Question 3.
Find the quotient \(\frac{x^5+x^4+x^3+x^2}{x^3+x^2+x+1}\) when x ≠ 1.
Solution:
\(\frac{x^5+x^4+x^3+x^2}{x^3+x^2+x+1}\)
= \(\frac{x^2\left(x^3+x^2+x+1\right)}{\left(x^3+x^2+x+1\right)}\)
= x2
So the quotient is [x2]

Question 4.
We can write a trinomial having degree 7th. Justify the given statement by giving one example. (T.S. Mar.15)
Solution:
Since the required is a trinomial, it should have 3 terms. As its degree is 7 the highest exponent (power) of the variable is 7. So the required will be
1) x7 – x6 + x5 (or) x7 – x + 10 (or) x7 – x5 – x (or) x7 + 5x6 + 6x5 or …

Question 5.
If we multiply or divide both sides of a linear equation by a non zero number, then the roots of linear equation will remain the same. Is it true ? If so justify with an example. (T.S. Mar. ’15)
Solution:
Let linear equation be 2x + 8 = 11
Its solution is 2x = 11 – 8 ⇒ 2x = 3
So x = \(\frac{3}{2}\)
Then 2x + 8 = 11 linear equation is divided by 10 on both sides.
\(\frac{2 x+8}{10}\) = \(\frac{11}{10}\) = 20x + 80 = 110
⇒ 20x = 110 – 80 = 30
then x = \(\frac{30}{2}\) = \(\frac{3}{2}\)
So its solution doesn’t change.
So the given statement is true.

Question 6.
Laxmi does not want to disclose the l, b, h of a cuboid of her project. She has constructed a polynomial x3 – 6x2 + 11x – 6 by taking the values of l, b, h as its zeros. Can you open the secret ? (T.S. Mar. 15)
Solution:
P(x) = x3 – 6x2 + 11x – 6
P(1) = (1)3 – 6(1)2 + 11 (1) – 6
= 1 – 6 + 11 – 6
= 12 – 12 = 0
∴ for P(x), (x – 1) is a factor
TS 10th Class Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Polynomials 21
x2 – 5x + 6 = x2 – 3x – 2x + 6
= x (x – 3) – 2(x – 3)
= (x – 3) (x – 2)
P(x) = (x – 1) (x – 2) (x – 3)
P(x) zeroes of the polynomial are 1, 2,3
∴ Measurements of the cuboid are 1,2 and 3 units.
Its solution doesn’t change
So it is true.

Solution:
p(x) = x2 + 3x – 4
TS 10th Class Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Polynomials 22
TS 10th Class Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Polynomials 23
∴ Zeroes of polynomial are -4 and 1

Question 8.
Given an example for a quadratic polynomial which has no zeroes.
Solution:
A quadratic polynomial is in the form of ax2 + bx + c. As this has no zeroes. Its discriminant will not be a real number.
So b2 – 4ac < 0
So we can choose certain a, b, c values where
b2 – 4ac < 0
For examples a = 1, b = 4 and c = 9
So ax2 + bx + c = 0
⇒ x2 + 4x + 9 = 0 will not have zeroes.

Question 9.
The length of a rectangle is 5 more than its breadth. So express its perimeter in the form of polynomial.
Solution:
Let the breadth of rectangle = xm and its
length = x + 5m.
So the perimeter = 2(l + b)
= 2(x + 5 + x)
= 2(2x + 5)
= 4x + 10m
TS 10th Class Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Polynomials 24
4x + 10 is the polynomial which represents the perimeter of above rectangle.

