Exercise 2.3

Question 1:

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






Answer:












Quotient = x - 3
Remainder = 7x - 9

















Quotient = x2 + x - 3
Remainder = 8

Ncert Solutions Cbse Class 10 Mathematics Chapter - Polynomials

Quotient = -x2 - 2
Remainder = -5x + 10  

Concept insight: While dividing one polynomial by another, first arrange the polynomial  in descending powers of the variable. In the process of division, be careful about the signs of the coefficients of the terms of the polynomials. After performing division, one can check his/her answer obtained by the division algorithm which is as below:

Dividend = Divisor x Quotient + Remainder
Also, remember that the quotient obtained is a polynomial only.

Question 2:

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






Answer:
i) The polynomial 2t4 + 3t3 - 2t2 - 9t - 12  can be divided by the polynomial t2 - 3 = t2 + 0.t - 3 as follows:
(















Since the remainder is 0, t² - 3 is a factor of 2t4 + 3t3 - 2t2 - 9t - 12 .


(ii) The polynomial 3x4 + 5x3 - 7x2 + 2x + 2 can be divided by the polynomial x2 + 3x + 1 as follows:
Ncert Solutions Cbse Class 10 Mathematics Chapter - Polynomials

Since the remainder is 0, x² + 3x + 1 is a factor of 3x4 + 5x3 - 7x2 + 2x + 2

(iii) The polynomial x5 - 4x3 + x2 + 3x + 1 can be divided by the  polynomial x3 - 3x + 1 as follows:

Ncert Solutions Cbse Class 10 Mathematics Chapter - Polynomials

Since the remainder is not equal to 0, x3 - 3x + 1 is not a factor of x5 - 4x3 + x2 + 3x + 1.



Question 3:



Answer:
Let p(x) = 3x4 + 6x3 - 2x2 - 10x -5

Ncert Solutions Cbse Class 10 Mathematics Chapter - Polynomials

Now, x² + 2x + 1 = (x + 1)2
So, the two zeroes of  x² + 2x + 1 are -1 and -1.

Question 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:
Divided, p(x) = x3 - 3x2 + x + 2
Quotient = (x - 2)
Remainder = (-2x + 4)
Let g(x) be the divisor.

According to the division algorithm,

Dividend = Divisor x Quotient + Remainder



Ncert Solutions Cbse Class 10 Mathematics Chapter - Polynomials

Concept insight: When a polynomial is divided by any other non-zero polynomial, then it satisfies the division algorithm which is as below:
Dividend = Divisor x Quotient + Remainder


Divisor x Quotient = Dividend - Remainder

So, from this relation, the divisor can be obtained by dividing the result of (Dividend - Remainder) by the quotient.


Question 5:
Give examples of polynomial 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:
According to the division algorithm, if p(x) and g(x) are two polynomials with g(x) Ncert Solutions Cbse Class 10 Mathematics Chapter - Polynomials 0, then we can find polynomials q(x) and r(x) such that
p(x) = g(x) x q(x) + r(x), where r(x) = 0 or degree of r(x) < degree of g(x).

(i)    Degree of quotient will be equal to degree of dividend when divisor is constant.
Let us consider the division of 18x2 + 3x + 9  by 3.
Here, p(x) = 18x2 + 3x + 9  and g(x) = 3
q(x) = 6x2 + x + 3  and r(x) = 0
Here, degree of p(x) and q(x) is the same which is 2.


Checking:
p(x) = g(x) x q(x) + r(x)

Ncert Solutions Cbse Class 10 Mathematics Chapter - Polynomials

Thus, the division algorithm is satisfied.

(ii)    Let us consider the division of 2x4 + 2x by 2x3,
Here, p(x) = 2x4 + 2x and g(x) = 2x3
q(x) = x and r(x) = 2x
Clearly, the degree of q(x) and r(x) is the same which is 1.

Checking,
p(x) = g(x) x q(x) + r(x)
2x4 + 2x =  (2x3 ) x x  + 2x
2x4 + 2x = 2x4 + 2x
Thus, the division algorithm is satisfied.

(iii)    Degree of remainder will be 0 when remainder obtained on division is a constant.
Let us consider the division of 10x3 + 3 by 5x2.
Here, p(x) = 10x3 + 3 and g(x) = 5x2
q(x) = 2x and r(x) = 3
Clearly, the degree of r(x) is 0.

Checking:
p(x) = g(x) x q(x) + r(x)
10x3 + 3 = (5x2 ) x 2x  +  3
10x3 + 3 = 10x3 + 3
Thus, the division algorithm is satisfied.

Question 2:

 Find a cubic polynomial with the sum, sum of the product of its zeroes taken two at a time, and the product of its zeroes as 2, − 7, − 14 respectively.
Answer:

Let the polynomial be ax3  + bx2 + cx + d and its zeroes be Ncert Solutions Cbse Class 10 Mathematics Chapter - Polynomials  .
According to the given information:

Ncert Solutions Cbse Class 10 Mathematics Chapter - Polynomials

If a = k, then b = -2k, c = -7k, d = 14k

Thus, the required cubic polynomial is k(x3 - 2x2 - 7x + 14), where k is any real number.
The simplest polynomial will be obtained by taking k = 1.

Question 3:
If the zeroes of the polynomial x³ – 3x² + x + 1  are a – b, a, a + b, find a and b.
Answer:
Let p(x) = x3 - 3x2 + x + 1
The zeroes of the polynomial p(x) are given as a - b, a, a + b.
Comparing the given polynomial with dx3 + ex2 + fx + g, we can observe that
d = 1, e = -3, f = 1, g = 1

Ncert Solutions Cbse Class 10 Mathematics Chapter - Polynomials

Therefore, the zeroes of p(x) are 1-b, 1, 1+b .

Therefore, x2 - 4x + 1 is a factor of the given polynomial.

Hence, 7 and -5 are also zeroes of the given polynomial.

Question 5:


Answer: 
By division algorithm,

Divisor x Quotient = Dividend - Remainder



Ncert Solutions Cbse Class 10 Mathematics Chapter - Polynomials

It will be perfectly divisible by x2 - 2x + k.

Ncert Solutions Cbse Class 10 Mathematics Chapter - Polynomials


10 - a - 8 x 5 + 25 = 0
10 - a - 40 + 25 = 0
- 5 - a = 0
a = -5

Thus, k = 5 and a = -5.
