - Question 24

Detailed Solution for Test: Polynomials - 1 - 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 for Test: Polynomials - 1 - Question 25

 p(x)=x+3

 p(-x)=-x+3

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