Question 3:
Give one example each of a binomial of degree 35, and of a monomial of degree 100.
Answer:
Degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in the polynomial.

Therefore, is a zero of the given polynomial.
(ii) If is a zero of polynomial p(x) = 5x − π , then
should be 0.
Therefore, is not a zero of the given polynomial.
(iii) If x = 1 and x = −1 are zeroes of polynomial p(x) = x2 − 1, then p(1) and p(−1) should be 0.
Here, p(1) = (1)2 − 1 = 0, and

p(2) = (2 + 1) (2 − 2 ) = 3 (0) = 0
Therefore, x = −1 and x = 2 are zeroes of the given polynomial.
(v) If x = 0 is a zero of polynomial p(x) = x2, then p(0) should be zero.
Here, p(0) = (0)2 = 0
Hence, x = 0 is a zero of the given polynomial.

(vii) p(x) = cx + d, c ≠ 0, c, are real numbers.
Answer:
Zero of a polynomial is that value of the variable at which the value of the polynomial is obtained as 0.
(i) p(x) = x + 5
p(x) = 0
x + 5 = 0
x = − 5
Therefore, for x = −5, the value of the polynomial is 0 and hence, x = −5 is a zero of the given polynomial.
(ii) p(x) = x − 5
p(x) = 0
x − 5 = 0
x = 5
Therefore, for x = 5, the value of the polynomial is0 and hence, x = 5 is a zero of the given polynomial.
(iii) p(x) = 2x + 5
p(x) = 0
2x + 5 = 0
2x = − 5
Therefore, for, the value of the polynomial is 0 and hence,
is a zero of the given polynomial.
(iv) p(x) = 3x − 2
p(x) = 0
3x − 2 = 0
Therefore, for, the value of the polynomial is 0 and hence,
is a zero of the given polynomial.
(v) p(x) = 3x
p(x) = 0
3x = 0
x = 0
Therefore, for x = 0, the value of the polynomial is 0 and hence, x = 0 is a zero of the given polynomial.
(vi) p(x) = ax
p(x) = 0
ax = 0
x = 0
Therefore, for x = 0, the value of the polynomial is 0 and hence, x = 0 is a zero of the given polynomial.
(vii) p(x) = cx + d
p(x) = 0
cx+ d = 0
Therefore, for, the value of the polynomial is 0 and hence,
is a zero of the given polynomial.

Question 1:
Determine which of the following polynomials has (x + 1) a factor:
(i) x3 + x2 + x + 1 (ii) x4 + x3 + x2 + x + 1
(iii) x4 + 3x3 + 3x2 + x + 1 (iv)
Answer:
(i) If (x + 1) is a factor of p(x) = x3 + x2 + x + 1, then p (−1) must be zero, otherwise (x + 1) is not a factor of p(x).
p(x) = x3 + x2 + x + 1
p(−1) = (−1)3 + (−1)2 + (−1) + 1
= − 1 + 1 − 1 + 1 = 0
Hence, x + 1 is a factor of this polynomial.
(ii) If (x + 1) is a factor of p(x) = x4 + x3 + x2 + x + 1, then p (−1) must be zero, otherwise (x + 1) is not a factor of p(x).
p(x) = x4 + x3 + x2 + x + 1
p(−1) = (−1)4 + (−1)3 + (−1)2 + (−1) + 1
= 1 − 1 + 1 −1 + 1 = 1
As p(− 1) ≠ 0,
Therefore, x + 1 is not a factor of this polynomial.
(iii) If (x + 1) is a factor of polynomial p(x) = x4 + 3x3 + 3x2 + x + 1, then p(−1) must be 0, otherwise (x + 1) is not a factor of this polynomial.
p(−1) = (−1)4 + 3(−1)3 + 3(−1)2 + (−1) + 1
= 1 − 3 + 3 − 1 + 1 = 1
As p(−1) ≠ 0,
Therefore, x + 1 is not a factor of this polynomial.
(iv) If(x + 1) is a factor of polynomial p(x) = , then p(−1) must be 0, otherwise (x + 1) is not a factor of this polynomial.
As p(−1) ≠ 0,
Therefore, (x + 1) is not a factor of this polynomial.

