Exercise 2.4

1. Determine which of the following polynomials has (x + 1) a factor:
(i) x3 + x2 + x + 1
(ii) x4 + x3 + x2 + x + 1
(iii) x4 + 3x3 + 3x2 + x + 1 
(iv) x3 - x2 - (2 + √2)x + √2

Answer

(i) If (x + 1) is a factor of p(x) = x3 + x2 + x + 1, p(-1) must be zero.
Here, p(x) = x3 + x2 + x + 1
p(-1) = (-1)3 + (-1)2 + (-1) + 1
= -1 + 1 - 1 + 1 = 0
Therefore, x + 1 is a factor of this polynomial

(ii) If (x + 1) is a factor of p(x) = x4 + x3 + x2 + x + 1, p(-1) must be zero.
Here, p(x) = x4 + x3 + x2 + x + 1
p(-1) = (-1)4 + (-1)3 + (-1)2 + (-1) + 1
= 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 = 1
As, p(-1) ≠ 0
Therefore, x + 1 is not a factor of this polynomial

(iii)If (x + 1) is a factor of polynomial p(x) = x4 + 3x3 + 3x2 + x + 1, p(- 1) must be 0.
p(-1) = (-1)4 + 3(-1)3 + 3(-1)2 + (-1) + 1
= 1 - 3 + 3 - 1 + 1 = 1
As, p(-1) ≠ 0
Therefore, x + 1 is not a factor of this polynomial.

(iv) If (x + 1) is a factor of polynomial
p(x) = x3 - x2 - (2 + √2)x + √2p(- 1) must be 0.
p(-1) =  (-1)3 -  (-1)2 -  (2 + √2) (-1) + √2
= -1 - 1 + 2 + √2 + √2
=2√2
As, p(-1) ≠ 0
Therefore,, x + 1 is not a factor of this polynomial.

2. Use the Factor Theorem to determine whether g(x) is a factor of p(x) in each of the following cases:
(i) p(x) = 2x3 + x2 - 2x - 1, g(x) = x + 1
(ii) p(x) = x3 + 3x2 + 3x + 1, g(x) = x + 2
(iii) p(x) = x3 - 4 x2 + x + 6, g(x) = x - 3

Answer

(i) If g(x) = x + 1 is a factor of given polynomial p(x), p(- 1) must be zero.
p(x) = 2x3 + x2 - 2x - 1
p(- 1) = 2(-1)3 + (-1)2 - 2(-1) - 1
= 2(- 1) + 1 + 2 - 1 = 0
Hence, g(x) = x + 1 is a factor of given polynomial.

(ii) If g(x) = x + 2 is a factor of given polynomial p(x), p(- 2) must be 0.
p(x) = x3 +3x2 + 3x + 1
p(-2) = (-2)3 + 3(- 2)2 + 3(- 2) + 1
= -8 + 12 - 6 + 1
= -1
As, p(-2) ≠ 0
Hence g(x) = x + 2 is not a factor of given polynomial.

(iii) If g(x) = x - 3 is a factor of given polynomial p(x), p(3) must be 0.
p(x) = x3 - 4x2 + x + 6
p(3) = (3)3 - 4(3)2 + 3 + 6
= 27 - 36 + 9 = 0
Therefore,, g(x) = x - 3 is a factor of given polynomial.

3. Find the value of k, if x - 1 is a factor of p(x) in each of the following cases:(i) p(x) = x2 + x + k
(ii) p(x) = 2x2 + kx +  √2
(iii) p(x) = kx2 - √2x + 1
(iv) p(x) = kx2 - 3x + k

Answer

(i) If x - 1 is a factor of polynomial p(x) = x2 + x + k, then
p(1) = 0
⇒ (1)2 + 1 + k = 0
⇒ 2 + k = 0
⇒ k = - 2
Therefore, value of k is -2.

(ii) If x - 1 is a factor of polynomial p(x) = 2x2 + kx +  √2, then
p(1) = 0
⇒ 2(1)2 + k(1) + √2 = 0
⇒ 2 + k + 2 = 0
⇒ k = -2 - √2 = -(2 + √2)
Therefore, value of k is -(2 + √2).

(iii) If x - 1 is a factor of polynomial p(x) = kx2 - √2x + 1, then
p(1) = 0
k(1)2 - √2(1) + 1 = 0
⇒ k - √2 + 1 = 0
⇒ k = √2 - 1
Therefore, value of k is √2 - 1.

(iv) If x - 1 is a factor of polynomial p(x) = kx2 - 3x + k, then
p(1) = 0
k(1)2 + 3(1) + k = 0
⇒ k - 3 + k = 0
⇒ 2k - 3 = 0
⇒ k = 3/2
Therefore, value of k is 3/2.

