Exercise 2.2
1. Find the zeroes of the following quadratic polynomials and verify the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients.
(i) x2 – 2x – 8
(ii) 4s2 – 4s + 1
(iii) 6x2 – 3 – 7x
(iv) 4u2 +8u
(v)  t2 – 15
(vi) 3x2 – x- 4
Answer
(i) x2 – 2x – 8  
=(x – 4)(x + 2)
The value of x2 – 2x – 8 is zero when x – 4 = 0 or x + 2 = 0, i.e when x = 4 or x = -2
Therefore, the zeroes of x2 – 2x – 8 are 4 and -2.
Sum of zeroes = 4 + (-2) = 2= -(-2)/1 = -(Coefficient of x)/Coefficient of x2
Product of zeroes = 4 x (-2) = -8 = -8/1 = Constant term/Coefficient of x2
(ii) 4s2 – 4s + 1
= (2s-1)2
The value of 4s2 – 4s + 1is zero when 2s – 1, i.e., s=1/2
Therefore, the zeroes of 4s2 – 4s + 1 are 1/2 and 1/2.
Sum of zeroes =1/2 + 1/2 =1 = -(-4)/4 =-(Coefficient of s)/Coefficient of s2
Product of zeroes = 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4 = Constant term/Coefficient of s2.
(iii) 6x2 – 3 – 7x
= 6x2 – 7x – 3
= (3x +1) (2x – 3)
The value of 6x2 – 3 – 7x is zero when 3x + 1 = 0 or 2x – 3 = 0., x= -1/3 or x = 3/2

ALSO READ
Therefore, the zeroes of 6x2 – 3 – 7x are -1/3 and 3/2
Sum of zeroes = -1/3 + 3/2 = 7/6 = -(-7)/6 = -(Coefficient of x)/Coefficient of x2
Product of zeroes = -1/3 x 3/2 = -1/2 = -3/2 = -3/6 = Constant term/Coefficient of x2.
(iv) 4u2 +8u
= 4u2 +8u +
=4u(u + 2)
The value of 4u2 +8u is zero when 4u = 0 or u + 2 = 0, i.e., u = 0 or u = -2
Therefore, the zeroes of 4u2 +8u are 0 and -2

 Sum of zeroes = 0+(-2) = -2 = -(8)/4 = -(Coefficient of u)/Coefficient of u2
Product of zeroes = 0x(-2) = 0 = 0/4 = Constant term/Coefficient of  u2
(v) t2 - 15
= t2 – 0.t – 15
= (t2 - 15)(t - 15)
The value of t2 – 15 is zero when t - 15 = 0 or t + 15 = 0, i.e., when t = 15 or t = -15
Therefore, the zeroes of t2+ - 15 are 15 and -15. Sum of zeroes = 15 + -15 = 0
= -0/1 = -(Coefficient of t)/Coefficient of t2
Product of zeroes = (15)(-15) = -15/1 = Constant term/Coefficient of u2.
(vi) 3x2 – x – 4
= (3x – 4)(x + 1)
The value of 3x2 – x – 4 is zero when 3x -4 = 0 and x+1  = 0, i.e., when x = 4/3 or x = -1
Therefore, the zeroes of 3x2 – x – 4 are 4/3 and -1
Sum of zeroes = 4/3 +(-1) = 1/3 = -(-1)/3 = -(Coefficient of x)/Coefficient of x2
Product of zeroes = 4/3 x (-1) = -4/3 = Constant term/Coefficient of x2.

Let the polynomial be ax2 + bx + c, and its zeros be α and β
α+β = √2 = 32/3 = -b/a

Therefore, the quadratic polynomial is x2 - x + 1.
 (v) -1/4, 1/4
Let the polynomial be ax2 + bx + c, and its zeroes be α and β
α + β = -1/4 = -b/a
αβ = 1/4 =c/a

Answer
(i) p(x) = x3 - 3x2 + 5x – 3, g(x) = x- 2

If a = 3, then b = -3√2, c = 1
Therefore, the quadratic polynomial is 3x2 – 32x + 1.
(iii) 0, √5
Let the polynomial be ax2 + bx + c, and its zeroes be α and β
α + β = 0 = 0/1 = -b/a
αβ = 5 = 5/1 = c/a
if a = 1, then b = 0, c = 5

ALSO READ:

(iv) 1, 1
Let the polynomial be ax2 + bx + c, and its zeroes be α and β
α + β = 1 = 1/1 = -b/a
αβ = 1 = 1/1 = c/a
if a = 1, then b = -1, c = 1
Therefore, the quadratic polynomial is x2 –x + 1.
(v) -1/4, 1/4
Let the polynomial be ax2 + bx + c, and its zeroes be α and β
α + β = -1/4 = -b/a
αβ = 1/4  = c/a
if a = 4, then b = 1, c = 1
Therefore, the quadratic polynomial is 4x2 + x + 1.
(vi) 4, 1
Let the polynomial be ax2 + bx + c, and its zeroes be α and β
α + β = 4 = 4/1 = -b/a

Answer

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

Quotient = X2 + X – 3 and remainder 8
(iii) p(x) = X4 – 5X + 6, g(X) = 2 – X2


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:

Answer
(i) t2- 3, 2t4 + 3t3 – 2t2 – 9t – 12
t2 – 3 exactly divides 2t4 + 3t3 – 2t2 – 9t – 12 leaving no remainder, Hence it is a factor of 2t4 + 3t3 – 2t2 – 9t – 12.

