α + β = \(-\left(\frac{-5}{1}\right)\) = 5
αβ = \(\frac{k}{1}\) = k
α – β = 1 or (α – β )2 = 1
or (α + β )2 – 4αβ = 1
or 25 – 4k = 1
4k = 24 ∴ k= \(\frac{24}{4}\) = 6

Short Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
Without applying the process of division prove that
(i) x2 + (a – 3) x – 3a is exactly divisible by (x + a)
(ii) 3x3 + 11x2 + x – 15 is exactly divisible by (x – 1)
Solution:
(i) If the given expression is exactly divisible by (x + a), then putting the value x = – a, the value of the expression will become zero. Therefore putting the value x = – a in the expression
(- a)2 + (a – 3) (- a) – 3a
= a2 – a2 + 3a – 3a = 0
Hence the expression x2 + (a – 3) x – 3a is exactly divisible by (x + a).

(ii) Putting x = 1 in the expression
3(1)3 + 11(1)2 + 1 – 15
= 3 + 11 + 1 – 15 = 0
Hence the expression 3x3 + 11x2 + x – 15 is exactly divisible by the expression (x – 1).

Question 2.
For what value of a is the polynomial x3 + 2x2 – 3ax – 8 completely divisible by the expression (x – 4).
Solution:
We know that on dividing by (x – 4), the remainder f(4) will be obtained
f(x) = x3 + 2x2 – 3ax – 8
f(4) = (4)3 + 2(4)2 – 3a × 4 – 8
= 64 + 32 – 12a – 8 = 0
0 = 88 – 12a
or 12a = 88
a = \(\frac{88}{12}\) = \(\frac{22}{3}\)

RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 2 Polynomials

Question 3.
Prove that the zeroes of the polynomial x2 + 2x + 3 do not exist.
Solution:
Suppose that
f(x) = x2 + 2x + 3
f(x)= {x2 + 2 × x+ 1} + 2
= (-x + 1)2 + 2
Here for real values of x, the value of (x + 1)2 will not be negative. Therefore (x + 1)2 will always be greater than zero. Hence the value of f(x) will always be greater than 2.

Question 4.
For what value of p will the polynomial px3 + 9x2 + 6x – 1 be completely divisible by (3x + 2)?
Solution:
It is given that (3x + 2) is a factor of the given expression.
∴ 3x + 2 = 0
∴ 3x= – 2 ∴ x = \(\frac{-2}{3}\)
Putting the value x = \(\frac{-2}{3}\) in the expression f(x) = px3 + 9x2+ 6x – 1

Find a quadratic polynomial the sum and product of whose zeroes are 4 and 1 respectively.
Solution:
Given that
α + β = 4 and
αβ = 1
Where the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial are α and β.
∴ Quadratic polynomial = (x – α) (x – β)
= x2 – (α + β ) x + αβ
= x2 – 4x + 1
Hence the required polynomial = x2 – 4x + 1

Question 7.
If (x – 1) and (x + 2) are the factors of the polynomial 2x3 + mx2 + nx – 14 then find the values of m and rt.
Solution:
Let f(x) = 2x3 + mx2 + nx – 14
Then if (x – 1) and (x + 2) are the factors of f(x). Then
f(1) = 0 and f(- 2) = 0
Putting x = 1 in the polynomial
2x3 + mx2 + nx – 14
f(1) = m2(1)3 + m(1)2 + n( 1) – 14 = 0
f(1) = 2 + m + n – 14
⇒ m + n — 12 = 0 …..(1)
Putting x = – 2 in the polynomial
2x3 + mx2 + nx – 14
f(- 2) = 2(- 2)3 + m(- 2)2 + n(- 2) – 14 = 0
⇒ f(-2) = – 16 + 4m – 2n – 14 = 0
⇒ 4m – 2n – 30= 0 …..(2)
From equation (1) and (2)
m + n – 12 ……(3)
2m – n = 15 ……(4)
Adding
3m = 27
⇒ m = 9
From equation (3), n = 3
Therefore m = 9 and n = 3

