Question 42 Marks
Find the factors of the polynomials given below : $\frac{1}{2} x^2-3 x+4$
Answer
$ \frac{1}{2} x^2-3 x+4$
$=\frac{1}{2} x^2-2 x-x+4$
$=\frac{1}{2} x^2-\frac{2 \times 2}{2} x-x+4$
$=\frac{1}{2} x(x-4)-1(x-4)$
$=(x-4)\left(\frac{1}{2} x-1\right)$

Alternate method
$\frac{1}{2} x^2-3 x+4=\frac{1}{2}\left(x^2-6 x+8\right)$
$=\frac{1}{2}\left(x^2-4 x-2 x+8\right)$
$=\frac{1}{2}[x(x-4)-2(x-4)]$
$=\frac{1}{2}(x-2)(x-4)$

Question 172 Marks
Verify that $(x-1)$ is a factor of the polynomial $x^3+4 x-5$.
Answer
Here, $p ( x )= x ^3+4 x -5$
Substituting $x=1$ in $p(x)$, we get
$p(1)=(1)^3+4(1)-5$
$=1+4-5$
$P(1)=0$
$\therefore$ By remainder theorem,
Remainder $=0$
$\therefore(x-1)$ is the factor of $x ^3+4 x -5$.

Question 182 Marks
If $\left(x^{31}+31\right)$ is divided by $(x+1)$, then find the remainder.
Answer
$p(x)=x^{31}+31$
$\text { Divisor }=x+1$
$\therefore \text { take } x=-1$
$\therefore \text { By remainder theorem, }$
$\text { Remainder }=p(-1)$
$p(x)=x^{31}+31 \ldots$

Question 192 Marks
Divide the first polynomial by the second polynomial and find the remainder using remainder theorem :
$\left(54 m^3+18 m^2-27 m+5\right) ;(m-3)$
Answer
$p(m)=54 m^3+18 m^2-27 m+5$
Divisor $=m-3$
$\therefore$ take $m =3$
$\therefore$ By remainder theorem,
Remainder $=p(3)$
$p(m)=54 m^3+18 m^2-27 m+5$
$\therefore p(3)=54(3)^3+18(3)^2-27(3)+5$
$=54(27)+18(9)-81+5$

Question 202 Marks
Divide the first polynomial by the second polynomial and find the remainder using remainder theorem :
$\left(2 x^3-2 x^2+a x-a\right) ;(x-a)$
Answer
$p(x)=2 x^3-2 x^2+a x-a$
Divisor $=x-a$
$\therefore$ take $x = a$
By remainder theorem,
Remainder $=p(a)$
$p(x)=2 x^3-2 x^2+a x-a$
$\therefore p ( a )=2 a ^3-2 a ^2+ a ( a )- a$
$=2 a^3-2 a^2+a^2-a$
$\therefore$ Remainder $=2 a^3-a^2-a$

Question 212 Marks
Divide the first polynomial by the second polynomial and find the remainder using remainder theorem :
$(x^2 – 1x + 9); (x + 1)$
Answer
p(x) = $x^2 – 7x + 9$
Divisor =$x + 1$
\therefore take $x = – 1$
\therefore By remainder theorem,
\therefore Remainder =$p(-1)$
p(x) = $x^2 – 7x + 9$
$\therefore p(-1) = (- 1)^2 – 7(- 1) + 9$
$= 1 + 7 + 9$
$\therefore Remainder =17$

Question 222 Marks
For the polynomial $mx^2 – 2x + 3$ if $p(-1) = 7$, then find m.
Answer
$p(x) = mx^2 – 2x + 3$
$\therefore p(- 1) = m (- 1)^2 – 2(- 1) + 3$
$\therefore 7 = m(1) + 2 + 3 …[\because p(-1) = 7]$

For each of the following polynomial, find $p(1), p(0)$ and $p(-2): p(y)=x^4-2 x^2+x$
Answer
$p(x)=x^4-2 x^2-x$
$\therefore p(1)=(1)^4-2(1)^2-1$

$\therefore p(1)=-2$
$\therefore p(x)=x^4-2 x^2-x$
$\therefore p(0)=(0)^4-2(0)^2-0$
$=0-0-0$
$\therefore p(0)=0$
$p(x)=x^4-2 x^2-x$
$\therefore p(-2)=(-2)^4-2(-2)^2-(-2)$
$=16-2(4)+2$
