Question 1.
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:
(i) 2x3 + x2 – 5x + 2; \(\frac{1}{2}\), 1, – 2
(ii) x3 – 4x2 + 5x – 2; 2, 1, 1
Answer:
Let P(x) = 2x3 + x2 – 5x + 2 on comparing with general polynomial P(x) = ax3 + bx2 + cx + d we get
a = 2, b = 1, c = – 5 and d = 2
Given zeroes \(\frac{1}{2}\), 1, – 2
KSEEB Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Polynomials Ex 9.4 1
P(1) = 2 (1)3 + (1)2 – 5(1) + 2
= 2 × 1 + 1 – 5 + 2
= 2 + 1 – 5 + 2 = 5 – 5 = 0
P(1) = 0
P(- 2) = 2(- 2)3 + (-2)2 – 5(- 2) + 2
= 2 × – 8 + 4 + 10 + 2
= – 16 + 16
P(- 2) = 0
Hence 1/2, 1 & -2 are the zeroes of the given cubic polynomial
Again consider α = 1/2, β = 1 & γ = – 2

ii) Let P(x) = x3 – 4x2 + 5x – 2 on comparing with general polynomial
P(x) = ax3 + bx2 + cx + d
we get a = 1, b = – 4, c = 5 & d = 2.
Given zeroes 2, 1, 1
P(2) = (2)3 – 4(2)2 + 5(2) – 2
= 8 – 4 × 4 + 10 – 2
= 8 – 16 + 10 – 2
P(2) = 18 – 18 = 0
P(2) = 0
P(1) = (1)3 – 4(1)2 + 5(1) – 2
= 1 – 4 + 5 – 2
P(1) = 6 – 6 = 0
P(1) = 0
Hence, 2, 1 and 1 are the zeroes of the given cubic polynomial.
Again, consider α = 2, β = 1 & γ = 1
α + β + γ = 2 + 1 + 1 = 4
and α + β + γ = \(\frac{-b}{a}=\frac{-(-4)}{1}\) = 4
αβ + βγ + γα = 2(1) + (1) (1) + (1) × (2)
= 2 + 1 + 2 = 5
αβ + βγ + γα = \(\frac{c}{a}=\frac{5}{l}\) = 5
αβγ = 2 × 1 × 1 = 2
αβγ = \(\frac{-d}{a}=\frac{-(-2)}{1}=\frac{2}{1}\) = 2

Question 2.
Find a cubic polynomial with the sum, 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 cubic polynomial be P(x) = ax3 + bx2 + cx + d
Then sum of zeroes = \(\frac{-b}{a}\) = 2
Sum of the product of zeroes taken two at a time = \(\frac{c}{a}\) = – 7
Product of zeroes = \(\frac{-d}{a}\) = – 14

Question 3.
If the zeroes of the polynomial x3 – 3x2 + x + 1 are a – b, a, a + b, find a and b.
Answer:
The given Polynomial is x3 – 3x2 + x + 1
comparing with Ax3 + Bx2 + Cx + D,
A = 1, B = – 3, C = 1 & D = 1
Let α = a – b, β = a & γ = a + b
α + β + γ = \(\frac{B}{A}=\frac{-(-3)}{1}\) = 3
a – b + a + a + b = 3
3a = 3
a = \(\frac{3}{3}\) = 1
a = 1
αβγ = \(\frac{-D}{A}\) = – 1
(a – b) a (a + b) = – 1 Put a = 1
(1 – b) 1 (1 + b) = – 1
1 – b2 = – 1
1 + 1 = b2
b2 = 2
b = ±\(\sqrt{2}\)
∴ a = 1 & b = ±\(\sqrt{2}\)

Question 4.
If two zeroes of the polynomial x4 – 6x3 – 26x2 + 138x – 35 are 2 ±\(\sqrt{3}\). find other zeroes.
Answer:
Two zeroes of the given polynomial x4 – 6x3 – 26x2 + 138x – 35 are 2 ± \(\sqrt{3}\).
∴ x = 2 ± \(\sqrt{3}\).
Therefore [(x – (2 + \(\sqrt{3}\))] [x – (2 – \(\sqrt{3}\))]
= (x – 2 – \(\sqrt{3}\)) (x – 2 + \(\sqrt{3}\))
= [(x – 2) – \(\sqrt{3}\)][(x – 2) + \(\sqrt{3}\))]
= (x – 2)2 – (\(\sqrt{3}\))2
= x2 – 4x + 4 – 3 = x2 – 4x + 1
∴ It is factor of Polynomial apply division algorithm.

Other two zeroes are given by the Quotient
x2 – 2x – 35 = 0
x2 – 7x + 5x – 35 = 0
x(x – 7) + 5(x – 7) = 0
(x – 7)(x + 5) = 0
x – 7 = 0 (or) x + 5 = 0
x = 7 (or) x = – 5
∴ x = 7, – 5

Question 5.
If the polynomial x4 – 6x3 + 16x2 – 25x + 10 is divided by another polynomial x2 – 2x + k, the remainder comes out to be x + a, find k and a.
Answer:
Let us apply the division algorithm to the given Polynomial
KSEEB Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Polynomials Ex 9.4 6
But remainder is given to be x + a comparing coefficients of x in the remainder obtained and remainder given:
(2K – 9)x – K(8 – K)+ 10 = x + a
∴ 2K – 9 = 1
∴ 2K = 1 + 9
K = \(\frac{10}{2}\)
K = 5 and – K(8 – K) + 10 = a
Put K = 5
– 5(8 – 5) + 10 = a
– 5(3) + 10 = a
– 15 + 10 = a
a = – 5
