Polynomials - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 1

If α,β and γ are the zeros of the polynomial 2x3 – 6x2 – 4x + 30, then the value of (αβ + βγ + γα) is

Detailed Solution for Polynomials - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 1

We have a 3 degree polynomial here of form
ax3 + bx2 + cx +d = 0
Polynomial p(x) = 2x3 – 6x2 – 4x + 30

The roots of this polynomial are α, β, γ
We have formula for products of zeroes taking 2 at a time = αβ + βγ + αγ = c/a
αβ + βγ + αγ = -4/2 = -2

Polynomials - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 2

The quadratic polynomial whose sum of zeroes is 3 and product of zeroes is –2 is :

Detailed Solution for Polynomials - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 2

Sum of zeroes = 3

Product of zeroes = -2

Let the quadratic polynomial be ax2 + bx + c

Sum of zeroes = 3

-b/a = 3/1

So a = 1, b = -3

Product of zeroes = -2

c/a = -2/1

So a = 1, c = -2

Hence the  quadratic polynomial will be   x2 - 3x - 2

Polynomials - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 3

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

Detailed Solution for Polynomials - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 3

Given ,g(x)=x+2=0
x=-2

P(x)=x3-2ax2+16
p(-2)=(-23) -2 × a × (-22)+16
=-8 - 8a +16
=8 - 8a
=>-8a = -8
=>a=1

Polynomials - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 4

If α,β and γ are the zeros of the polynomial f(x) = x3 + px2 – pqrx + r, then   =

Polynomials - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 5

If the parabola f(x) = ax2 + bx + c passes through the points (–1, 12), (0, 5) and (2, –3), the value of a + b + c is –

Detailed Solution for Polynomials - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 5

f(x)=ax2+bx+c

It is given that f(0)=5, f(−1)=12 and f(2)=−3

f(0)=c=5 ... (i)

 

f(−1)=a−b+c=12

∴a−b=12−c

∵c=5

∴a−b=12−5 =7 ... (ii)

 

f(2)=4a+2b+c=−3

⇒4a+2b=−3−c

as c=5

⇒4a+2b=−8 

⇒2a+b=−4 ... (iii)

Solving (ii) and (iii), we get

a=1

b=−6

Hence, a=1,b=−6,c=5

Thus, a+b+c =1−6+5 =0.

Polynomials - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 6

If a, b are the zeros of f(x) = x2 + px + 1 and c, d are the zeros of f(x) = x2 + qx + 1 the value of E = (a – c) (b – c) (a + d) (b + d) is –

Detailed Solution for Polynomials - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 6

The given polynomials are

f(x) = x² + px + 1

g(x) = x² + qx + 1

Since a, b are the zeroes of f(x),

a + b = - p ..... (1)

ab = 1 ..... (2)

Since c, d are the zeroes of g(x),

c + d = - q ..... (3)

cd = 1 ..... (4)

Now, E = (a - c) (b - c) (a + d) (b + d)

= {ab - (a + b)c + c²} {ab + (a + b)d + d²}

= (1 + pc + c²) (1 - pd + d²) [by (1) & (2)]

= 1 - pd + d² + pc - p²cd + pcd² + c² - pc²d + c²d²

= 1 - pd + d² + pc - p²(cd) + p(cd)d + c² - pc(cd) + (cd)²

= 1 - pd + d² + pc - p² + pd + c² - pc + 1 [by (4)]

= 2 + c² + d² - p²

= 2 + (c + d)² - 2(cd) - p²

= 2 + (- q)² - 2 - p² [by (3) & (4)]

= q² - p²

Polynomials - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 7

If α,β are zeros of ax+ bx + c then zeros of a3x2 + abcx + c3 are –

Detailed Solution for Polynomials - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 7

Polynomials - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 8

Let α,β be the zeros of the polynomial x2 – px + r and    be the zeros of x2 – qx + r. Then the value
of r is –

Detailed Solution for Polynomials - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 8

Since a and b are roots of  x2 – px + r = 0 
We can say a+b=p....say equation 1 and ab=r
Also a/2 and 2b are roots of  x2 – qx + r  
So, a/2 +2b=q ..... say equation 2 and a/2*2b=ab=r
2(equation1)-equation 2 = 2a -a/2 +2b-2b = 2p-q
so 3a/2=2p-q
a=2(2p-q)/3
Substituting in equation 1
We get b=p-4p/3+2q/3=(2q-p)/3
So we know ab=r=2(2p-q)(2q-p)/9

