CBSE Test Paper 03
CH-2 Polynomials

Solution

1. (b) 5
Explanation:

Here the highest power is 5.

Therefore, the degree is 5.

2. (a) 3 terms
Explanation: 3 terms of not more than the power of 3
3. (b) p = 2, q = -1
Explanation:

Given : f(x) = px3 + x2 - 2x + q

If x + 1 is a factor of f(x). Then

f(-1) = 0

p (-1)3 + (-1)2 - 2 (-1) + q = 0

-p + 1 + 2 + q = 0

-p + q = -3

p - q = 3. ........(i)

Also, if x - 1 is a factor of f(x), then


p(1)3 + (1)2 - 2(1) + q = 0

p + 1 - 2 + q = 0

p + q = 1. ........(ii)

Adding eq.(i) and (ii), we get

2p = 4

p = 2

Subtracting eq.(ii) from eq.(i), we get

-2q = 2

q = -1

Therefore, p = 2, q = -1

4. (c) – 2
Explanation:

then the value of P(1) + P(-1)

= 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 = 1 - 3 = – 2

5. (b)

Explanation:

2 + 7x – 4

= 2x(x + 4) - 1(x + 4)

= (2x - 1)(x + 4)
2x - 1 = 0 and x + 4 = 0

and x = -4

Therefore, one zero of the given polynomial is

6. 4

7. 1

8.
In each term of this expression, the exponent of the variable x is a whole number.
Hence, it is a polynomial.

9. We have,

1043 + 963 = (100 + 4)3 + (100 - 4)3

= 2(1003 + 3 100 42) [ (a + b)3 + (a - b)3 = 2(a3 + 3ab2)]


= 2(1000000 + 300 16)
= 2(1000000 + 4800)
= 2(1004800)
= 2009600

10. We have,

( a - 3b) (3b + a)( a2 + 9b2)

=( a - 3b) ( a + 3b) ( a2 + 9b2)

= [( a)2 - (3b)2][ a2 + 9b2] [ (a - b) (a + b) = a2 - b2]

=[ a2 - 9b2][ a2 + 9b2]

= ( a2)2 - (9b2)2 [(a - b) (a + b) = a2 - b2]

= a4 - 81b4

11. 25x2 + 4y2 + 9z2 - 20xy - 12yz + 30zx

(5x)2 + (2y)2 + (3z)2 - 2 5x 2y - 2 2y 3z + 2 3z 5x

= (5x)2 + (-2y)2 + (3z)2 + 2(5x)(-2y) + 2(-2y)(3z) + 2(3x)(5x)

= (5x - 2y + 3z)2 [ a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca = (a + b + c)2]


12. Let p(x) = 2x2 + kx - 12
Since, is a zero of the polynimial.

-12=0

3k = 15 k = 5
Hence, the value of k is 5.

13. Given: a + b + c = 9 and a2 + b2 + c2 = 35


We know that,

a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc = (a + b + c)(a2 + b2 + c2 - ab - bc - ca)

a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc = [a + b + c][(a2 + b2 + c2) - (ab + bc + ca)] ......(i)


Now,

(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)

(9)2 = 35 + 2(ab + bc + ca)


81 = 35 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
2(ab + bc + ca) = 81 - 35 = 46
ab + bc + ca = = 23
Substituting the values in (i), we get,

a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc = 9(35 - 23)


= 9 12
= 108

14. By remainder theorem, when f(x) is divided by (x + 2), the remainder is equal to f(-2).

Now, f(x) = 2x4 - 6x3 + 2x2 - x + 2

f(-2) = 2(-2)4 - 6(-2)3 + 2(-2)2 - (-2) + 2


f(-2) = 2 16 - 6 (-8) + 2 4 + 2 + 2 = 32 + 48 + 8 + 2 + 2 = 92
Hence, required remainder = 92.

15. By division algorithm, when p(x) = 4x4 - 2x3 - 6x2 + x - 5 is divided by q(x) = 2x2 + x - 1,
the remainder is a linear expression.
So, let r(x) = ax + b be subtracted from p(x) so that the result is divisible by q(x).
Let f(x) = p(x) - r(x) = p(x) - (ax + b)
or, f(x) = (4x4 - 2x3 - 6x2 + x - 5) - (ax + b)

or, f(x) = 4x4 - 2x3 - 6x2 + x(1 - a) - 5 - b


We have,

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


Clearly, x + 1 and 2x - 1 are factors of q(x). Therefore, f(x) will be divisible by q(x) if x +
1 and 2x - 1 are factors of f(x)
i.e., f(-1) = 0 and f( ) = 0

4 (-1)4 - 2 (-1)3 - 6 (-1)2 + ( -1)(1 - a) - 5 - b = 0

and, - 5 - b = 0
4 + 2 - 6 - 1 + a - 5 - b = 0 and - 5 - b = 0
a - b - 6 =0 and - b - 6 = 0
a - b = 6 and a + 2b = -12
(a - b) - (a + 2b) = 6 - (-12) -3b = 18 b = -6
Putting b = -6 in a - b = 6, we have
a - (- 6) = 6 a + 6 = 6 a = 0
Putting the values of a and b in r(x) = ax + b, we get
r(x) = 0 x - 6 = -6
Hence, p(x) is divisible by q(x), if r(x) = - 6 is subtracted from p(x).
