Question 1.
Determine which of the following polynomials has (x +1) a factor.
(i) x3+x2+x +1
(ii) x4 + x3 + x2 + x + 1
(iii) x4 + 3x3 + 3x2 + x + 1
(iv) x3 – x2 – (2 +√2 )x + √2
Solution:
The zero of x + 1 is -1.
(i) Let p (x) = x3 + x2 + x + 1
∴ p (-1) = (-1)3 + (-1)2 + (-1) + 1 .
= -1 + 1 – 1 + 1
⇒ p (- 1) = 0
So, (x+ 1) is a factor of x3 + x2 + x + 1.
(ii) Let p (x) = x4 + x3 + x2 + x + 1
∴ P(-1) = (-1)4 + (-1)3 + (-1)2 + (-1)+1
= 1 – 1 + 1 – 1 + 1
⇒ P (-1) ≠ 1
So, (x + 1) is not a factor of x4 + x3 + x2 + x+ 1.
(iii) Let p (x) = x4 + 3x3 + 3x2 + x + 1 .
∴ p (-1)= (-1)4 + 3 (-1)3 + 3 (-1)2 + (- 1) + 1
= 1 – 3 + 3 – 1 + 1 = 1
⇒ p (-1) ≠ 0
So, (x + 1) is not a factor of x4 + 3x3 + 3x2 + x+ 1.
(iv) Let p (x) = x3 – x2 – (2 + √2) x + √2
∴ p (- 1) =(- 1)3- (-1)2 – (2 + √2)(-1) + √2
= -1 – 1 + 2 + √2 + √2
= 2√2
⇒ p (-1) ≠ 0
So, (x + 1) is not a factor of x3 – x2 – (2 + √2) x + √2.
Question 2.
Use the Factor Theorem to determine whether g (x) is a factor of p (x) in each of the following cases
(i) p (x)= 2x3 + x2 – 2x – 1, g (x) = x + 1
(ii) p(x)= x3 + 3x2 + 3x + 1, g (x) = x + 2
(iii) p (x) = x3 – 4x2 + x + 6, g (x) = x – 3
Solution:
(i) We have, p (x)= 2x3 + x2 – 2x – 1 and g (x) = x + 1
∴ p(-1) = 2(-1)3 + (-1)2 – 2(-1) – 1
= 2(-1) + 1 + 2 – 1
= -2 + 1 + 2 -1 = 0
⇒ p(-1) = 0, so g(x) is a factor of p(x).
(ii) We have, p(x) x3 + 3x2 + 3x + 1 and g(x) = x + 2
∴ p(-2) = (-2)3 + 3(-2)2+ 3(-2) + 1
= -8 + 12 – 6 + 1
= -14 + 13
= -1
⇒ p(-2) ≠ 0, so g(x) is not a factor of p(x).
(iii) We have, = x3 – 4x2 + x + 6 and g (x) = x – 3
∴ p(3) = (3)3 – 4(3)2 + 3 + 6
= 27 – 4(9) + 3 + 6
= 27 – 36 + 3 + 6 = 0
⇒ p(3) = 0, so g(x) is a factor of p(x).
Question 3.
Find the value of k, if x – 1 is a factor of p (x) in each of the following cases
(i) p (x) = x2 + x + k
(ii) p (x) = 2x2 + kx + √2
(iii) p (x) = kx2 – √2 x + 1
(iv) p (x) = kx2 – 3x + k
Solution:
For (x – 1) to be a factor of p(x), p(1) should be equal to 0.
(i) Here, p(x) = x2 + x + k
Since, p(1) = (1)2 +1 + k
⇒ p(1) = k + 2 = 0
⇒ k = -2.
(ii) Here, p (x) = 2x2 + kx + √2
Since, p(1) = 2(1)2 + k(1) + √2
= 2 + k + √2 =0
k = -2 – √2 = -(2 + √2)
(iii) Here, p (x) = kx2 – √2 x + 1
Since, p(1) = k(1)2 – (1) + 1
= k – √2 + 1 = 0
⇒ k = √2 -1
(iv) Here, p(x) = kx2 – 3x + k
p(1) = k(1)2 – 3(1) + k
= k – 3 + k
= 2k – 3 = 0
⇒ k = 34
Question 4.