4. Factorise:
(i) 12x2 + 7x + 1
(ii) 2x2 + 7x + 3
(iii) 6x2 + 5x - 6
(iv) 3x2 - x - 4

Answer

(i) 12x2 + 7x + 1
= 12x2 - 4x - 3x+ 1                  
= 4x (3x - 1) - 1 (3x - 1)
= (3x - 1) (4x - 1)

(ii) 2x2 + 7x + 3
= 2x2 + 6x + + 3
= 2x (x + 3) + 1 (x + 3)
 (x + 3) (2+ 1)

(iii) 6x2 + 5x - 6
= 6x2 + 9x - 4x - 6
 = 3x (2x + 3) - 2 (2x + 3)
= (2x + 3) (3x - 2)

(iv) 3x2 - x - 4
= 3x2 - 4x + 3x - 4
= x (3x - 4) + 1 (3x - 4)
= (3x - 4) (x + 1)

5. Factorise:
(i) x3 - 2x2 - x + 2
(ii) x3 - 3x2 - 9x - 5
(iii) x3 + 13x2 + 32x + 20 
(iv) 2y3 + y2 - 2y - 1

Answer

(i) Let p(x) = x3 - 2x2 - x + 2
Factors of 2 are ±1 and ± 2
By trial method, we find that
p(1) = 0
So, (x+1) is factor of p(x)
Now,
p(x) = x3 - 2x2 - x + 2
p(-1) = (-1)3 - 2(-1)2 - (-1) + 2 = -1 -2 + 1 + 2 = 0
Therefore, (x+1) is the factor of  p(x)

 
Now, Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
(x+1) (x2 - 3x + 2)
= (x+1) (x2 - x - 2x + 2)
= (x+1) {x(x-1) -2(x-1)}
= (x+1) (x-1) (x+2)

(ii) Let p(x) = x3 - 3x2 - 9x - 5
Factors of 5 are ±1 and ±5
By trial method, we find that
p(5) = 0
So, (x-5) is factor of p(x)
Now,
p(x) = x3 - 2x2 - x + 2
p(5) = (5)3 - 3(5)2 - 9(5) - 5 = 125 - 75 - 45 - 5 = 0
Therefore, (x-5) is the factor of  p(x)

Now, Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
(x-5) (x2 + 2x + 1)
= (x-5) (x2 + x + x + 1)
= (x-5) {x(x+1) +1(x+1)}
= (x-5) (x+1) (x+1)

(iii) Let p(x) = x3 + 13x2 + 32x + 20
Factors of 20 are ±1, ±2, ±4, ±5, ±10 and ±20
By trial method, we find that
p(-1) = 0
So, (x+1) is factor of p(x)
Now,
p(x) =  x3 + 13x2 + 32x + 20
p(-1) = (-1)3 + 13(-1)2 + 32(-1) + 20 = -1 + 13 - 32 + 20 = 0
Therefore, (x+1) is the factor of  p(x)

 
Now, Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
(x+1) (x2 + 12x + 20)
= (x+1) (x2 + 2x + 10x + 20)
= (x-5) {x(x+2) +10(x+2)}
= (x-5) (x+2) (x+10)

(iv) Let p(y) = 2y3 + y2 - 2y - 1
Factors of ab = 2× (-1) = -2 are ±1 and ±2
By trial method, we find that
p(1) = 0
So, (y-1) is factor of p(y)
Now,
p(y) =  2y3 + y2 - 2y - 1
p(1) = 2(1)3 + (1)2 - 2(1) - 1 = 2 +1 - 2 - 1 = 0
Therefore, (y-1) is the factor of  p(y)

 
 Now, Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
(y-1) (2y2 + 3y + 1)
= (y-1) (2y2 + 2y + y + 1)
= (y-1) {2y(y+1) +1(y+1)}
= (y-1) (2y+1) (y+1)

1. Use suitable identities to find the following products:
    (i) (x + 4) (x + 10)                     (ii) (x + 8) (x – 10)                      (iii) (3x + 4) (3x – 5)
    (iv) (y+ 3/2) (y2 - 3/2)             (v) (3 - 2x) (3 + 2x)

Answer

(i) Using identity, (x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a + b) x + ab
In (x + 4) (x + 10), a = 4 and b = 10
Now,
(x + 4) (x + 10) = x2 + (4 + 10)x + (4 × 10)
                         = x2 + 14x + 40

(ii) (x + 8) (x – 10)
Using identity, (x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a + b) x + ab
Here, a = 8 and b = –10
(x + 8) (x – 10) = x2 + {8 +(– 10)}x + {8×(– 10)}
                         = x2 + (8 – 10)x – 80
                         = x2 – 2x – 80

(iii) (3x + 4) (3x – 5)
Using identity, (x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a + b) x + ab
Here, x = 3x , a = 4 and b = -5
(3x + 4) (3x – 5) = (3x) 2 + {4 + (-5)}3x + {4×(-5)}
                           = 9x2 + 3x(4 - 5) - 20
                           = 9x2 - 3x - 20

(iv) (y+ 3/2) (y2 - 3/2)
Using identity, (x + y) (x -y) = x2 - y2
Here, x = y2 and= 3/2
(y+ 3/2) (y2 - 3/2) = (y2)2 - (3/2)2
                                         = y4 - 9/4

(v) (3 - 2x) (3 + 2x)
Using identity, (x + y) (x -y) = x2 - y2
Here, x = 3 and= 2x
(3 - 2x) (3 + 2x) = 32 - (2x)2
                                   =  9 - 4x2