Question 8.
If the polynomial x3 + lx + m is divided by (x – 1) or (x + 1), then the remainder 7 is left. Find the values of l and m.
Solution:
f(x) = x3 + lx + m and (x – 1) or (x + 1) are its factors when we subtract 7 from it. Hence
f(1)= 1 + l + m – 7 = 0
⇒ l + m – 6 = 0 ……..(1)
and f(- 1) = – 1 – l + m – 7 = 0
⇒ – l + m – 8=0 ……(2)
Solving equations (1) and (2), l = – 1 and m = 7

Question 9.
Find the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial x2 + 7x + 10 and verify the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients.
Solution:
According to the question
x2 + 7x + 10
= (x + 2) (x + 5)
Therefore the value of x2 + 7x + 10 is zero when x + 2 = 0 or x + 5 = 0, i.e., x = – 2 or x = – 5. Therefore, the zeroes of x2 + 7x + 10 are – 2 and – 5. Now,
Sum of the zeroes = – 2 + (- 5)
= (-7)
RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 2 Polynomials 4
Therefore the sum and product of zeroes – 2 and – 5 are the same as there are in it.
∴ The relationship between the zeroes and the coefficient of the polynomial is verified.

Question 10.
Find a quadratic polynomial the sum and product of whose zeroes are 0 and \(\sqrt{5}\) respectively.
Solution:
Let the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial be α and β,
Given that, α + β = 0
α β = \(\sqrt{5}\)
∵ α and β are the zeroes
∴ Quadratic polynomial = (x – α) (x – β)
= x2 – (α + β) x + αβ
= x2 – 0x + \(\sqrt{5}\)
= x2 + 75
Hence the required polynomial = x2 + \(\sqrt{5}\)

RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 2 Polynomials

Question 11.
If the sum of the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial kx2 + 5x + 3k is equal to their product, then find the value of k.
Solution:
According to the given polynomial kx2 + 5x + 3k,
Sum of the zeroes (α + β) = \(-\frac{5}{k}\)
and product of the zeroes (αβ) = \(\frac{3k}{k}\) = 3
Now according to the question
\(-\frac{5}{k}\) = \(\frac{3}{1}\)
⇒ 3k = 5
⇒ k = \(-\frac{5}{3}\)

Question 12.
Divide 3x3 + x2 + 2x + 5 by 1 + 2x + x2.
Solution:
Here It is given that
f(x) = 3x3 + x2 + 2x + 5
and g(x) = 1 + 2x + x2 = x2 + 2x + 1

RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 2 Polynomials

Long Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
Find the factors of the following polynomials using the remainder theorem :
(i) x3 – 2x2 – 5x + 6
(ii) 2x3 – x2 – 13x – 6
(iii) y3 – 7y + 6
(iv) x3 – 6x2 + 3x + 10
Solution:
(i) f(x) = x3 – 2x2 – 5x + 6
Putting x = 1
f(1)= 13 – 2.12 – 5.1 + 6
= 1 – 2 – 5 + 6 = 0
∵ (x – 1) is a factor of f(x).
Hence expression = x3 – x2 – x2 + x – 6x + 6 [We arrange first two terms such that taking common (x – 1) is left, also onwards we make such pairs of two terms that this process continues.]
= x2(x – 1) – x (x – 1) – 6 (x – 1)
= (x – 1) (x2 – x – 6)
= (x – 1) (x + 2) (x – 3)

Second Method—
∵ (x – 1) is one factor of f(x)
∴ by division process
RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 2 Polynomials 6
So x3 – 2x2 – 5x + 6 = (x – 1) (x2 – x – 6)
= (x – 1) (x – 3) (x + 2)

