Question 22 Marks
Verify whether the indicated numbers are zeros of the polynomials corresponding to them in the following case:
$\text{f(x)}=\text{l(x)}+\text{m},\text{x}=-\frac{\text{m}}{\text{l}}$
Answer
$\text{f(x)}=\text{l(x)}+\text{m},\text{x}=-\frac{\text{m}}{\text{l}}$
We know that,
$\text{f(x)}=\text{l(x)}+\text{m}$
Given, that $\text{x}=-\frac{\text{m}}{\text{l}}$
Substitute the value of x in f(x)
$\text{f}\Big(-\frac{\text{m}}{\text{l}}\Big)=\text{I}\Big(-\frac{\text{m}}{\text{l}}\Big)+\text{m}$
$=-\text{m}+\text{m}$
$=0$
Since, the result is 0, $\text{x}=-\frac{\text{m}}{\text{l}}$ is the root of lx + m

Question 32 Marks
Verify whether the indicated numbers are zeros of the polynomials corresponding to them in the following case:
$\text{f(x)}=3\text{x}+1,\text{x}=-\frac{1}{3}$
Answer
$\text{f(x)}=3\text{x}+1,\text{x}=-\frac{1}{3}$
We know that,
$\text{f(x)}=3\text{x}+1$
Substitite $\text{x}=-\frac{1}{3}$ in f(x)
$\text{f}\Big(-\frac{1}{3}\Big)=3\Big(-\frac{1}{3}\Big)+1$
$= -1 + 1$
$=0$
Since, the result is 0 $\text{x}=-\frac{1}{3}$ is the root of 3x + 1

Question 42 Marks
Verify whether the indicated numbers are zeros of the polynomials corresponding to them in the following case:
f(x) = x2, x = 0
Answer
f(x) = x2, x = 0
we know that , f(x) = x2
Given that value of x is '0'
Substitute the value of x in f(x)
f(0) = 02
= 0
Since, the result is zero, x = 0 is the root of x2

Question 52 Marks
In the following, use factor theorem to find whether polynomial g(x) is a factor of polynomial f(x) or, not:
f(x) = x3 - 6x2 - 19x + 84, g(x) = x - 7
Answer
Let g(x) = 0
⇒ x - 7 = 0
⇒ x = 7
f(7) = 73 - 6(7)2 - 19(7) + 84
= 343 - 6(49) - 19(7) + 84
= 343 - 294 - 133 + 84
= 427 - 427 = 0
$\because$ f(7) = 0, by factor theorem x - 7 is a factor of f(x).

Question 62 Marks
In the following, use factor theorem to find whether polynomial g(x) is a factor of polynomial f(x) or, not:
f(x) = x3 - 6x2 + 11x - 6; g(x) = x - 3
Answer
Let g(x) = 0
⇒ x - 3 = 0
⇒ x = 3
f(3) = 33 - 6(3)2 + 11(3) - 6
= 27 - 6(9) + 33 - 6
= 60 - 60 = 0
$\because$ f(3) = 0, by factor theorem x - 3 is a factor of f(x).

Question 72 Marks
In the following, use factor theorem to find whether polynomial g(x) is a factor of polynomial f(x) or, not:
f(x) = 3x4 + 17x3 + 9x2 - 7x - 10; g(x) = x + 5
Answer
Let g(x) = 0
⇒ x + 5 = 0
⇒ x = -5
Now,
f(-5) = 3(-5)4 + 17(-5)3 + 9(-5)2 - 7(-5) - 10
= 3(625) + 17(-125) + 9(25) + 35 - 10
= 1875 - 2125 + 225 + 35 - 10
$\because$ f(-5) = 0, by factor theorem x + 5 is a factor of f(x).

f(x) = x5 + 3x4 - x3 - 3x2 + 5x + 15, g(x) = x + 3
Answer
Let g(x) = 0
⇒ x + 3 = 0
⇒ x = -3
f(-3) = (-3)5 - 3(-3)4 -(-3)3 - 3(-3)2 + 5(-3) + 15
= -243 + 243 + 27 - 27 - 15 + 15 = 0
$\because$ f(-3) = 0, by factor theorem x + 3 is a factor of f(x).

