Factorise `x^(2)+6sqrt(6)x+48`. |
Answer» Here, `a=1, b=6sqrt(6), c=48` `therefore a xx c=48` `48=2xx2xx2xx2xx3` `=sqrt(2)xxsqrt(2)xx2xx2xx2xxsqrt(3)xxsqrt(3)` `=2sqrt(6)xx4sqrt(6)` Now, we take two factors of 48 whose sum is `6sqrt(6)` Such factors are `2sqrt(6)` and `4sqrt(6)` `therefore x^(2)+6sqrt(6)x+48=x^(2)+2sqrt(6)x+4sqrt(6)x+48` `=x(x+2sqrt(6))+4sqrt(6)(x+2sqrt(6))` `=(x+2sqrt(6))(x+4sqrt(6))` |

Check whether p(x) is a multiple of g(x) or not(i) p(x) = x3 – 5x2 + 4x – 3, g(x) = x – 2.(ii) p(x) = 2x3 – 11x2 – 4x+ 5, g(x) = 2x + l |
Answer» (i) p(x) = x3 – 5x2 + 4x – 3, g(x) = x – 2. According to the question, g(x)=x – 2, Then, zero of g(x), g(x) = 0 x – 2 = 0 x = 2 Therefore, zero of g(x) = 2 So, substituting the value of x in p(x), we get, p(2) =(2)3 – 5(2)2 + 4(2) – 3 = 8 – 20 + 8 – 3 = – 7 ≠ 0 Hence, p(x) is not the multiple of g(x) since the remainder ≠ 0. (ii) p(x) = 2x3 – 11x2 – 4x+ 5, g(x) = 2x + l According to the question, g(x)= 2x + 1 Then, zero of g(x), g(x) = 0 2x + 1 = 0 2x = – 1 x = – ½ Therefore, zero of g(x) = – ½ So, substituting the value of x in p(x), we get, p(–½) = 2 × ( – ½ )3 – 11 × ( – ½ )2 – 4 × ( – 1/2) + 5 = – ¼ – 11/4 + 7 = 16/4 = 4 ≠ 0 Hence, p(x) is not the multiple of g(x) since the remainder ≠ 0. |

Show that (i) `x+3 ` is factor of `69+11x-x^(2)+x^(3)` (ii) `2x-3` is factor of `x+2x^(3)-9x^(2)+12` |
Answer» (I) let `p(x) =x^(3)-x^(2)+11 x+69` we have to show that , x+3 is a factor of p(x) . `i.e., p(-3)=0` Now `p(-3)=(-3)^(3)-(-3)^(2)+11(-3)+69` `=-2-9-33+69=-69+69=0` hence ,(x+3) is a factor of p(x) . (ii) Let `p(x) =2x^(3)-9x^(2)+x+12` we have to show that ,2x -3 is a factor of p(x). i.e., `p((3)/(2))=0` Now , `p((3)/(2))=2((3)/(2))^(3)-9((3)/(2))^(2)+(3)/(2)+12` `=2xx(27)/(8) -9xx(9)/(4)+(3)/(2)+12` ` =(27)/(4)-(81)/(4) +(3)/(2)+12` `=(27-81+6+48)/(4)=(81-81)/(4)=0` Hence ,`(2x-3)` is a factor of p(x). |

If a – b, a and a + b are zeros of the polynomial f (x) = 2x3 – 6x2 + 5x – 7, write the value of a. |
Answer» Given: A polynomial f(x) = 2x3 – 6x2 + 5x – 7 And zeroes are a – b, a and a + b, Let’s take a = α b = β c = y As we know that, α + β + y = – b/a (a – b) + a + (a + b) = – ( – 6)/2 3a = 3 a = 1 So, the value of a = 1 |

If x3 + x2 - ax + b is divisible by (x2 -x),write the value of a and b. |
Answer» Equating x2 – x to 0 to find the zeroes, we will get x(x – 1) = 0 ⇒ x = 0 or x – 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 0 or x = 1 Since, x3 + x2 – ax + b is divisible by x2 – x. Hence, the zeroes of x2 – x will satisfy x3 + x2 – ax + b ∴ (0)3 + 02 – a(0) + b = 0 ⇒ b = 0 And (1)3 + 12 – a(1) + 0 = 0 [∵b = 0] ⇒ a = 2 |

Show that p - 1 is a factor of p10 -1 and also of p11 -1. |
Answer» Let g (p) = p10 -1 and h(p) = p11 -1. On putting p=1 in Eq. (i), we get g(1)=110-1 = 1-1=0 Hence, p-1 is a factor of g(p). Again, putting p = 1 in Eq. (ii), we get h(1) = (1)11 - 1 = 1 - 1 = 0 Hence, p -1 is a factor of h(p) |

Show that,(i) x + 3 is a factor of 69 + 11c – x2 + x3(ii) 2x – 3 is a factor of x + 2x3 -9x2 +12 |
Answer» (i) According to the question, Let p(x) = 69 + 11x − x2 + x3 and g(x) = x + 3 g(x) = x + 3 zero of g(x) ⇒ g(x) = 0 x + 3 = 0 x = – 3 Therefore, zero of g(x) = – 3 So, substituting the value of x in p(x), we get, p( – 3) = 69 + 11( – 3) –( – 3)2 + ( – 3)3 = 69 – 69 = 0 Since, the remainder = zero, We can say that, g(x) = x + 3 is factor of p(x) = 69 + 11x − x2 + x3 (ii) According to the question, Let p(x) = x + 2x3 – 9x2 + 12 and g(x) =2x−3 g(x) = 2x – 3 zero of g(x) ⇒ g(x) = 0 2x – 3 = 0 x = 3/2 Therefore, zero of g(x) = 3/2 So, substituting the value of x in p(x), we get, P(3/2) = 3/2 + 2(3/2)3 – 9(3/2)2 + 12 = (81 – 81) / 4 = 0 Since, the remainder = zero, We can say that, g(x) = 2x – 3 is factor of p(x) = x + 2x3 – 9x2 + 12 |

If (a - b) , a and (a + b) are zeros of the polynomial 2x3 - 6x2 + 5x - 7 write the value of a |
Answer» By using the relationship between the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial. We have Sum of zeroes = \(\frac{-(coefficient\,of\,x^2)}{coefficient\,of\,x^3}\) ⇒ a – b + a + a + b = \(\frac{-(-6)}2\) ⇒ 3a = 3 ⇒ a = 1 |

If `alpha,beta,gamma` are the roots of equation `x^3+ qx + r =0` then find thene find the value of `1/6 (sum alpha^3)^2`. |
Answer» `x^3 + qx + r =0` roots of the equation are`alpha , beta, gamma` `alpha + beta + gamma= 0` `gamma beta + beta alpha + gamma alpha = - q` `alpha beta gamma = r` we have to find : `[1/3 sum alpha^3][1/2 sum alpha^3]` `= 1/6 [ sum alpha^3]^2` `= 1/6[alpha^3 + beta^3 + gamma ^3]^2` if `a+b+c = 0` then `a^3+ b^3+c^3 = 3abc` `= 1/6(3 alpha beta gamma)^2` `= (9r^2)/6 = 3/2r^2` answer |