Question 2:
Use the Factor Theorem to determine whether g(x) is a factor of p(x) in each of the following cases:
(i) p(x) = 2x3 + x2 − 2x − 1, g(x) = x + 1
(ii) p(x) = x3 + 3x2 + 3x + 1, g(x) = x + 2
(iii) p(x) = x3 − 4 x2 + x + 6, g(x) = x − 3
Answer:
(i) If g(x) = x + 1 is a factor of the given polynomial p(x), then p(−1) must be zero.
p(x) = 2x3 + x2 − 2x − 1
p(−1) = 2(−1)3 + (−1)2 − 2(−1) − 1
= 2(−1) + 1 + 2 − 1 = 0
Hence, g(x) = x + 1 is a factor of the given polynomial.
(ii) If g(x) = x + 2 is a factor of the given polynomial p(x), then p(−2) must
be 0.
p(x) = x3 +3x2 + 3x + 1
p(−2) = (−2)3 + 3(−2)2 + 3(−2) + 1
= − 8 + 12 − 6 + 1
= −1
As p(−2) ≠ 0,
Hence, g(x) = x + 2 is not a factor of the given polynomial.
(iii) If g(x) = x − 3 is a factor of the given polynomial p(x), then p(3) must
be 0.
p(x) = x3 − 4 x2 + x + 6
p(3) = (3)3 − 4(3)2 + 3 + 6
= 27 − 36 + 9 = 0
Hence, g(x) = x − 3 is a factor of the given polynomial.

Find the value of k, if x − 1 is a factor of p(x) in each of the following cases:
(i) p(x) = x2 + x + k (ii)
(iii) (iv) p(x) = kx2 − 3x + k
Answer:
If x − 1 is a factor of polynomial p(x), then p(1) must be 0.
(i) p(x) = x2 + x + k
p(1) = 0
⇒ (1)2 + 1 + k = 0
⇒ 2 + k = 0
⇒ k = −2
Therefore, the value of k is −2.
(ii)
p(1) = 0
(iii)
p(1) = 0
(iv) p(x) = kx2 − 3x + k
⇒ p(1) = 0
⇒ k(1)2 − 3(1) + k = 0
⇒ k − 3 + k = 0
⇒ 2k − 3 = 0
Therefore, the value of k is.

