Question 8)
Answer:
Given: (1 + x + x²) / (1 - x + x²) = 62(1 + x) / 63(1 - x)
To find: x
Solution:
(1 + x + x²) / (1 - x + x²) = 62(1 +x) / 63(1 - x)
(Cross multiplying: )
=> 63(1 - x)(1 + x +x²) = 62(1 + x)(1 - x + x²)
=> 63[1 + x+ x² - x - x² - x³] = 62 [ 1 - x + x² + x- x² + x³]
=> 63[1 - x³] = 62[1 + x³]
=> 63 - 63x³ = 62 + 62x³
=> 63 - 62 = 62x³ + 63x³
=> 1 = 125x³
x³ = 1/125
x³ = (1/5)³
∴ x = 1/5

Question 9)
If (x + 2) and (x - 3) are factors of x² + ax + b, find a and b.
Answer:
p(x) = x² + ax + b
Two of the factors are (x + 2) and (x - 3).
∴ Let x be -2 and 3 respectively.
Put the values of x in given equation:
(x = -2)
p(x) = (-2)² + a(-2) + b
0 = 4 - 2a + b
-4 = - 2a + b .... (1)
(x = 3)
p(x) = (3)² + a(3) + b
0 = 9 + 3a + b
-9 = 3a + b .... (2)
On subtracting (1) and (2):
-4 = -2a + b
- -9 = 3a + b
____________
5 = -5a
-1 = a
Putting value of a in equation (1),
- 4 = - 2(-1) + b
- 4 - 2 = b
- 6 = b
Thus, value of a is -1, and that of b is -6.