(ii) f(x) = 2x3 – x2 – 13x – 6
Putting the value x = – 2
2(- 2)3 – (-2)2 – 13(- 2) – 6
= -16 – 4 + 26 – 6 = 0
Therefore (x + 2) will be a factor of f(x)
So, 2x3 + 4x2 – 5x2 – 10x – 3x – 6
= 2x2(x + 2) – 5x(x + 2) – 3(x + 2)
= (x + 2) (2x2 – 5x – 3)
= (x + 2) {2x2 – 6x + x – 3}
= (x + 2) {2x(x – 3) + 1(x – 3)}
= (x + 2) (x – 3) (2x + 1)

(iii) f(y) = y3 – 7y + 6
In the given expression. Putting y = 1
f(1) = (1)23 – 7(1) + 6 = 1 – 7 + 6 = 0
Therefore (y – 1) will be a factor of the given expression.
Now we group in twos the terms of the given expression such that (y – 1) may become a common factor in these.
y3 – 7y + 6
= y3 – y2 + y2 – 7y + 6 (∵ y2 – y2 = 0)
= y2(y – 1) + y2 – y + y – 7y + 6 (∵ y – y = 0)
= y2(y – 1) + y(y – 1) – 6y + 6
= y2(y – 1) + y(y – 1) – 6(y – 1)
In the whole expression taking (y – 1) common
(y – 1) (y2 + y – 6)
= (y – 1) {y2 + 3y – 2y – 6}
= (y – i) {y(y + 3) – 2(y + 3)}
= (y – 1) {(y – 2) (y + 3)}
= (y – 1) (y – 2) (y + 3)

(iv) f(x) = x3 – 6x2 + 3x + 10
Putting x = – 1 in the given expression
(-1)3 – 6(-1)2 + 3(-1) + 10
= -1 – 6 – 3 + 10
= – 10 + 10 = 0
Therefore (x + 1) will be a factor of the given expression.
Now we group in twos the given terms of the given expression such that (x + 1) may become a common factor in these. x3 – 6x2 + 3x + 10
= x3 + x2 – x2 – 6x2 + 3x + 10 (∵ x2 – x2 = 0)
= x2 (x + 1) – 7x2 – 7x + 7x + 3x + 10 (∵ 7x – 7x = 0)
= x2(x + 1) – 7x(x + 1) + 10x + 10
= x2(x + 1) – 7x(x + 1) + 10(x + 1)
Taking (x + 1) common in the whole expression
= (x + 1) (x2 – 7x + 10)
= (x + 1) (x2 – 5x – 2x + 10)
= (x + 1) {x(x – 5) – 2(x – 5)}
= (x + I) {(x – 2) (x – 5)}
= (x + 1) (x – 2) (x – 5)

Question 2.
If (x + 1) and (x – 2) are the factors of the polynomial x3 + kx2 + hx + 6 then find the value of h and k.
Solution:
Let f(x) = x3 + kx2 + hx + 6
If (x + 1) and (x – 2) are the factors of f(x), then
f(-1) = 0 and f(2) = 0
∴ f(-1) = (- 1)3 + k(-1)2 + h(- 1) + 6 = 0
⇒ -1 + k – h + 6 = 0
⇒ k – h + 5=0 ….(1)
and f(2) = (2)3 + k(2)2 + h(2) + 6 = 0
= 8 + 4k + 2h + 6 = 0
⇒ 4k + 2h + 14 = 0 …….(2)
Solving equation (1) and (2)
Multiplying equation (1) by 2 and adding to equation (2)
RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 2 Polynomials 7
Putting the value of ft in equation (1)
k – h = – 5
⇒ – 4 – h = – 5
⇒ -h = -5 + 4 = -1
⇒ h = 1
Hence we get h = 1 and k = – 4.

