If (1, −2) is a solution of the equation 2x – y = p, then find the value of p.

Sol.

2x − y = p

Putting x = 1, y = −2, in above equation, we get:

2(1) – (−2) = p

⟹ p=4

Q. If the graph of equation 2x + ky = 10k, intersect x-axis at point (2, 0) then find value of k.

Sol.

Here, 2x + ky = 10k ...(i)

At point (2, 0), equation (i) becomes:

2(2) + k(0) = 10k

⟹ 4 = 10k

⟹ k = 10/4 = 0.4

Q. Q. If a + b + c = 6 and ab + bc + ca = 11, find the value of a3 +b3 +c3 − 3abc.

Sol.

(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 +c2 +2(ab + bc + ca)

(6)2 = a2 + b2 +c2 + 2 × 11
2 2
a + b +c = 2

= 6 × (14 − 11)

= 6 × 3 = 18

Q. The polynomials ax3 – 3x2 +4 and 2x3 – 5x +a when divided by (x – 2) leave the remainders pand q respectively. If p –
2q = 4, find the value of a.

Sol.

Let, f(x) = ax3 – 3x2 +4

And g(x) = 2x3 – 5x +a

When f(x) and g(x) are divided by (x – 2) the remainders are p and q respectively.

⟹ f(2) = p and g(2) = q

⟹ f(2) = a × 23 – 3 × 22 + 4

⟹ p = 8a – 12 + 4

⟹ p = 8a – 8 ....(i)

And g(2)= 2 × 23 – 5 × 2 + a
⟹ q = 16 – 10 + a

⟹ q=6+a ....(ii)

But p – 2q = 4 (Given)

⟹ 8a – 8 – 2(6 + a) = 4 (Using equations (i) and (ii))

⟹ 8a – 8 – 12 − 2a = 4

⟹ 6a – 20 = 4

⟹ 6a = 24

⟹ a = 24/6

⟹ a=4

. Without actual division, prove that (2x4 − 6x3 + 3x2 + 3x – 2) is exactly divisible by (x2 − 3x +2).

Sol.

Let f(x) = 2x4– 6x3 + 3x2 + 3x – 2

And g(x) = x2– 3x + 2

= x2– 2x −x + 2

= x (x – 2) −1(x – 2) = (x – 1) (x – 2)

Now if x2– 3x + 2 is a factor of f(x)

Then (x – 1) and (x – 2) both should be factors of f(x)

Then, f (1) = f (2) = 0

So, f(1) = 2.14– 6.13 + 3.12 + 3.1 – 2

= 2–6+3+3–2=0

f(2) = 2.24– 6.23 + 3.22 + 3.2 – 2

= 32 – 48 + 12 + 6 – 2 = 0

Since f(1) = f(2) = 0

⟹ f(x) = 2x4– 6x3 + 3x2 + 3x – 2 is exactly divisible by (x – 1) and (x – 2).

∴ x2 – 3x + 2 is a factor of f(x).

Find the zero of the polynomial px = 3x + 5.
