Polynomials(9th Grade > Mathematics ) Questions and Answers
Explanation:-
Answer: Option A. -> 1, 2, 3,...:
A, B, C, and D
1, 2, 3... sequence can be represented using the polynomial x.
1, 3, 5... sequence can be represented using the polynomial 2x+1.
2, 4, 6... sequence can be represented using the polynomial 2x.
1, 4, 9... sequence can be represented using the polynomial x2.
All of these are polynomials in one variable i.e., x.
Explanation:-
Answer: Option D. -> -3abc:
D
p(x)=ax3−bx2+cx
If (x - 1) is a factor then x = 1 is the zero of polynomial
p(1) = 0
p(1)=a−b+c=0
It can be written as a+(−b)+c=0
We know that if a+b+c=0, then a3+b3+c3=3abc
So, a3+(−b)3+c3=3a(−b)c=−3abc
Explanation:-
Answer: Option D. -> 729:
xg+1xa=xg+x−a
Since g = a,
xg+1xa=xa+x−a
For the expression xa+x−a to be a polynomial, a and -a must be whole number so that the expression 1xa = 1 , hence a should be equal to 0 .
Thus, a = 0.
When a=0, the given polynomial will get simplified further as:
xg+1xa=xa+x−a
⇒ xg+1xa=x0+x−0
⇒ xg+1xa=x0+x0
⇒ xg+1xa=1+1=2
'2' is a constant polynomial in one variable with degree zero . Because 2=2x0.
So, 'a' must be equal to zero so that given expression is a polynomial in variable.
Explanation:-
Answer: Option D. -> 729:
In this expression, a2x2 and ax are the two terms. Since it is given that 'a' is a constant and 'x' is a variable, we can see that there is only one variable 'x' in the polynomial thus making it a polynomial in one variable.
Explanation:-
Answer: Option B. -> 2:
B
Remainder =r(x)=p(1)=13+8×12−7×1+12=14
The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its terms when the polynomial is expressed in its canonical form consisting of a linear combination of monomials.
So, Degree of r(x)=b=0
q(x)=p(x)g(x)
Now , p(x)=x3+8x2−7x+12
g(x)=(x−1)
Performing long division
x2+9x+2x−1)¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯x3+8x2−7x+12 x3−x2 (−) (+) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 9x2−7x 9x2−9x (−) (+) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ +2x+12 2x−2 (−) (+) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 14
∴q(x)=p(x)g(x)=x2+9x+2
So, degree of q(x)=a=2
Hence, a−b=2−0=2
Explanation:-
Answer: Option A. -> (x-3)(x-4):
A
We have to break up 7x in the given expression into two parts in such a way that their sum is 7x and the product of their coefficients is 12 .
x2−7x+12
=x2−4x−3x+12
=x(x−4)−3(x−4)
=(x−3)(x−4)
Thus x2−7x+12 can be factorised as (x−3)(x−4)
