p(x) = x2 – 1, x = 1, – 1

Answer:

Here, p(x) = x2 – 1
Substitute x = 1 in p(x)
So, p(1) = (1)2 – 1
= 1 – 1
p(1) = 0
Therefore, x = 1 is the zero of the polynomial
x2 – 1. Now substitute x = – 1, in the given
polynomial.

= 0 ( – 3)
= 0
Therefore, it is verified that x = – 1
is the zero of the polynomial
(x + 1) (x – 2)
Now substitute x = 2 in p(x)
So, p(2) = (2 + 1) (2 – 2)

Answer:

Let p(x) = x3 – ax2 + 6x – a
Divisor is x – a
So, take x – a = 0
x = a
put x = a in p(x), we get:
p(a) = a3 – a(a)2 + 6a – a
= a3 – a3 + 6a – a
= 5a
p(a) = 5a
Hence, remaninder is 5a.

p (–1) = (–1)4 + (–1)3 + (–1)2 + (–1) + 1
= 1 – 1 + 1 – 1 + 1
= 1 ≠ 0
Hence, by factor theorem x + 1 is not a factor

p (x) = 2x3 + x2 – 2x – 1
and divisor; g (x) = x + 1
Take (x + 1) = 0 x = –1
Put x = –1 in p (x), we get:
p (–1) = 2 (–1)3 + (–1)2 – 2(–1) – 1
= – 2 + 1 + 2 – 1 = 0
Hence, by factor theorem x + 1 i.e. g (x) is

Put x = 3 in p (x), we get:
p (3) = (3)3 – 4 (3)2 + 3 + 6
= 27 – 36 + 3 + 6
= 36 – 36
= 0
Hence, by factor theorem x – 3, i.e. g (x) is a
factor of x3 – 4x2 + x + 6.

Question 65:

Factorise:
x3 – 2x2 – x + 2

Answer:

Let us denote the given polynomial as p(x) So, p(x) = x3 – 2x2 – x + 2
All factors of +2 are ± 1, ± 2
By inspection,
p(–1) = (–1)3 –2(–1)2 – (–1) + 2
= – 1 – 2 + 1 + 2
p(–1) = 0
So, by factor theorem (x + 1) is a factor of p(x)
Now divide p(x) by (x + 1)

Thus x3 – 2x2– x + 2
= (x + 1) (x2 – 3x + 2)
The factors of x2 – 3x + 2 can be solved by
splitting the middle term or using factor
theorem.
By splitting the middle term,
we have
x2 – 3x + 2 = x2 – x – 2x + 2
= x(x – 1) –2(x – 1)
= (x – 1) (x – 2)
So, x3 – 2x2 – x + 2 = (x + 1) (x – 1) (x –2)

Question 66:

Factorise:
x3 – 3x2 – 9x – 5

Answer:

Let us denote the given polynomial as
p(x) = x3 – 3x2 – 9x – 5
All factors of –5 are ± 1, ± 5
By inspection,
p(–1) = (–1)3 –3 (–1)2 –9 (–1) – 5
= –1 – 3 + 9 – 5
= 9 – 9
= 0
So, by factor theorem x + 1 is a factor of p(x)
Now divide p(x) by x + 1.

Thus x3 – 3x2 – 9x – 5
= (x + 1) (x2 – 4x – 5)
Factors of x2 – 4x – 5 by splitting the middle
terms are as follows:
x2 – 4x – 5 = x2 – 5x + x – 5
= x(x – 5) + 1(x –5)
= (x – 5) (x + 1)
So, x3 – 3x2 – 9x – 5 = (x + 1) (x – 5) (x +1)
or = (x + 1) (x + 1) (x – 5)

Question 67:

Factorise:
x3 + 13x2 + 32x + 20

Answer:

Let us denote the given polynomial as
p(x) = x3 + 13x2 + 32x + 20
All factors of 20 are
± 1, ± 2, ± 4, ± 5, ± 10, ± 20
By inspection,
p(–1) = (–1)3 + 13(–1)2 + 32(–1) + 20
= – 1 + 13 – 32 + 20
= 33 – 33
p(–1) = 0
So, by factor theorem x + 1 is a factor of p(x).
Now divide p(x) by (x + 1)

Thus x3 + 13x2 + 32x + 20
= (x + 1) (x2 + 12x + 20)
Factors of x2 + 12x + 20 by splitting the
middle terms are as follows:
x2 + 12x + 20 = x2 + 2x + 10x + 20
= x(x + 2) + 10 (x + 2)
= (x + 2) (x + 10)
So, x3 + 13x2 + 32 x + 20
= (x + 1) (x + 2) (x + 10)

Question 68:

Factorise:
2y3 + y2 – 2y – 1

Answer:

Let us denote the given polynomial as
p(y) = 2y3 + y2 – 2y – 1
All factors of –1 are ± 1
By inspection,
p(1) = 2(1)3 + (1)2 – 2(1) – 1
= 2 + 1 – 2 – 1
= 3 – 3
p(1) = 0
So, by factor theorem; y – 1 is a factor of
p(y).
Now divide p(y) by y – 1.

Thus 2y3 + y2 – 2y – 1
= (y – 1) (2y2 + 3y + 1)
Factors of 2y2 + 3y + 1 by splitting the middle
terms are as follows:
2y2 + 3y + 1 = 2y2 + 2y + y + 1
= 2y (y + 1) + 1 (y + 1)
= (y + 1) (2y + 1)
So, 2y3 + y2 – 2y – 1
= (y – 1) (y + 1) (2y + 1)

and c = 4z
Therefore using the identity
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca
we write (x + 2y + 4z)2 = x2 + (2y)2 + (4z)2 +
2x(2y) + 2(2y) (4z) + 2(4z)x
= x2 + 4y2 + 16z2 + 4xy + 16yz + 8xz

c = 2z
Therefore using the identity
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca
we write
(– 2x + 3y + 2z)2 = {(– 2x)2 + (3y)2 + (2z)2
+ 2( – 2x) (3y) + 2 (3y) (2z) + 2(2z) (– 2x)}

c = –c
Using the identity
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca
we get:
[3a + (–7b) + (–c)]2 = (3a)2 + (–7b)2 + (–c)2
+ 2 (3a) (–7b) + 2 (–7b) (–c) + 2(–c) (3a)

Comparing the given expression with
(a + b + c)2 we find that a = –2x, b = 5y and c = –3z
Therefore using the identity
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca
we write
[–2x + 5y + (–3z)]2
= (–2x)2 + (5y)2 + (–3z)2 + 2(–2x) (5y)
+ 2(5y) (–3z) + 2 (–3z) (–2x)
