| 1) The root of the polynomial equation 3x-1 = 0 is Answer: 2 SOLUTION 1 : Hint: [3x -1 = 0 ⇒ 3x = 1 ⇒ x = ] Ans = x = |
| 2) The zero of the polynomial 2x-5 is Answer: 3 SOLUTION 1 : Hint: [ p(x) = 2x -5=2 ( = /2)=0. Hence x= zero of p(x) Ans = |
| 3) If a polynomial p(x) is divided by (ax+b), then the remainder is
Answer: 1 SOLUTION 1 : Ans = |
4) One of the factors of x3 -2x2 +2x -1 isAnswer: 1 SOLUTION 1 : Hint:[ (x3 -2x2 + 2x -1 = x3 -x2 -x2 + x + x -1 = x2(x-1) – x(x-1) + 1(x-1) = (x-1) (x2 -x + 1) ] Ans = x - 1 |
| 5) The degree of the polynomial 4x2 -7x3 + 6x + 1 is
Answer: 3 SOLUTION 1 : Hint: [The term having the highest degree is -7x3, The degree is 3] Ans =3 |
| 6) .The coefficients of x2 and x in 2x3 -3x2 - 2x + 3 are respectively
Answer: 4 SOLUTION 1 : Hint:[The co-efficient of x2 is- 3 and The co-efficient of x is -2] Ans = -3,-2 |
| 7) If ( ax- b) is a factor of p(x), then Answer: 3 SOLUTION 1 : Hint: [ ax-b is a factor of p(x) ⇒ The zero of ax-b is ⇒ p =0] Ans = p =0
|
| 8) If the polynomial x3 –ax2+2x-a is divided (x-a), then remainder is (1)⇒ a (2)⇒(a2) (3) ⇒(a3) (4) ⇒(-a) Answer: 4 SOLUTION 1 : Hint:[ [ p(x) = x3 – ax2 + 2x- a ⇒ The zero of x - a is a p(a) = a3-a(a)2+2(a)-a ⇒ Ans = a |
| 9) The polynomial 4x2+2x-2 is a Answer: 4 SOLUTION 1 : Hint: [ The degree of 4x2+2x-2 is 2, It is a quadratic polynomial] Ans = quadratic polynomial |
| 10) One of the factors of x2 - 3x -10 is Answer: 3 SOLUTION 1 : Hint : [ x2- 3x -10 = x2 -5x + 2x -10 ⇒ x(x-5) + 2(x-5) The factor of x2 -3x -10 are (x-5) and (x+2) ] Ans = x - 5 |
