Exercise 2.1
1. The graphs of y = p(x) are given in figures below, for some polynomials p(x). Find the number of zeroes of p(x), in each case.
Exercise 2.2
1. Find the zeroes of the following quadratic polynoials and verify the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients.
(i) x2 – 2x – 8
(ii) 4s2 – 4s + 1
(iii) 6x2 – 3 – 7x
(vi) 4u2 + 8u
(v) t2 – 15
(vi) 3x2 – x – 4
Sol. (i) Let be
F(x) = x2 – 2x – 8
F(x) = x2 – 4x + 2x – 8
F(x) = x(x – 4) + 2(x – 4)
F(x) = (x – 4)(x + 2)
So, the value of x2 – 2x – 8 is zero.
F(x) = 0
(x – 4)(x + 2) = 0
When
x – 4 = 0, x = 4
x + 2 = 0, x = – 2
Therefore, the zeroes of x2 – 2x – 8 are 4
and – 2
Now,
Sum of zeroes = 4 + (– 2)
= 2
$$\text{Sum of zeroes}=\frac{−(coefficient of x)}{−(coefficient of x^2)}\\=\frac{-(-2)}{1}\\=2\\\text{Product of zeroes} = 4 × – 2 = – 8\\\text{Product of zeroes}=\frac{\text{constant term}}{\text{termcoefficient of}\space x^2}\\=\frac{-8}{1}\\=-8$$
(ii) Let be F(s) = 4s2 – 4s + 1
F(s) = 4s2 – 2s – 2s + 1
= 2s(2s – 1) – 1(2s – 1)
= (2s – 1)(2s – 1) The value of F(s) = 0
(2s – 1)(2s – 1) = 0
$$(2s – 1) = 0, s =\frac{1}{2}\\(2s – 1) = 0, s =\frac{1}{2}\\\text{Therefore, the zeroes of}\space4s^2– 4s + 1\space are\space and\space\frac{1}{2}\\\text{Sum of zeroes} =\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=1\\\text{Sum of zeroes}=\frac{−(coefficient of S)}{(coefficient of S^2)}\\=\frac{-(-4)}{4}=1\\\text{Product of zeroes}=\frac{1}{2}×\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{4}\\\text{Product of zeroes}=\frac{\text{constant term}}{\text{coefficient of} \space S^2}\\=\frac{1}{4}\\\text{Relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients is true.}$$
(iii) Let be
F(x) = 6x2 – 3 – 7x
⇒ F(x) = 6x2 – 7x – 3
⇒ F(x) = 6x2 – 9x + 2x – 3
⇒ F(x) = 3x(2x – 3) + 1(2x – 3)
⇒ F(x) = (2x – 3)(3x + 1)
Value of F(x) = 0
⇒ (2x – 3)(3x + 1) = 0
⇒ 2x – 3 = 0, 3x + 1 = 0
⇒ 2x = 3, 3x = – 1
$$x=\frac{3}{2},\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space x=\frac{-1}{3},\\\text{Therefore, the zeroes of}\space 6x^2 – 3 – 7x\space\text{are}\frac{3}{2}\space\text{and}\space\frac{-1}{3}\\\text{Sum of zeroes}=\frac{3}{2}+(\frac{-1}{3})\\=\frac{9-2}{6}=\frac{7}{6}\\\text{Sum of zeroes}=\frac{\text{−(coefficient of x)}}{\text{(coefficient of}\space x^2)}\\=\frac{-(-7)}{6}\\=\frac{7}{6}\\\text{Product of zeroes}=\frac{3}{2}×\frac{-1}{3}\\=-\frac{1}{2}\\\text{Relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients is true.}$$
(iv) Let be
F(u) = 4u2 + 8u
⇒ F(u) = 4u (u + 2)
The value of F(u) = 0
⇒ 4u(u + 2) = 0
⇒ 4u (u + 2) = 0
⇒ 4u = 0, u + 2 = 0
⇒ u = 0, u = – 2
Therefore, the zeroes of 4u2 + 8u are 0 and – 2.
Now
sum of zeores = 0 + (– 2) = – 2
$$\text{Sum of zeroes}=\frac{\text{−(coefficient of u)}}{\text{(coefficient of}\space u^2)}\\=\frac{8}{4}=-2\\\text{Sum of zeroes}= 0 × – 2 = 0\\\text{Sum of zeroes}=\frac{\text{constant term}}{\text{term coefficient of}\space u^2}\\=\frac{0}{4}=0\\\text{Relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients is true.}$$
(v) Let be
F(t) = t2 – 15
The value of F(t) = 0
t2 – 15 = 0
(t2-√ 152)=0
(t-√ 15)(t+√ 15)=0
Then,
t−√ 15 = 0
t+√ 15 = 0
t = √15
t = -√15
Therefore, the zeroes of t2 – 15 are √15 and −√15.
Sum of zeroes = √15−√15= 0
$$\text{Sum of zeroes}=\frac{\text{−(coefficient of t)}}{\text{(coefficient of}\space t^2)}\\=\frac{-0}{1}=0\\\text{Product of zeroes}= \sqrt[]{15}×-\sqrt[]{15}=-15\\\text{Product of zeroes}=\frac{\text{constant term}}{\text{coefficient of}\space t^2}\\=\frac{-15}{1}=-15\\\text{Relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients is true.}$$
(vi) Let be
F(x) = 3x2 – x – 4
F(x) = 3x2 – 4x + 3x – 4
F(x) = x(3x – 4) + 1(3x – 4)
F(x) = (3x – 4)(x + 1)
So, the value of F(x) is zero.
F(x) = 0
(3x – 4)(x + 1) = 0
3x – 4 = 0, x + 1 = 0
3x = 4, x = – 1
x=4/3
$$\text{Therefore, the zeroes of the}\space 3x^2 – x – 4\text{are}\frac{4}{3}\text{and}-1\\\text{Sum of zeroes}=\frac{4}{3}+(-1)\\\frac{4-3}{3}\\=\frac{1}{3}\\\text{Sum of zeroes}=\frac{\text{−(coefficient of x)}}{\text{(coefficient of}\space x^2)}\\=\frac{-(-1)}{3}=\frac{1}{3}\\\text{Product of zeroes}=\frac{4}{3}×-1\\=\frac{-4}{3}\\\text{Product of zeroes}=\frac{\text{(coefficient of x)}}{\text{(coefficient of}\space x^2)}\\\text{Product of zeroes}=\frac{-4}{3}\\\text{Relationship between zeroes and coefficients are true.}$$