Factorise
(i) 12x2 – 7x +1
(ii) 2x2 + 7x + 3
(iii) 6x2 + 5x – 6
(iv) 3x2 – x – 4
Solution:
(i) We have,
12x2 – 7x + 1 = 12x2 – 4x- 3x + 1
= 4x (3x – 1 ) -1 (3x – 1)
= (3x -1) (4x -1)
Thus, 12x2 -7x + 3 = (2x – 1) (x + 3)
(ii) We have, 2x2 + 7x + 3 = 2x2 + x + 6x + 3
= x(2x + 1) + 3(2x + 1)
= (2x + 1)(x + 3)
Thus, 2×2 + 7x + 3 = (2x + 1)(x + 3)
(iii) We have, 6x2 + 5x – 6 = 6x2 + 9x – 4x – 6
= 3x(2x + 3) – 2(2x + 3)
= (2x + 3)(3x – 2)
Thus, 6x2 + 5x – 6 = (2x + 3)(3x – 2)
(iv) We have, 3x2 – x – 4 = 3x2 – 4x + 3x – 4
= x(3x – 4) + 1(3x – 4) = (3x – 4)(x + 1)
Thus, 3x2 – x – 4 = (3x – 4)(x + 1)
Question 5.
Factorise
(i) x3 – 2x2 – x + 2
(ii) x3 – 3x2 – 9x – 5
(iii) x3 + 13x2 + 32x + 20
(iv) 2y3 + y2 – 2y – 1
Solution:
(i) We have, x3 – 2x2 – x + 2
Rearranging the terms, we have x3 – x – 2x2 + 2
= x(x2 – 1) – 2(x2 -1) = (x2 – 1)(x – 2)
= [(x)2 – (1)2](x – 2)
= (x – 1)(x + 1)(x – 2)
[∵ (a2 – b2) = (a + b)(a-b)]
Thus, x3 – 2x2 – x + 2 = (x – 1)(x + 1)(x – 2)
(ii) We have, x3 – 3x2 – 9x – 5
= x3 + x2 – 4x2 – 4x – 5x – 5 ,
= x2 (x + 1) – 4x(x + 1) – 5(x + 1)
= (x + 1)(x2 – 4x – 5)
= (x + 1)(x2 – 5x + x – 5)
= (x + 1)[x(x – 5) + 1(x – 5)]
= (x + 1)(x – 5)(x + 1)
Thus, x3 – 3x2 – 9x – 5 = (x + 1)(x – 5)(x +1)
(iii) We have, x3 + 13x2 + 32x + 20
= x3 + x2 + 12x2 + 12x + 20x + 20
= x2(x + 1) + 12x(x +1) + 20(x + 1)
= (x + 1)(x2 + 12x + 20)
= (x + 1)(x2 + 2x + 10x + 20)
= (x + 1)[x(x + 2) + 10(x + 2)]
= (x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 10)
Thus, x3 + 13x2 + 32x + 20
= (x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 10)
(iv) We have, 2y3 + y2 – 2y – 1
= 2y3 – 2y2 + 3y2 – 3y + y – 1
= 2y2(y – 1) + 3y(y – 1) + 1(y – 1)
= (y – 1)(2y2 + 3y + 1)
= (y – 1)(2y2 + 2y + y + 1)
= (y – 1)[2y(y + 1) + 1(y + 1)]
= (y – 1)(y + 1)(2y + 1)
Thus, 2y3 + y2 – 2y – 1
= (y – 1)(y + 1)(2y +1)
Answer:
Solution:
Using the splitting the middle term method,
We have to find a number whose sum = -1 and product = 3×-4 = -12
We get -4 and 3 as the numbers [-4+3 = -1 and -4×3 = -12]
3x2–x–4 = 3x2–x–4
= 3x2–4x+3x–4
= x(3x–4)+1(3x–4)
= (3x–4)(x+1)
