1)  

  If a polynomial p(x) is divided by (ax+b), then the remainder is





Answer: 4

 

SOLUTION 1 :

Ans =  p(-ba)       



2)  

 The roots of the polynomial equation x2 +2x = 0 are 





Answer: 3



SOLUTION 1 :
Hint: [ [x2 +2x = 0   ⇒ x(x+2)=0   ⇒ x = 0 (or)  x + 2 = 0   ⇒ x=0  (or) x = -2   ⇒ x = 0,-2]
 
Ans =  x = 0, -2
 


3)  

 The polynomial 3x-2 is a





Answer: 3

 

SOLUTION 1 :
Hint: [ The degree of 3x-2 is 1, It is a linear polynomial]
 
Ans = linear polynomial


4)  

  If the polynomial x3 –ax2+2x-a is divided (x-a), then remainder is

(1)⇒ a  
(2)⇒(a2)
(3) ⇒(a3)
(4) ⇒(-a)
 




Answer: 3


SOLUTION 1 :
Hint:[ [ p(x) = x3 – ax+ 2x- a ⇒ The zero of  x - a is a 
p(a) = a3-a(a)2+2(a)-a   ⇒  a3 - a3 + 2a - a = 2 ]
 
Ans = a


5)  

 One of the factors of x-2x+2x -1 is





Answer: 4


SOLUTION 1 :
Hint:[ (x-2x+ 2x -1 = x-x-x2 + x + x -1 = x2(x-1) – x(x-1) + 1(x-1) = (x-1) (x-x + 1) ]
 
Ans = x - 1


6)  

 The degree of the polynomial 4x-7x+ 6x + 1 is





Answer: 4

 

SOLUTION 1 :
Hint: [The term having the highest degree is -7x3, The degree is 3]
 
Ans =3


7)  

 The root of the polynomial equation 3x-1 = 0 is





Answer: 3


SOLUTION 1 :

Hint: [3x -1 = 0 ⇒ 3x = 1 ⇒ x = 13 ]

Ans = x = 13   



8)  

  If ( ax- b) is a factor of p(x), then





Answer: 2

 
    

SOLUTION 1 :
Hint: [ ax-b is a factor of p(x)  ⇒ The zero of ax-b is (ba) ⇒ p (ba) =0]
 
Ans = p (ba) =0     

 



9)  

  The polynomial 4x2+2x-2 is a





Answer: 4


SOLUTION 1 :
Hint: [ The degree of 4x2+2x-2 is 2, It is a quadratic polynomial]
 
Ans = quadratic polynomial


10)  

 One of the factors of x- 3x -10 is





Answer: 2


SOLUTION 1 :

 Hint : [ x2- 3x -10 = x2  -5x + 2x -10    ⇒ x(x-5) + 2(x-5) 

 The factor of x-3x -10 are (x-5) and (x+2) ]
 
Ans = x - 5
