21. Find the zero of the polynomial x 2  7 x  10 and test the relation between the zero and
coefficient.

Ans. Given polynomial :

x 2  7 x  10  0
 x 2  5 x  2 x  10  0
 x ( x  5)  2( x  5)  0
 ( x  50( x  2)  0
Either,
x5 0
 x  5
Or,
x+2=0
 x=-2

So, the zeros of given polynomial are -5 and -2.

Ans. Given equation,

x 2  3 x  10  0
 x 2  5 x  2 x  10  0
 x( x  5)  2( x  5)  0
 ( x  5)( x  2)  0
x5  0 ; x2  0
x5 x  2

Therefore, the required root of the given equation is 5 and -2.

Ans. Let AB be the diameter of a circle with centre O. The tangents PQ and RS are drawn at
point A and B respectively.

We know that a tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the
point of contact.

 OA  PQ and OB  RS
So,
OBR = 900
OBS = 900
OAP = 900
OAQ = 900

Therefore, we get

OBR  OAQ
OBS  OAP

Also, these are the pair of alternate interior angles.

Now,

Since the alternate interior angles are equal, we can say that the lines PQ and RS are parallel
to each other.

Hence proved.

∴Total volume will be (125+64+27) = 216 cm3

Thus, this will be the volume new formed cube .

Now,

Edge of cube = 3 Volume  3 216  6cm

Hence, the edge of new cube formed is 6cm.

a2  a1
Common difference (d)= =8-3 =5

Let 78 be the nth term,

Then, using the formula,

an  a  ( n  1) d
 78  3  ( n  1)5

Ans. Given equations are

2x + 3y = 11 ------(1)

2x - 4y = -24--------(2)

From equation (2),we get

2x- 4y =-24

2(x-2y) =2(-12)

x -2y=-12

x =-12+2y

Now,

Put x=-12+2y in equation (1)

2x + 3y = 11

2(-12+2y) + 3y =11

-24+4y+3y=11
