Chapter 2 Polynomials
Solution
1. d. -6
Explanation: If the polynomial is exactly divisible by
, then
(By factor theorem)
2. b. 2
Explanation: = =
Here the largest exponent of variable is 2,
therefore number of zeroes of the given polynomial is 2.
3. c. 9
Explanation: According to the question,
Also
4. a.
Explanation: Let are the zeroes of the given polynomial. Given:
and To find : Since,
……….(i)
Also
[From eq. (i)]
5. a.
Explanation: x2-( )x + =0
Here And =
x2 -( )x + ( )=0
x2 + x- =0
= 0 (By L.C.M)
6. Given polynomial is p(x) = 2x3 - 6x2 + 5x - 7

Let = (a - b), = a and = ( a + b)
Now, = =3
⇒ ( a - b) + a + (a + b ) = 3
⇒a-b+a+a+b=3
⇒ 3a = 3
⇒ a = 3/3
⇒a=1
So the value of a in given polynomial is 1.
7. Let and be the zeros of the required quadratic polynomial.

As per given condition the sum of the zeros and the product of zeros of a quadratic
polynomial are and -3 respectively.
Then, we have
and = -3
Now, a quadratic polynomial whose zeros are and is given by
p(x) = x2 - +
Required quadratic polynomial,
p(x) = x2 - x + (-3)
= x2 + x-3
Hence the given polynomial is x2 + x-3.
8. Sum of zeroes =
Product of zeroes =
Quadratic polynomial is x2-(sum of zeroes)x + product of zeroes
=
9. Sum of zeroes = 5
Product of zeroes = 17
Quadratic Polynomial = - (sum of zeroes) product of zeroes =
10. It is given that One zero = - 8

and Sum of zeroes = 0
Since sum of zeroes
Other zero = 0 - (-8) = 8
Product of zeroes = 8 ( - 8) = - 64
Hence, Polynomial p(x) = x2 - (S)x + P
= x2 - 64
11. We have,
f(x) = abx2 + (b2 - ac)x - bc
= abx2 + b2x - acx - bc

= bx(ax + b ) - c(ax + b)
= (ax + b) (bx - c)
Now r(x)=0 if
ax+b=0 or bx-c=0
Thus, the zeroes of f(x) are :
Now for f(x) = abx2 + (b2 - ac)x - bc
A = ab , B= b2 - ac, C = -b
From (1) & (3) and (2) & (4) we conclude:

12. f(x) = 8x2 - 4
= 4 (2x2 - 1)
So, the zeros of f(x) are
Sum of zeros =
Product of zeros =
13. Let are zeroes of quadratic polynomial p(x).
Here,
= 10
and = 25 - 2 = 23
Hence the polynomial is p(x) = x2 - 10x + 23.
14. 0,
Let the quadratic polynomial be ax2 + bx + c

and its zeroes be and ,
Then,
If a = 1, then b = 0 and
So, one quadratic polynomial which fits
the given conditions is
15. Given polynomial is p(x) = x3 - 9x2 - 12x + 20 and x + 2 is a factor of p(x).

dividend = divisor × quotient + remainder
p(x) = (x + 2) (x2 - 11x + 10)
= (x + 2) (x2 - 10x - x + 10)

= (x + 2) [x (x - 10) - 1 (x - 10)]
= (x + 2) (x - 1) (x - 10)
Zeroes of p(x) are -2, 1, 10.
16. f(x) = 6x2 + x - 2

a = 6, b = 1, c = -2
Let zeroes be and β.Then
Sum of zeroes= +β
Product of zeroes ×β
17. No, (x – 2) cannot be remainder on division of polynomial p(x) by (2x + 3) because the
degree of remainder is either 0 or its degree is less than the degree of the divisor.
18. P(x) = x3 + px2 + qx + 2
Here, a = 1, b = p, c = q, d = 2
Now, = -p.......(i)
=q
= q..............(ii)
and = -2
= -2.......................(iii)
Also,
Therefore, (iii) becomes -1
Substituting in (i), we get
=- p - 2
Substituting these value in (ii), we get
-1 + 2(-p - 2) = q
-1 - 2p - 4 = q
2p + q + 5 = 0
19. As x = 2 and -5 are the zeroes of x4 + 6x3 + x2- 24x - 20.
(x - 2) and (x + 5) are two factors of x4 + 6x3 + x2 -24x - 20
product of factors is (x - 2) (x + 5) = x2 + 3x - 10
Dividing x + 6 + - 24x - 20 by + 3x - 10
Dividend = divisor quotient + remainder
x4 + 6x3 + x2 - 24x - 20 = (x2 + 3x -10) (x2 + 3x + 2)

= (x - 2) (x + 5) (x + 2) (x + 1)
Hence, other two zeroes are -2 and -1.
20.
By division algorithm for polynomials, we have
So, the required polynomial is

Now,
q(x) and g(x) will be factors of f(x)
x2 - 5 = 0 and x2 - 2x - 3 = 0
x2 - ( )2 = 0 and x2 + x - 3x - 3 = 0
(x - )(x + ) = 0 and (x + 1)(x - 3) = 0
x= ,x=- , x = -1 and x = 3
So, the zeroes are α = , =- , γ = -1 and = 3 .