Question 3.
One factor of the polynomial f(x) = 3x3 + ax2 + 4x + b is (x + 2). If it is divided by (x – 3) then a remainder of – 5 is left. Find the values of a and b.
Solution:
f(x) = 3x3 + ax2 + 4x + b
Its factor is (x + 2). Therefore,
f(- 2) = 3(- 2)3 + a(-2)2 + 4(-2) + 2 = 0
⇒ – 24 + 4a – 8 + b
⇒ 4a + b – 32 = 0 …..(1)
and adding + 5 the factor is (x – 3). Hence
f(x) = 3x3 + ax2 + 4x + b
f(3) + 5 = 3(3)3 + a(3)2 + 4 × 3 + b + 5 = 0
⇒ 81 + 9a + 12 + b + 5 = 0
⇒ 9a + b + 98 = 0 ……(2)
Solving equations (1) and (2)
RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 2 Polynomials 8
Putting the value of a in equation (1)
4a + b = 32
4(- 26) + b = 32
– 104 + b = 32
b = 104 + 32 = 136
Therefore a = – 26, b = 136

Question 4.
Verify that 3, -1 and \(-\frac{1}{3}\) are the zeroes of the cubic polynomial p(x) = 3x3 – 5x2 – 11x – 3, and then verify the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients.
Solution:
Comparing the given polynomial with ax3 + bx2 + cx + d, we get a = 3, b = -5, c = -11, d = -3.
Again,
p(3)= 3 × 33 – (5 × 32) – (11 × 3) – 3
= 81 – 45 – 33 – 3 = 0
p(- 1) = 3 × (- 1)3 – 5 × (- 1)2 – 11 × (-1) – 3
= -3 – 5 + 11 – 3 = 0

Hence, 3, -1 and \(-\frac{1}{3}\) are the zeroes of 3x3 – 5x2 – 11x – 3.
So, we take α = 3, β = – 1 and γ = \(-\frac{1}{3}\).
Now,

Hence the sum and product by the zeroes 3, – 1 and \(-\frac{1}{3}\) are the same as there are in it.
Therefore the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients of the polynomial is verified.

Question 5.
Divide 3x2 – x3 – 3x + 5 by x – 1 – x2, and verify the division algorithm.
Solution:
The given polynomials are not in standard form. To carry out division, we first write both. The dividend and divisor in decreasing order of their degrees.
So, dividend = – x3 + 3x2 – 3x + 5 and divisor = – x2 + x – 1.
Division process is shown below :
RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 2 Polynomials 11
We stop here since degree 0 of 3 is less than degree 2 of -x2 + x – 1.
So by carrying out the division process, the remainder obtained is 3 and the quotient obtained is x – 2.
Now, divisor x quotient + remainder
= (- x2 + x – 1) (x – 2) + 3
= -x3 + x2 – x + 2x2 – 2x + 2 + 3
= -x3 + 3x2 – 3x + 5
= dividend
Hence, the division algorithm is verified.

Question 6.
Find all the zeroes of 2x4 – 3x3 – 3x2 + 6x – 2, if you know that two of
its zeroes are \(\sqrt{2}\) and \(-\sqrt{2}\).
Solution:
Since two zeroes are \(\sqrt{2}\) and \(-\sqrt{2}\). Therefore (x – \(\sqrt{2}\) ) (x + \(\sqrt{2}\)) = x2 – 2 is a factor of the given polynomial.
Therefore,
RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 2 Polynomials 12
Now, by splitting – 3x, we factorise 2x2 – 3x + 1 as (2x – 1) (x – 1). Therefore, its zeroes will be given by x = \(\frac{1}{2}\) and x = 1.
Therefore, the zeroes of the given polynomial are \(\sqrt{2}\), \(-\sqrt{2}\), \(\frac{1}{2}\) and 1.

Question 7.
Divide x3 – 3x2 + 3x – 5 by x – 1 – x2 and verify the division algorithm.
Solution:
Here f(x) = x3 – 3x2 + 3x – 5
and g(x) = -x2 + x – 1
Now
RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 2 Polynomials 13
We find that
quotient q(x) = -x + 2
and remainder r(x) = -3
Now,
quotient × divisor + remainder
= (-x + 2) (-x2 + x – 1) – 3
= x3 – x2 + x – 2x2 + 2x – 2 – 3
= x3 – 3x2 + 3x – 5
= dividend
Hence, the division algorithm is verified.