(ii) X2 + 3X + 1, 3X4 + 5X3 – 7X2 + 2X + 2

X2 + 3x + 1 exactly divides 3x4 + 5x3 − 7x2 + 2x + 2 leaving no remainder. Hence, it is factor of 3x4 + 5x3 − 7x2 + 2x + 2.
(iii) x3 – 3x + 1, x5 – 4x3 + x2 + 3x + 1       

 
x3 – 3x + 1 didn’t divides exactly x5 − 4x3 + x2 + 3x + 1 and leaves 2 as remainder.
  Hence, it is factor of x5 − 4x3 + x2 + 3x + 1.
3. Obtain all other zeroes of 3x4 + 6x3 – 2x2 – 10x – 5, if two of its zeroes are (5/3).
Answer
p(x) = 3x4 + 6x3 – 2x2 – 10x – 5

Since the two zeroes are (5/3) and − (5/3)

3x4 + 6x3 – 2x2 – 10x – 5

Therefore, we divide the given polynomials by x2 − 5/3


 3x4 + 6x3 − 2x2 − 10x – 5 =

We factorize x2 + 2x + 1
= (x + 1)2
Therefore, its zero is given by x + 1 = 0
X = -1
As it has the term (x+1)2, therefore, there will be 2 zeroes at x = −1
Hence, the zeroes of the given polynomial are (5/3) and −(5/3), −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).
Answer
Here in the given question,
Dividend = x3−3x2+x+2
Quotient = x – 2
Remainder = −2x + 4
Divisor = g(x)

We know that,
Dividend = Quotient x Divisor + Remainder

=   x3−3x2+x+2 = (x−2) x g(x) + (−2x + 4)  =   x3 – 3x2 + x + 2 – (-2x + 4) = (x – 2) x g(x)
=   x3−3x2+3x−2 = (x−2)x g(x)
  =    g(x) = (x3−3x2+3x−2)/(x −2)

So, g(x) = (x2− x+2)
5. Give examples of polynomial 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
Answer
(i) Let us assume the division of 6x2 + 2x + 2 by 2
Here, p(x) = 6x2 + 2x + 2
g(x) = 2
q(x) = 3x2 + x + 1
r(x) = 0
degree of p(x) and q(x) is same i.e. 2.
Checking for division algorithm,
P(x) = g(x) x q(x) + r(x)
Or, 6x2 + 2x + 2 = 2x(3x2 + x +1)
Hence, division algorithm is satisfied.
(ii) Let us  assume the division of x3 + x by x2,
Here, p(x) = x3 + x
g(x) = x2
q(x) = x and r(x) = x
Clearly, the degree of q(x) and r(x)  is the same i.e.1.
Checking for division algorithm,
p(x) = g(x) x q(x) + r(x)
x3 + x = (x2) x x + x
x3 + x = (x3) + x
Thus, the division algorithm is satisfied.
(iii) Let us assume the division of x3+1 by x2.
Here, p(x) = x3 + 1
g(x) = x2
q(x) = x and r(x) = 1
Clearly, the degree of r(x) is 0.
Checking for division algorithm,
p(x) = g(x) x q(x) + r(x)
x3 + 1 = (x2) x x + 1
x3 + 1 = (x3) + 1
Thus, the division algorithm is satisfied.
                                                                        Exercise 2.4
Verify that the numbers given alongside of the cubic polynomials below are their zeroes.
Also verify the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients in each case:

(ii) x3 – 4x2 + 5x – 2;    2,1,1
Answer:
(i) p(x) = 2x3 + x2 – 5x + 2.

=0
P(-2) = 2(-2)3 + (-2)2 – 5(-2) + 2

= -16 + 4 + 10 + 2 = 0

Therefore 1/2, 1 and -2 are the zeroes of the given polynomial.
Comparing the given polynomial with ax3+ bx2 + cx + d, we obtain a = 2,
b = 1, c = -5, d = 2

We can take α = 1/2, β = 1, ƴ = -2 
Therefore, the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients is verified.
(ii) p(x) = x3 – 4x2 + 5x – 2
Zeroes for this polynomial are 2,1,1.
P(2) = 23 – 4(22) + 5(2) – 2
8 – 16 + 10 – 2 = 0
p(1) = 13 – 4(1)2 + 5(1) – 2
= 1 – 4 + 5 – 2 = 0
Therefore 2,1,1 are the zeroes of the given polynomial.
Comparing the given polynomial with ax3 + bx2 + cx + d, we obtain a = 1, b = -4, c = 5, d = -2.

Verification of the relationship between zeroes and coefficient of the given polynomial
Hence, the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficient is verified.

Question 2:
                                        
Find a cubic polynomial with the sum of the product of its zeroes taken two at a time, and the product of its zeroes as 2, -7, - 14 respectively.
Answer:
Let the polynomial be ax3 + bx2 + cx + d and the zeroes be α, β and ƴ


If a = 1, then b = -2, c = -7, d = 14
Hence, the polynomial x3 - 3x2 + x + 1 are a-b, a, a+b, find a and b.

Answer:
p(x) = x3 - 3x2 + x + 1
Zeroes are a – b, a + a + b
Comparing the given polynomial with px3 + qx2 +rx + 1, we obtain
P = 1, q = -3, r = 1, t = 1

Sum of zeroes = a – b + a + a + b
 The zeroes are 1 – b, 1, 1 + b.
Multiplication of zeroes = 1(1-b)(1+b)
