Solve the followings Questions.

1. Divide the polynomial p(x) by the polynomial g(x) and find the quotient and remainder in each of the following.

(i) p(x) = x3 – 3x2 + 5x – 3 , g(x) = x2 – 2

(ii) p(x) = x4 – 3x2 + 4x + 5, g(x) = x2 – x + 1

(iii) p(x) = x– 5x + 6, g(x) = 2 -x2

Answer:

(i)p(x) = x3 – 3x2 + 5x – 3 , g(x) = x2 – 2

Class 10 Maths chapter 2-Polynomials Exercise 2.3/image007.png

Therefore, quotient = x – 3 and Remainder = 7x – 9

(ii)

Class 10 Maths chapter 2-Polynomials Exercise 2.3/image008.png

Therefore, quotient = x² + x – 3 and Remainder = 8

(iii)

Class 10 Maths chapter 2-Polynomials Exercise 2.3/image010.png

Therefore, quotient = -x2 – 2 and, Remainder = −5x + 10

2. Check whether the first polynomial is a factor of the second polynomial by dividing the second polynomial by the first polynomial.

(i) t2 – 3, 2t4 + 3t2 – 9t -12

(ii) x2 + 3x +1, 3x4 + 5x3 – 7x2 + 2x + 2

(iii) x3 – 3x + 1, x5 – 4x3 + x2 + 3x +1

Answer:

(i) t2 – 3, 2t4 + 3t2 – 9t -12

Class 10 Maths chapter 2-Polynomials Exercise 2.3/image015.png

Remainder = 0

Hence first polynomial is a factor of second polynomial.

(ii) x2 + 3x +1, 3x4 + 5x3 – 7x2 + 2x + 2

Class 10 Maths chapter 2-Polynomials Exercise 2.3/image017.png

Remainder = 0

Hence first polynomial is a factor of second polynomial.

(iii)

Class 10 Maths chapter 2-Polynomials Exercise 2.3/image018.png

Remainder ≠0

Hence first polynomial is not factor of second polynomial.

3. Obtain all other zeroes of ( 3×4 + 6×3 – 2×2 – 10x – 5 ) , if two of its zeroes are √5/3 and -√5/3.

Answer:

Two zeroes of ( 3x4 + 6x– 2x2 – 10x – 5 ) are √5/3 and -√5/3 which means thatClass 10 Maths chapter 2-Polynomials Exercise 2.3/image023.pngis a factor of ( 3x4 + 6x– 2x2 – 10x – 5 ).

Therefore, we divide the given polynomial by x² – 5/3.

Class 10 Maths chapter 2-Polynomials Exercise 2.3/image024.png

we factorize x² + 2x + 1 = (x + 1)²

Therefore, its zero is given by x + 1 = 0

⇒ x = – 1

As it has the term (x + 1)²,therefore, there will be 2 zeros at x = – 1.

Hence,the zeroes of the given polynomial √5/3 and -√5/3  are −1 and −1.

4. On dividing ( x3 – 3x2 + x + 2 ) by a polynomial g(x), the quotient and remainder were (x-2) and (-2x+4) respectively. Find g(x).

Answer:

Let p(x) = x3 – 3x2 + x + 2, q(x) = (x – 2) and r(x) = (–2x+4)

According to Polynomial Division Algorithm, we have

p(x) = g(x).q(x) + r(x)

⇒ x3 – 3x2 + x + 2 =g(x).(x−2)−2x+4

⇒x3 – 3x2 + x + 2 + 2x −4 =g(x).(x−2)

⇒x3 – 3x2 + 3x + 2=g(x).(x−2)

So, Dividing x3 – 3x2 + 3x + 2 by (x−2), we get

(x2 – x + 1)

Therefore, we haveg(x) = (x2 – x + 1)

5. Give examples of polynomials p(x), g(x), q(x) and r(x), which satisfy the division algorithm and

(i) deg p(x) = deg q(x)

(ii) deg q(x) = deg r(x)

(iii) deg r(x) = 0

Answer:

Here let us represent, p(x) =dividend=the number to be divided

g(x)=Divisor=the number by which dividend is divided

q(x)=quotient

And r(x)=remainder

Now we have to give examples of polynomials such that the division algorithm

Dividend=Divisor × Quotient +Remainder

Is satisfies and the given conditions are also satisfied

(i)Let us assume the division of 2x + 4 by 2,

Then p(x) = 2x + 4

g(x) = 2

q(x) = x + 2

and r(x) = 0

On using the division algorithm

Dividend=Divisor × Quotient +Remainder

 p(x)=g(x) × q(x) +r(x)

On putting the given values we get,

=> 2x + 4 = 2 x (x +2) + 0

On solving we get,

=> 2x + 4 = 2x + 4

Hence the division algorithm is satisfied.

And here the degree of p(x) =1 = degree of q(x)

Hence (i) condition is also satisfied.

(ii) Let us assume the division of x3 + x byx2

Then here,p(x) = x3+ x

g(x) = x2

q(x) = x

r(x) = x

It is clear that the degree of q(x) = 1 and

degree of r(x) = 1

on using the devision algorithm

=> Dividend=Divisor × Quotient +Remainder

=> p(x)=g(x) × q(x) +r(x)

On putting the given values we get,

=> x3 + x = (x2 * x) + x

on solving we get,

x3 + x = x 3 + x

Hence the division algorithm is satisfied.

and here the degree of r(x) = 1 = degree of q(x)

Hence (ii) condition is also satisfied.

(iii)Let us assume the division of x2 + 1 byx

Then here,p(x) = x2 + 1

g(x) = x

r(x) = 1

It is clear that the degree of r(x) = 0 and

on using the devision algorithm

=> Dividend=Divisor × Quotient +Remainder

=> p(x)=g(x) × q(x) +r(x)

On putting the given values we get,

=> x2 + 1 = (x * x)+ 1

x2 + 1 = x2 + 1

Hence,the division algorithm is satisfied.

And here the degree of r(x) = 0

Hence (iii) condition is also satisfied.

 Here you can also assume any other polynomial for division but it is necessary that the chosen dividend and divisor be such that the conditions of the questions are satisfied.
