4 Marks Questions

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

(i) p(x) = x3 − 3x2 + 5x − 3, g(x) = x2 − 2

(ii) p(x) = x4 − 3x2 + 4x + 5, g(x) = x2 – x + 1

(iii) p(x) = x4 − 5x + 6, g(x) = 2 − x2

Ans. (i)

Therefore, quotient =x – 3and Remainder =7x – 9

(ii)

22
Therefore, quotient =x2+x– 3 and, Remainder =8

(iii)

Therefore, quotient =−x2 – 2 and, Remainder =−5x+10

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

(i) t2−3, 2t4+3t3−2t2−9t−12

(ii) x2+3x+1, 3x4+5x3−7x2+2x+2

(iii) x3−3x+1, x5−4x3+x2+3x+1

Ans. (i)

Remainder = 0
Hence first polynomial is a factor of second polynomial.

23
(ii)

Remainder = 0
Hence first polynomial is a factor of second polynomial.

(iii)

Remainder ≠0

Hence first polynomial is not factor of second polynomial.

3. Obtain all other zeroes of (3x4+6x3−2x2−10x−5), if two of its zeroes are and .

Ans. Two zeroes of (3x4+6x3−2x2−10x−5) are and which means that

24
 is a factor of (3x4+6x3−2x2−10x−5).

Applying Division Algorithm to find more factors we get:

We have p(x) = g(x) × q(x).

⇒ (3x4+6x3−2x2−10x−5) = ( )(3x2+6x+3)

= ( )3(x2+2x+1) = 3( )(x2+x+x+1)

= 3( )(x+1)(x+1)

Therefore, other two zeroes of (3x4+6x3−2x2−10x−5) are −1 and −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).

Ans. Let p(x)=x3−3x2+x+2, q(x) = (x – 2) and r(x) = (–2x+4)

According to Polynomial Division Algorithm, we have

25
p(x)=g(x).q(x)+r(x)

⇒x3−3x2+x+2 = g(x).(x−2)−2x+4

⇒x3−3x2+x+2+2x−4=g(x).(x−2)

⇒x3−3x2+3x−2=g(x).(x−2)

⇒g(x)=

So, Dividing (x3−3x2+3x−2) by (x−2), we get

Therefore, we have g(x)= =x2−x+1

5. Give examples of polynomials 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

Ans. (i) Let p(x)=3x2+3x+6, g(x)=3

26
So, we can see in this example that deg p(x)=deg q(x)=2

(ii) Let p(x)=x3+5 and g(x)=x2−1

We can see in this example that deg q(x)=deg r(x) =1

(iii) Let p(x)=x2+5x−3, g(x) =x+3

We can see in this example that deg r(x)=0

6. Find the zeroes of the following quadratic polynomials and verify the relationship

27
between the zeros and the coefficients.

(i) x 2 −2x−8

(ii) 4s2−4s+1

(iii) 6x2−3−7x

(iv) 4u2+8u

(v) t 2 −15

(vi) 3x2−x−4

Ans. (i) x2−2x−8

Comparing given polynomial with general form ax2+bx+c,

We get a=1, b=-2 and c=-8

We have, x2−2x−8

=x2−4x+2x−8

=x(x−4)+2(x−4)=(x−4)(x+2)

Equating this equal to 0 will find values of 2 zeroes of this polynomial.

(x−4)(x+2)=0

⇒ x=4,−2 are two zeroes.

Sum of zeroes =4 – 2=2 = =

Product of zeroes =4×−2=−8 =

(ii) 4s2−4s+1

28
Here, a=4, b=-4 and c=1

We have, 4s2−4s+1

=4s2−2s−2s+1 = 2s(2s−1)−1(2s−1)

=(2s−1)(2s−1)

Equating this equal to 0 will find values of 2 zeroes of this polynomial.

⇒ (2s−1)(2s−1)=0

⇒s=

Therefore, two zeroes of this polynomial are

Sum of zeroes= =1 = =

Product of Zeroes =

(iii) 6x2−3−7x

Here, a=6, b=-7 and c=-3

We have, 6x2−3−7x

=6x2−7x−3 = 6x2−9x+2x−3

=3x(2x−3)+1(2x−3)=(2x−3)(3x+1)

Equating this equal to 0 will find values of 2 zeroes of this polynomial.

⇒ (2x−3)(3x+1)=0

29
⇒ x=

Therefore, two zeroes of this polynomial are

Sum of zeroes=

Product of Zeroes =

(iv) 4u2+8u

Here, a=4, b=8 and c=0

4u2+8u = 4u(u+2)

Equating this equal to 0 will find values of 2 zeroes of this polynomial.

⇒ 4u(u+2)=0

⇒ u=0,−2

Therefore, two zeroes of this polynomial are 0,−2

Sum of zeroes =0−2=−2 = =

Product of Zeroes =0×−2=0 =

(v) t2−15

Here, a=1, b=0 and c=-15

We have, t2−15

⇒ t2=15

30
⇒ t=

Therefore, two zeroes of this polynomial are

Sum of zeroes=

Product of Zeroes =

(vi) 3x2−x−4

Here, a=3, b=-1 and c=-4

We have, 3x2−x−4=3x2−4x+3x−4

=x(3x−4)+1(3x−4)=(3x−4)(x+1)

Equating this equal to 0 will find values of 2 zeroes of this polynomial.

⇒ (3x−4)(x+1)=0

⇒ x=

Therefore, two zeroes of this polynomial are

Sum of zeroes=

Product of Zeroes =