Polynomials - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 9

When x200 + 1 is divided by x2 + 1, the remainder is equal to –

Detailed Solution for Polynomials - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 9

When x200 + 1 is divided by x2 + 1, the remainder is equal to

x²⁰⁰ + 1 =  x²⁰⁰ + (x¹⁹⁸ - x¹⁹⁸ - x¹⁹⁶ + x¹⁹⁶ + x¹⁹⁴  - x¹⁹⁴ - x¹⁹² + x¹⁹² +x¹⁹⁰ - x¹⁹⁰ +..................-x⁴ + x⁴ + x² - x² - 1 + 1 )+ 1

=> x²⁰⁰ + 1  = x²⁰⁰ + x¹⁹⁸ - x¹⁹⁸ - x¹⁹⁶ + x¹⁹⁶ + x¹⁹⁴  - x¹⁹⁴ - x¹⁹² + x¹⁹² +x¹⁹⁰ - x¹⁹⁰ +..................-x⁴ + x⁴ + x² - x² - 1 + 1 + 1

=> x²⁰⁰ + 1  = x¹⁹⁸(x² + 1) - x¹⁹⁶(x² + 1) + x¹⁹⁴(x² + 1)  - x¹⁹²(x² +1) + x¹⁹⁰(x² +1) - x¹⁸⁸(x²+1) +..................+ x²(x² + 1) - (x² + 1) + 1 + 1

=>  x²⁰⁰ + 1  = x¹⁹⁸(x² + 1) - x¹⁹⁶(x² + 1) + x¹⁹⁴(x² + 1)  - x¹⁹²(x² +1) + x¹⁹⁰(x² +1) - x¹⁸⁸(x²+1) +..................+ x²(x² + 1) - 1.(x² + 1) + 2

=>  x²⁰⁰ + 1  = (x² + 1)(x¹⁹⁸- x¹⁹⁶ + x¹⁹⁴ - x¹⁹² + x¹⁹⁰ - x¹⁸⁸+..................+ x² - 1) + 2

=> when x²⁰⁰ + 1 is divided by x² + 1  the reminder = 2

Polynomials - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 10

If a (p + q)2 + 2bpq + c = 0 and also a(q + r)2 + 2bqr + c = 0 then pr is equal to –

Detailed Solution for Polynomials - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 10

A*(p+q)^2 + 2bpq + c = 0 and a*(p+r)^2 +2bpr + c = 0 
=> aq^2 + 2p(a+b)q + ap^2 + c = 0
and ar^2 + 2p(a+b)r + ap^2 + c = 0 

=> q and r are the roots of the equation 
ax^2 + 2p(a+b)x + ap^2 + c = 0 
=> qr = (ap^2 + c) / a.

Detailed Solution for Polynomials - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 22

If α,β are the roots of the polynomial x2 - px + q.


α + β = p and αβ = q


if the roots are (α22)(α3 - β3) and (α3β2 + α2β3)


= (α22)(α3 - β3) + (α3β2 + α2β3)


= (α +β)(α -β)2(α2 + αβ+ β2) + α2β2(α + β).


= (α +β)[ (α +β)2 - 4αβ ] [ (α +β)2 - αβ ] + α2β2(α + β).


= p( p2 - 4q)( p2 - q) + q2p


= p( p4 - p2q -4p2q + 4q2) + pq2


= p5 - 5p3q + 5pq2 .


⇒ (α22)(α3 - β3)(α3β2 + α2β3) = (p6q2-5p4q3+4p2q4)


∴ x2- (p5 - 5p3q + 5pq2 ) x + ( p6q2 - 5p4q3 + 4p2q4 ) = 0

Detailed Solution for Polynomials - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 24

α+β=−b
αβ=ac
Similarly,
α+γ=−a
αγ=bc
Now α is the common root.
Therefore, from the equations,
αβ=ac and αγ=bc
We get the common root α=c
Therefore
β=a and γ=b


Since α+β=−b
Hence
c+a=−b
a+b+c=0

Detailed Solution for Polynomials - Olympiad Level MCQ, Class 10 Mathematics - Question 28

α+β = -b/a    (eq1)    αβ = c/a  (eq 2)

let the second equation cx2 + bx + a has roots x and y

x+y = -b/c   (eq 3)   xy = a/c (eq 4)

divide eq 1 by eq 3 

α+β / x+y = (-b/a) / (-b/c)

                = c/a

                = αβ

 

α+β / αβ = x+y

x+y = 1/α + 1/β