Question 10.
Draw the graph of polynomial
p(x) = x2 – 3x + 2 and find its zeros.
Sol, let y = p(x) = x2 – 3x + 2
If x = 0 then p(0) = 0 – 0 + 2
= 2 So (0, 2)
x = 1 then p(1) = 12 – 3(1) + 2
= 1 – 3 + 2
= 0 So (1, 0)
x = 2 then p(2) = 22 – 3(2) + 2
= 4 – 6 + 2
= 0 So (2, 0)
x = 3 then p(3) = 32 – 3(3) + 2
= 9 – 9 + 2
= 2 So (3, 2)
and if x = -1 then p(-1)
= (-1)2 – 3(-1) + 2
= 1 + 3 + 2
= 6 So (-1, 6)
x = -2 then p(-2) = (-2)2 – 3(2) + 2
= 4 + 6 + 2 = 12 So (-2, 12)
that means the graph of the polynomial
p(x) = x2 – 3x + 2 passes through the points. (0, 2), (1, 0) (2, 0) (3, 2) (-1, 6) and (-2, 12)
TS 10th Class Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Polynomials 25
So 1 and 2 are zeroes of the given polynomial.

Question 11.
Draw the graphs of the following two linear equations and find their solution.
Solution:
First we have to recognise the points through which the line 3x – 2y = 2 passes then after 2x + y = 6 pass. Let us find the points
3x – 2y = 2
So y = \(\frac{3 x-2}{2}\) —- (1)
Put x = 0 in above equation
∴ y = \(\frac{3(0)-2}{2}\) = \(\frac{0-2}{2}\) = 1
So (0, 1)
Now x = 1 then
y = \(\frac{3(1)-2}{2}\) = \(\frac{3-2}{2}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) So(1, \(\frac{1}{2}\))
Now x = 2 then
y = \(\frac{3(2)-2}{2}\) = \(\frac{6-2}{2}\) = \(\frac{4}{2}\) So(2, 2)
that means the line 3x – 2y = 2 passes through the points (0, -1), (1, \(\frac{1}{2}\)) and (2, 2)
Similarly
2x + y = 6
⇒ y = 6 – 2x —– (2)
Put x = 0 in the above equation (2) we get
y = 6 – 2(0) = 6 – 0 = 6 So(0, 6)
and x = 1 ⇒ y = 6 – 2(1) = 6 – 2 = 4
So(1, 4)
and x = 2 ⇒ y = 6 – 2(2) = 6 – 4 = 2
So (2, 2)
So the line 2x + y = 6 passes through the points (0, 6) (1, 4) and (2, 2)
Here we observe (2, 2) is the common point.
That means they intersert at (2, 2)
So x = 2 and y = 2 will be the solution of above the equations.

g(x) = x2 + 2 – x = x2 – x + 2
(∴ writing it in standard form)
TS 10th Class Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Polynomials 38
since degree of (-4x + 4) < degree of x2 – x + 2
∴ we stop here
So, the quotient is x2 + x + 2 and the remainder is (-4x + 4).

Question 16.
Check whether \(\frac{1}{2}\) is the zero of the polynomial 2x2 + x – 1 or not. (AP-SA-II : 2016)
Solution:
Let p(x) = 2x2 + x – 1
we have p(\(\frac{1}{2}\)) = 2(\(\frac{1}{2}\))2 + \(\frac{1}{2}\) – 1
= 2 × \(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) – 1
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) – 1 = 1 – 1
= 0
∴\(\frac{1}{2}\) is the zero of the polynomial.

Question 17.
Verify the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficient of x2 – 25 by finding its zeroes. (AP-SA-II : 2016)
Solution:
Given polynomial is x2 – 25
we have x2 – 25 = 0
⇒ (x + 5) (x – 5) = 0
⇒ x = -5 or x = 5
∴ The zeroes of x2 – 25 are – 5 and 5
∴ The sum of zeroes = -5 + 5 = 0 coefficient of x
TS 10th Class Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Polynomials 43
= –\(\frac{0}{1}\) = 0
And product of the zeroes = (-5) × (5) = – 25
TS 10th Class Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Polynomials 44
= –\(\frac{25}{1}\) = -25
Hence verified.