Question 92 Marks
In the following two polynomials, find the value of a, if x - a is factor:
x6 - ax5 + x4 - ax3 + 3x - a + 2
Answer
x6 - ax5 + x4 - ax3 + 3x - a + 2
Let,
x - a = 0
⇒ x = a
$\because$ x - a is a factor of the polynomial f(x)
$\therefore$ f(a) = 0
f(a) = 0
⇒ a6 - a × a5 + a4 - a × a3 + 3a - a + 2 = 0
⇒ a6 - a6 + a4 - a4 + 3a - a + 2 = 0
⇒ 2a + 2 = 0
⇒ 2a = -2
⇒ a = -1

Question 102 Marks
In the following two polynomials, find the value of a, if x + a is a factor.
x4 - a2x2 + 3x - a
Answer
x4 - a2x2 + 3x - a
Let,
x + a = 0
⇒ x = -a
$\because$ (x + a) is a factor of f(x) = x4 - a2x2 + 3x - a
$\therefore$ f(-a) = 0
f(-a) ⇒ (-a)4 - a2(-a)2 + 3(-a) - a = 0 
⇒ a4 + a4 - 3a - a = 0
⇒ -4a = 0
⇒ a = 0

Question 112 Marks
In the following two polynomials, find the value of a, if x + a is a factor.
x3 + ax2 - 2x + a + 4
Answer
x3 + ax2 - 2x + a + 4
Let,
x + a = 0
⇒ x = -a
$\because$ (x + a) is a factor of f(x) = x3 + ax2 - 2x + a + 4
$\therefore$ p(-a) = 0
p(-a) ⇒ (-a)3 + (-a)2 - 2(-a) + a + 4 = 0 
⇒ -a3 + a3 + 2a + a + 4 = 0
⇒ 3a + 4 = 0
⇒ 3a = -4
$\Rightarrow\ \text{a}=\frac{-4}{3}$

Question 122 Marks
In the following two polynomials, find the value of a, if x - a is factor:
x5 - a2x3 + 2x + a + 1
Answer
x5 - a2x3 + 2x + a + 1
Let,
x - a = 0
⇒ x = a
$\because$ (x - a) is a factor of f(x) = x5 - a2x3 + 2x + a + 1
$\therefore$ f(a) = 0
f(a) ⇒ a5 - a2 × a3 + 2a + a + 1 = 0
⇒ a5 - a5 + 3a + 1
⇒ 3a = -1
$\Rightarrow\ \text{a}=-\frac{1}{3}$

Question 132 Marks
If x + 1 is a factor of x3 + a, then write the value of a.
Answer
As (x + 1) is a factor of polynomial f(x) = x3 + a.
i. e. f(-1) = 0
(-1)3 + a = 0
⇒ a = 1
Thus, the value of a = 1.

Question 142 Marks
If $\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}$ is a zero of the polynomial f(x) = 8x3 + ax2 - 4x + 2, find the value of a.
Answer
Since $\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}$ is a zero of polynomial f(x).
Therefore $\text{f}\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)=0$
$\Rightarrow\ 8\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^3+\text{a}\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^2-4\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)+2=0$
$\Rightarrow\ 1+\frac{\text{a}}{4}-2+2=0$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{a}=-4$
The value of a is -4.

Question 152 Marks
If f(x) = x4 - 2x3 + 3x2 - ax - b when divided by x - 1, the remainder is 6, then find the value of a + b.
Answer
When polynomial f(x) = x4 - 2x3 + 3x2 - ax - b divided by (x - 1)
The remainder is 6.
i. e. f(1) = 6
(1)4 - 2(1)3 + 3(1)2 - a(1) - b = 6
1 - 2 + 3 - a - b = 6
2 - (a + b) = 6
(a + b) = -4
Thus, the value of a + b = -4.

Question 162 Marks
If f(x) = 2x3 - 13x2 + 17x + 12, Find:
f(-3)
Answer
The given polynomial is f(x) = 2x3 - 13x2 + 17x + 12
f(-3)
we need to substitute the '(-3)' in f(x)
f(-3) = 2(-3)3 - 13(-3)2 + 17(-3) + 12
= (2 × (- 27)) - (13 × 9) - ( 17 × 3) + 12
= -54 - 117 - 51 + 12
= -210
therefore f(-3) = -210

f(2)
we need to substitute the '2' in f(x)
f(2) = 2(2)3 - 13(2)2 + 17(2) + 12
= (2 × 8) - (13 × 4) + (17 × 2) + 12
= 16 - 52 + 34 + 12
= 10

f(0)
Answer
The given polynomial is f(x) = 2x3 - 13x2 + 17x + 12
f(0)
we need to substitute the '(0)' in f(x)
f(0) = 2(0)3 - 13(0)2 + 17(0) + 12
= (2 × 0) - ( 13 × 0) + (17 × 0) + 12
= 0 - 0 + 0 + 12
= 12
therefore f(0) = 12

$\text{x}-\frac{1}{2}$
Answer
Here, f(x) = x3 + 3x2 + 3x + 1
By remainder theorem
$\text{x}-\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\text{f}\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)=\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^3+3\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^2+3\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)+1$
$=\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^3+3\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^2+3\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)+1$
$=\frac{1}{8}+\frac{3}{4}+\frac{3}{2}+1$
$=\frac{1+6+12+8}{8}$
$=\frac{27}{8}$
