Question 2.
If x = 1 is a zero of the polynomial f(x) = x3 – 2x2 + 4x + K, find the value of K.
Answer:
f(x) = x3 – 2x2 + 4x + K
∴ x = 1
f(x) = (1)3 – 2(1)2 + 4(1) + K
0 = 1 – 2(1) + 4 + K [f(1) = 0]
0 = 1 – 2 + 4 + K.
K + 3 = 0
K = – 3

Answer:
f(x) = x2 – x – (2K + 2) and f(x) = 0
x = – 4
f(- 4) = (- 4)2 (- 4) – (2K + 2)
0 = 16 + 4 – 2K – 2
20 – 2 – 2K = 0 ⇒ 18 = 2K
K = \(\frac{18}{2}\) ⇒ K = 9

Question 8.
If the polynomials 2x3 + ax2 + 3x – 5 and x3 + x2 – 4x – a leave the same remainder when divided by x – 1 find the value of a.
Answer:
x – 1 = 0 [∴ g(x) = (0)]
x = 1
P(x) = 2x3 + ax2 + 3x – 5
P(1) = 2(1)3 + a(1)3 + 3(1) – 5
P(1) = 2 + a + 3 – 5
P(1) = a ➝ (1)
g(x) = x3 + x2 – 4x – a
g(1) = (1)3 + (1)2 – 4(1) – a
= 1 + 1 – 4 – a
g(x) = – 2 – a ➝ (2)
g(1) = g(1) [∴ Polynomials are leave same remainder]
a = – 2 – a
a + a = – 2
2a = – 2
a = \(\frac{-2}{2}\)
a = – 1

Question 9.
If (x3 + ax2 – bx + 10) is divisible by x3 – 3x + 2, find the values of a and b.
Answer:
P(x) = x3 + ax2 – bx + 10
g(x) = x2 – 3x + 2
x2 – 2x – x + 2 = 0
x(x – 2) – 1(x – 2) = 0
(x – 2) (x – 1) = 0
x = 2 and x = 1
P(x) = x3 + ax2 – bx + 10
P(x) = (1)3 + a(1)2 – b(1) + 10
= 1 + a – b + 10
0 = a – b + 11
a – b = – 11 ➝ (1)
P(2) = (2)3 + a(2)2 – b(2) + 10
P(2) = 8 + 4a – 2b – 10
0 = 4a – 2b + 18
4a – 2b = – 18 ➝ (2)
Multiply equation (1) by 4 and subtract with equation (2)

Question 10.
If both x – 2 and x – \(\frac{1}{2}\) are factors of ax2 + 5x + b show that a = b.
Answer:
P(x) = ax2 + 5x2 + b
x – 2 = 0
x = 2
P(x) = ax2 + 5x + b
P(2) = a(2)2 + 5(2) + b
0 = 4a + 10 + b ➝ (1)
P(x) = ax2 + 5x + b
x – \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 0
x = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
P(x) = ax2 + 5x + b
KSEEB Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Polynomials Additional Questions 8
a = – 2 ➝ (3)
Put a = – 2 in equation (1)
4a – 10 + b = 0
4(- 2) + 10 + b = 0
– 8 + 10 + b = 0
2 + b = 0
b = -2 ➝ (4)
From (3) and (4)
a = b.

Question 11.
If α and β are the zeroes of the quadratic polynomials f(x) = 2x2 – 5x + 7, find a polynomial whose zeroes are 2α + 3β and 3α + 2β.
Answer:
Since α and β are the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial f(x) = 2x2 – 5x + 7.
KSEEB Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Polynomials Additional Questions 9
Let S and P denote respectively the sum and product of the zeroes of the required polynomial.
Then, S = (2α + 3β) + (3α + 2β)
= 5(α + β) = 5 × \(\frac{5}{2}=\frac{25}{2}\) and
P = (2α + 3β) (3α + 2β)
⇒ P = (6α2 + 6β2 + 13αβ)
= 6α2 + 12αβ + αβ + 6β2
⇒ P = 6(α2 + β2 + 2αβ + αβ
= 6(α + β)2 + αβ
= 6(α2 + β2 + 2αβ) + αβ
= 6(α + β)2 + αβ
KSEEB Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Polynomials Additional Questions 10
Hence the required polynomial g(x) is given by
g(x) = K(x2 – 5x + P)
or g(x) = K\(\left(x^{2}-\frac{25}{2} x+41\right)\), where K and any non zero real number.

Question 14.
If one zero of polynomial (a2 + 9)x2 + 13x + 6a and reciprocal of the other, find the value of a.
Answer:
Let one zero of the given polynomial be α
Then, the other zero and \(\frac{1}{\alpha}\)
∴ Product of zeroes = α × \(\frac{1}{\alpha}\) = 1
But, as per the given polynomial product of Zeroes = \(\frac{6 a}{a^{2}+9}\)
∴ \(\frac{6 a}{a^{2}+9}\) = 1 ⇒ a2 + 9 = 6a
⇒a2 – 6a + 9 = 0 ⇒ (a – 3)2 = 0
⇒ a – 3 = 0 ⇒ a = 3
Hence a = 3.

Question 15.
Find the zeroes of the polynomial f(x) = x3 – 5x2 – 2x + 24 if it is given that the product of its two zeroes is 12.
Answer:
Let α, β and γ be the zeroes of polynomial f(x) such that αβ = 12
KSEEB Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Polynomials Additional Questions 13
Putting αβ = 12 in αβγ = – 24 we get
12γ = – 24 ⇒ γ = \(\frac{-24}{12}\) = – 2
Now α + β + γ = 5 ⇒ α + β – 2 = 5
⇒ α + β = 7
⇒ α = 7 – β
∴ αβ =12
⇒ (7 – β) β = 12
⇒ 7β = β2 = 12
⇒ β2 – 7β + 12 = 0
⇒ β2 – 3β – 4β – 12 = 0
⇒β(β -3) – 4(β – 3) = 0
⇒(β -4)(β – 3) = 0
⇒ β = 4 or β = 3
α = 3 or α = 4.

Question 16.
If α, β, γ be zeroes of polynomial 6x3 + 3x2 – 5x +1, then find the value of α– 1 + β– 1 + γ– 1
Answer:
P(x) = 6x3 + 3x2 – 5x + 1 so
a = 6, b = 3, c = – 5, d = 1
∴ α, β and γ are zeroes of the polynomial p(x)