Question 18.
Give two examples of the polynomials p(x) and g(x) satisfying division algori-tham. (AP-SA-II : 2016)
Solution:
Using division alogaritham,
We have p(x) = q(x) × g(x) + r(x)
Example (1) : on dividing 12x2 + 8x + 24 by 3x2 + 2x + 6, we get
TS 10th Class Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Polynomials 45
Here p(x) = 12x2 + 8x + 24
g(x) = 3x2 + 2x + 6
g(x) = 4
r(x) = 0

Example – 2 : an dividing 3x3 + 6x2 + 18x by x2 + 2x + 6
TS 10th Class Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Polynomials 46
Here p(x) = 3x2 + 6x2 + 18x
g(x) = x2 + 2x + 6
g(x) = 3x
r(x) = 0

Question 19.
Verify that 4, -1, –\(\frac{1}{4}\) are the zeroes of the cubic polynomial 4x3 – 11x2 – 19x – 4 and check. (AP-SA-II: 2016)
Solution:
Given polynomial is 4x3 – 11x2 – 19x – 4
p(x) comparing the given polynomial with
ax3 + bx2 + cx + d, we get
a = 4, b = – 11, c = -19, d = – 4
Further p(4) = 4(4)3 – 11(4)2 – 19(4) – 4
= 4 × 64 – 11(16) – 19(4) – 4
= 256 – 176 – 76 – 4
= 256 – 256 = 0
p(-1) = 4(-1)3 – 11(-1)2 – 19(-1) – 4
= 4(-1) – 11(1) + 19-4
= -4 – 11 + 19 – 4
= -19 + 19 = 0
TS 10th Class Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Polynomials 47
TS 10th Class Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Polynomials 48
Therefore 4, -1, –\(\frac{1}{4}\) are the zeroes of
4x3 – 11x2 – 19x – 4.
We take α = 4, β = – 1 and γ = –\(\frac{1}{4}\)
now α + β + γ = 4 – 1 – \(\frac{1}{4}\) = 3 – \(\frac{1}{4}\) = \(\frac{11}{4}\)
= \(\frac{-(-11)}{4}\) = –\(\frac{b}{a}\)

TS 10th Class Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Polynomials 51
Scale : On X-axis :1 cm = 1 unit
On Y-axis :1 cm = 1 unit
Zeroes of the polynomial x2 + x – 6 are the x – coordinates of the points on the x – axis.
-3 and 2 are the zeroes of the given polynomial on graph.

Question 21.
If α, β are zeroes of the polynomial 2x2 + 7x + 5, find the value of α + β + αβ? (AP New SCERT Model Paper) Solution:
2x2 + 7x + 5
α + β = \(\frac{-b}{a}\) = \(\frac{-7}{2}\)
α.β = \(\frac{\mathrm{c}}{\mathrm{a}}\) = \(\frac{5}{2}\)
∴ α + β + α.β = \(\frac{-7}{2}\) + \(\frac{5}{2}\) = \(\frac{-2}{2}\) = -1

Question 22.
If a, b and c are the zeroes of a polynomial of degree 3, then give the relations between the zeroes and the coefficients of the polynomial. (AP New SCERT Model Paper)
Solution:
α + β + γ = \(\frac{-b}{a}\)
αβ + βγ + γα = \(\frac{c}{a}\)
αβγ = \(\frac{-d}{a}\)

Question 23.
Solve the quadratic polynomial x2 – 3x – 4 graphically. (AP New SCERT Model Paper)
Solution:
Let y = x2 – 3x – 4
TS 10th Class Maths Important Questions Chapter 3 Polynomials 52
o.p. = (-2, 6), (-1, 0), (0, -4), (1, -6), (2, -6) (3, -4), (4, 0), (5, 6)
Scale : On X-axis 1 cm = 1 unit
On Y-axis 1 cm = 1 unit
The graph of y = x2 – 3x – 4 intersects X-axis at (-1, 0) and (4, 0).
Hence the zeroes of p(x) are -1 and 4.