$$(i)\frac{1}{4},-1\\(ii)\sqrt{2},\frac{1}{3}\\(iii)0,\sqrt{5}\\(iv)1,1\\(v)\frac{-1}{4},\frac{1}{4}\\(vi)4,1$$
Sol. (i) Given that,
Sum of zoeres = 1/4
Product of zeroes = – 1
Quadratic polynomial is
x2 – (sum of zeroes)x + product of zeroes = 0
$$x^2-\frac{1}{4}×x+(-1)=0\\\frac{4x^2-x-4}{4}=0\\4x^2-x-4=0\\\text{Hence, the Quadratic polynomial is}\\F(x) =4x^2-x-4.$$
$$(ii)\text{Given that,}\\\text{Sum of zeroes}=\sqrt{2}\space\text{and}\\\text{Product of zeroes}=\frac{1}{3}\\\text{Quadratic polynomial is :}\\x^2 –\text{(sum of zeroes)x + product of zeroes = 0}\\x^2-\sqrt{2x}+\frac{1}{3}=0\\{3x^2-3\sqrt{2x}+1=0}\\\text{Hence, the polynomial is :}\\F(x) ={3x^2-3\sqrt{2x}+1=0}$$
(iii) Given that,
Sum of zeroes = 0
Product of zeroes = √ 5
Quadraitc polynomial
x2 – (sum of zeroes)x + product of zeroes = 0
x2-0 × X+√ 5 0
x2+√ 5=0
Hence, the polynomial is
F(x) =x2+√ 5
(iv) Given that,
Sum of zeroes = 1
Product of zeroes = 1
Quadratic polynomial is
x2 – (sum of zeroes)x + product of zeroes = 0
x2 – x + 1 = 0
Quadratic polynomial is :
F(x) = x2 – x +1
$$(v) \text{Given that,}\\\text{Sum of zeroes}=\frac{-1}{4}\\\text{Product of zeroes}=\frac{1}{4}\\\text{Quadratic polynomial is}\\\text{x2 – (sum of zeroes)x + product of zeroes = 0}\\x^2-(\frac{-1}{4})x+\frac{1}{4}=0\\x^2+\frac{x}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=0\\\frac{4x^2+x+1}{4}=0\\4x^2 + x + 1 = 0\\4x^2 + x + 1 = 0\\\text{Hence, the polynomial is}\\ F(x) = 4x^2 + x + 1$$
(vi) Given that,
Sum of zeroes = 4
Product of zeroes = 1
Quadratic polynomial is
x2 – (sum of zeroes)x + product of zeroes = 0
x2 – 4x + 1 = 0
Hence, the polynomial is
F(x) = x2 – 4x + 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).

(ii) Let P(x) = x3 – 4x2 + 5x – 2
P(2) = 23 – 4 × 22 + 5 × 2 – 2
P(2) = 8 – 16 + 10 – 2

(2k – 9)x + 10 – k(8 – k)
Quotient q(x) = x2 – 4x + (8 – k)
Remainder r(x) = (2k – 9)x + 10 – k(8 – k)
Given remainder r(x) = x + a
Compare both remainder
2k – 9 = 1
2k = 10
k = 5
but
a = 10 – k(8 – k)
Put k = 5
⇒ a = 10 – 5(8 – 5)
⇒ a = 10 – 5 × 3
⇒ a = 10 – 15
⇒ a = – 5.
Hence, k = 5 and a = – 5.
