1 If p(x) is a polynomial of at least degree one and p(k) = 0, then k is known as


(a) value of p(x)
(b) zero of p(x)
(c) constant term of p(x) (d) none of these

ANS: (b) Zero of p(x)


Let p(x) = ax + b
Put x = k p(k) = ak + b = 0
∴ k is zero of p(x)

2 Which of the following is not the graph of a quadratic polynomial?

ANS: (a) ∵ It crosses the x-axis in three points.

3 Zeroes of p(z) = z2 – 27 are ______ and ______.

ANS: ∵ For zeroes z2 – 27 = 0

⇒ z2 = 27 ⇒z=

⇒z=±3
4 Zeroes of a polynomial can be determined graphically. No. of zeroes of a polynomial is equal to no. of points where
the graph of polynomial
(a) intersects y-axis
(b) intersects x-axis
(c) intersects y-axis or intersects x-axis
(d) none of these

ANS: (b) Intersects x-axis

5 If graph of a polynomial does not intersects the x-axis but intersects y-axis in one point, then no. of zeroes of the
polynomial is equal to
(a) 0

(b) 1
(c) 0 or 1
(d) none of these

ANS: (a) Zero

6 A polynomial of degree n has (a) only 1 zero


(b) at least n zeroes
(c) at most n zeroes
(d) more than n zeroes

ANS: (c) Maximum number of zeroes of a polynomial = degree of the polynomial.

7 If one of the zeroes of a quadratic polynomial of the form x2 + ax + b is the negative of the other, then it (a) has no
linear term and the constant term is negative.
(b) has no linear term and the constant term is positive.
(c) can have a linear term but the constant term is negative. (d) can have a linear term
but the constant term is positive.

ANS: (a) f(x) = x2 + ax + b


Given: zeroes are α and – α Sum
of zeroes = α – α = 0
∴ f(x) = x2 + b, which is not linear

Product of zeroes = α(– α) = – α2


=
⇒ –a2 = b
It is possible when, b < 0.
Hence, it has no linear term and the constant term is negative.

8 If one factor of x3 + 7kx2 – 4kx + 12 is (x + 3), then the value of k is ________.

ANS: p(x) = x3 + 7kx2 – 4kx + 12 p(–3)


= (– 3)3 + 7k(–3)2 – 4k (– 3) + 12
∵ x + 3 is a factor
∴ p(–3) = 0
⇒ –27 + 63k + 12k + 12 = 0

⇒ 75k – 15 = 0 ⇒ k =

9. The graph of y = f(x) is given below. How many zeroes are there of f(x)? 10

Therefore number of zeroes of f(x) is one.

10. The graph of y = f(x) is given, how many zeroes are there of f(x)?

ANS: Graph y = f(x) does not intersect x-axis.


f(x) has no zeroes.

12.Graph of y = f(x) is given. Find the zeroes and number of zeroes of f(x).

ANS: Graph of the f(x) intersects x-axis at A(–2, 0) and C(2, 0)

∴ it has two zeroes and these zeroes are x = – 2 and x = 2

17. Find the zeroes of p(x) = 100x2 – 81 quadratic polynomials and verify the relationship between the zeroes and
their coefficients.

ANS: p(x) = 100x2 – 81


For zeroes, p(x) = 0
100x2 – 81 = 0 (10x)2 – (9)2 = 0
(10x – 9) (10x + 9) = 0 10x – 9 = 0 or 10x + 9 = 0

Also

Product of zeroes =

Product of zeroes =

18. If x + a is a factor of the polynomial x2 + px + q and x2 + mx + n prove that a =

ANS: Since x + a is a factor of x2 + px + q then


(– a)2 – pa + q = 0 a2 = pa – q ...(i) also (x +
a) is a factor of x2 + mx + n then we get
(– a)2 – am + n = 0
a2 – am + n = 0
a2 = am – n ...(ii)
From eq. (i) and (ii), we get
am – n = ap – q
am – ap = n – q
Hence, a =

18 A group consists of 12 honest people and 8 dishonest people. Write a quadratic polynomial whose
roots are equal to number of honest people and number of dishonest people.

ANS: Number of honest people = 12


Number of dishonest people = 8
Sum of roots = 12 + 8 = 20
Product of roots = 12 × 8 = 96
Quadratic polynomial = k (x2 – 20x + 96)