Answer:
(i) Let p(x) = x3 − 2x2 − x + 2
All the factors of 2 have to be considered. These are ± 1, ± 2.
By trial method,
p(−1) = (−1)3 − 2(−1)2 − (−1) + 2
= −1 − 2 + 1 + 2 = 0
Therefore, (x +1 ) is factor of polynomial p(x).
Let us find the quotient on dividing x3 − 2x2 − x + 2 by x + 1.
By long division,
It is known that,
Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
∴ x3 − 2x2 − x + 2 = (x + 1) (x2 − 3x + 2) + 0
= (x + 1) [x2 − 2x − x + 2]
= (x + 1) [x (x − 2) − 1 (x − 2)]
= (x + 1) (x − 1) (x − 2)
= (x − 2) (x − 1) (x + 1)
(ii) Let p(x) = x3 − 3x2 − 9x − 5
All the factors of 5 have to be considered. These are ±1, ± 5.
By trial method,
p(−1) = (−1)3 − 3(−1)2 − 9(−1) − 5
= − 1 − 3 + 9 − 5 = 0
Therefore, x + 1 is a factor of this polynomial.
Let us find the quotient on dividing x3 + 3x2 − 9x − 5 by x + 1.
By long division,
It is known that,
Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
∴ x3 − 3x2 − 9x − 5 = (x + 1) (x2 − 4x − 5) + 0
= (x + 1) (x2 − 5x + x − 5)
= (x + 1) [(x (x − 5) +1 (x − 5)]
= (x + 1) (x − 5) (x + 1)
= (x − 5) (x + 1) (x + 1)
(iii) Let p(x) = x3 + 13x2 + 32x + 20
All the factors of 20 have to be considered. Some of them are ±1,
± 2, ± 4, ± 5 ……
By trial method,
p(−1) = (−1)3 + 13(−1)2 + 32(−1) + 20
= − 1 +13 − 32 + 20
= 33 − 33 = 0
As p(−1) is zero, therefore, x + 1 is a factor of this polynomial p(x).
Let us find the quotient on dividing x3 + 13x2 + 32x + 20 by (x + 1).
By long division,
It is known that,
Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
x3 + 13x2 + 32x + 20 = (x + 1) (x2 + 12x + 20) + 0
= (x + 1) (x2 + 10x + 2x + 20)
= (x + 1) [x (x + 10) + 2 (x + 10)]
= (x + 1) (x + 10) (x + 2)
= (x + 1) (x + 2) (x + 10)
(iv) Let p(y) = 2y3 + y2 − 2y − 1
By trial method,
p(1) = 2 ( 1)3 + (1)2 − 2( 1) − 1
= 2 + 1 − 2 − 1= 0
Therefore, y − 1 is a factor of this polynomial.
Let us find the quotient on dividing 2y3 + y2 − 2y − 1 by y − 1.
p(y) = 2y3 + y2 − 2y − 1
= (y − 1) (2y2 +3y + 1)
= (y − 1) (2y2 +2y + y +1)
= (y − 1) [2y (y + 1) + 1 (y + 1)]
= (y − 1) (y + 1) (2y + 1)

Answer:
It is known that,
(i) (99)3 = (100 − 1)3
= (100)3 − (1)3 − 3(100) (1) (100 − 1)
= 1000000 − 1 − 300(99)
= 1000000 − 1 − 29700
= 970299
(ii) (102)3 = (100 + 2)3
= (100)3 + (2)3 + 3(100) (2) (100 + 2)
= 1000000 + 8 + 600 (102)
= 1000000 + 8 + 61200
= 1061208
(iii) (998)3= (1000 − 2)3
= (1000)3 − (2)3 − 3(1000) (2) (1000 − 2)
= 1000000000 − 8 − 6000(998)
= 1000000000 − 8 − 5988000
= 1000000000 − 5988008
= 994011992

Question 14:
Without actually calculating the cubes, find the value of each of the following:
(i)
(ii)
Answer:
(i)
Let x = −12, y = 7, and z = 5
It can be observed that,
x + y + z = − 12 + 7 + 5 = 0
It is known that if x + y + z = 0, then
∴
= −1260
(ii)
Let x = 28, y = −15, and z = −13
It can be observed that,
x + y + z = 28 + (−15) + (−13) = 28 − 28 = 0
It is known that if x + y + z = 0, then

Question 15:
Give possible expressions for the length and breadth of each of thefollowing rectangles, in which their areas are given:
Answer:
Area = Length × Breadth
The expression given for the area of the rectangle has to be factorised. One of its factors will be its length and the other will be its breadth.
(i)
Therefore, possible length = 5a − 3
And, possible breadth = 5a − 4
(ii)
Therefore, possible length = 5y + 4
And, possible breadth = 7y − 3

Question 16:
What are the possible expressions for the dimensions of the cuboids whose volumes are given below?
Answer:
Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height
The expression given for the volume of the cuboid has to be factorised. One of its factors will be its length, one will be its breadth, and one will be its height.
(i)
One of the possible solutions is as follows.
Length = 3, Breadth = x, Height = x − 4
(ii)
One of the possible solutions is as follows.
Length = 4k, Breadth = 3y + 5, Height = y − 1
