Question 61.


Which of the following is not a polynomial?


  1.     x+x2
  2.     x+3
  3.     3y+y2
  4.     x
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 3y+y2
:
C

All the variables of a polynomial should have whole numbers as exponents.
For x+x2,the exponents of the variable x are 1 and 2. All the exponents are whole numbers. Therefore, it is a polynomial.
In the expression 3y+y2,exponent of 3y is 13, but 13 is not a whole number. Hence, 3y+y2 is not a polynomial. 
For x+3,the exponent of the variable is 1 which is a whole number. Therefore, it is a polynomial.
For x, the exponent of the variable is 1 which is a whole number. Therefore, it is a polynomial.


Question 62.


The zero of p(x) = 5x - 75 is 


___
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 3y+y2
:

To find the zeros of a polynomial expression, we must equate it to zero.
5x75=0
x=755
x=15


Question 63.


If p(x)=x233x+1, then the value of p(33) is 0.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     3y+y2
  4.     x
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Given,p(x)=x233x+1x=33
p(33)=(33)233(33)+1p(33)=2727+1p(33)=0+1=1
Thus, the given statement is false.
Question 64.


Which of the following is a factor of
(x+y)3(x3+y3)?


  1.     x22xy+y2
  2.     xy2
  3.     3xy
  4.     x2+xy+y2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 3xy
:
C

Let P(x)=(x+y)(x+y)2(x+y)(x2xy+y2)
=(x+y)(x2+2xy+y2)(x+y)(x2xy+y2)
=(x+y)(x2+2xy+y2x2+xyy2)
[Taking (x+y) as common]
=(x+y)(3xy)
Hence, from the given options 3xy is a factor of the given polynomial.


Question 65.


What is the remainder when 3x27x+5 is divided by (x1) ?


  1.     0
  2.     1
  3.     2
  4.     3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1
:
B

Given f(x)3x27x+5 
To find the remainder when it is divided by (x1), we use remainder theorem.


Remainder of f(x)(xa) is f(a).


f(1)=37+5=1
The remainder when 3x27x+5 is divided by (x1) is 1.


Question 66.


What is the coefficient of z in (z5)3?


  1.     125
  2.     -25
  3.     5
  4.     75
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 75
:
D

(z5)3=z3533×z2×5+3×z×52
[Using (ab)3=a3b33a2b+3ab2]
(z5)3 = z312515z2+75z
Hence, the coefficient of z is 75.


Question 67.


Which of the following are polynomials?


  1.     y3+4y
  2.     2x1
  3.     x+1x1
  4.     z3+z
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 2x1
:
B and D

The exponents of the variables of a polynomial should be a whole number.
In y3+4y=y3+4y1, the exponent of y in  (4y1) is -1 which is not a whole number.
In 2x1, the exponent of  x is a whole number.
In x+1x1=(x+1)×(x1)1, the exponent of x in (x+1)1 is not a whole number.
In z3+z, the exponents of z in both the terms is a whole number exponent.
Hence,  z3+z and 2x1 are polynomials .


Question 68.


Which of the following is a zero of (49x21)+(1+7x)2 ?


  1.     17
  2.     1
  3.     17
  4.     1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 17
:
A

Given,(49x21)+(1+7x)2=((7x)212)+(1+7x)2=(7x1)(7x+1)+(1+7x)(1+7x)=(1+7x)(7x1+1+7x)[Taking (1+7x) common]=(1+7x)(14x)
To find the zeroes of a polynomial expression, we must equate it to zero.(1+7x)(14x)=0(1+7x)=0;  (14x)=0x=17,0Zeroes are 17 & 0.


Question 69.


A polynomial y=f(x) when represented on graph cuts xaxis at 2 points and yaxis at 3 points. What is the number of zeroes of f(x) ?


  1.     0
  2.     3
  3.     5
  4.     2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 2
:
D
The zeroes of a polynomial are the points which cuts the xaxis  on the graph. As f(x) cuts xaxis at 2 points, the number of zeroes are 2.
Question 70.


Zeroes of x256x+108 are______.


  1.     both positive
  2.     both negative
  3.     one negative and one positive
  4.     both equal
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> both positive
:
A

In a quadratic equation ax2+bx+c,both zeroes are positive when a is positive, b is negative and c is positive.
In this case, x256x+108 can be factorized as (x2)(x54).
the roots are 2 and  54; both are positive.