2. Evaluate the following products without multiplying directly:
    (i) 103 × 107               (ii) 95 × 96               (iii) 104 × 96


Answer

(i) 103 × 107 = (100 + 3) (100 + 7)
Using identity, (x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a + b) x + ab
Here, x = 100, a = 3 and b = 7
103 × 107 = (100 + 3) (100 + 7) = (100)2 + (3 + 7)10 + (3 × 7)
                 = 10000 + 100 + 21
                 = 10121

(ii) 95 × 96 = (90 + 5) (90 + 4)
Using identity, (x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a + b) x + ab
Here, x = 90, a = 5 and b = 4
95 × 96 = (90 + 5) (90 + 4) = 902 + 90(5 + 6) + (5 × 6)
             = 8100 + (11 × 90) + 30
             = 8100 + 990 + 30 = 9120

(iii) 104 × 96 = (100 + 4) (100 - 4)
Using identity, (x + y) (x -y) = x2 - y2
Here, x = 100 and y = 4
104 × 96 = (100 + 4) (100 - 4) = (100)2 - (4)= 10000 - 16 = 9984

   (i) 9x2 + 6xy + y2                 (ii) 4y2 - 4y + 1              (iii) x- y2/100

Answer

(i) 9x2 + 6xy + y= (3x) 2 + (2×3x×y) + y2
Using identity, (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
Here, a = 3x and b = y
9x2 + 6xy + y= (3x) 2 + (2×3x×y) + y2 = (3x + y)= (3x + y) (3x + y)

(ii) 4y2 - 4y + 1 = (2y)2 - (2×2y×1) + 12
Using identity, (a - b)2 = a2 - 2ab + b2
Here, a = 2y and b = 1
4y2 - 4y + 1 = (2y)2 - (2×2y×1) + 12 = (2y - 1)= (2y - 1) (2y - 1)

(iii) x- y2/100 = x- (y/10)2
Using identity, a2 - b2 = (a + b) (a - b)
Here, a = x and b = (y/10)
x- y2/100 = x- (y/10)2 = (x - y/10) (x + y/10)

Using identity, (a - b)3 = a3 - b3 - 3ab(a - b)
(100 - 1)= (100)3 - 13 - (3×100×1)(100 - 1)
= 1000000 - 1 - 300(100 - 1)
= 1000000 - 1 - 30000 + 300
= 970299

(ii) (102)3 = (100 + 2)3
Using identity, (a + b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab(a + b)
(100 + 2)= (100)3 + 23 + (3×100×2)(100 + 2)
= 1000000 + 8 + 600(100 + 2)
= 1000000 + 8 + 60000 + 1200
= 1061208

(iii) (998)3
Using identity, (a - b)3 = a3 - b3 - 3ab(a - b)
(1000 - 2)= (1000)3 - 23 - (3×1000×2)(1000 - 2)
= 100000000 - 8 - 6000(1000 - 2)
= 100000000 - 8- 600000 + 12000
= 994011992

= (2a)3 + b3 + 3(2a)2b + 3(2a)(b)2
= (2a + b)3
= (2a + b)(2a + b)(2a + b)

(ii) 8a3 - b3 - 12a2b + 6ab2
Using identity, (a - b)3 = a3 - b3 - 3a2b + 3ab2
8a3 - b3 - 12a2b + 6ab2= (2a)3 - b3 - 3(2a)2b + 3(2a)(b)2
= (2a - b)3
= (2a - b)(2a - b)(2a - b)

(iii) 27 - 125a3 - 135a + 225a2
Using identity, (a - b)3 = a3 - b3 - 3a2b + 3ab2
27 - 125a3 - 135a + 225a2= 33 - (5a)3 - 3(3)2(5a) + 3(3)(5a)2
= (3 - 5a)3
= (3 - 5a)(3 - 5a)(3 - 5a)

(iv) 64a3 - 27b3 - 144a2b + 108ab2
Using identity, (a - b)3 = a3 - b3 - 3a2b + 3ab2
64a3 - 27b3 - 144a2b + 108ab2= (4a)3 - (3b)3 - 3(4a)2(3b) + 3(4a)(3b)2
= (4a - 3b)3
= (4a - 3b)(4a - 3b)(4a - 3b)

(v) 27p3 - 1/216 - 9/2 p2 + 1/4 p

 Using identity, (a - b)3 = a3 - b3 - 3a2b + 3ab2
 27p3 - 1/216 - 9/2 p2 + 1/4 p
= (3p)3 - (1/6)3 - 3(3p)2(1/6) + 3(3p)(1/6)2
= (3p - 1/6)3
= (3p - 1/6)(3p - 1/6)(3p - 1/6)

9. Verify : (i) x3 + y3 = (x + y) (x2 - xy + y2)             (ii) x3 - y3 = (x - y) (x2 + xy + y2)

Answer

(i) x3 + y3 = (x + y) (x2 - xy + y2)
We know that,
(x + y)3 = x3 + y3 + 3xy(x + y)
⇒ x3 + y3 = (x + y)- 3xy(x + y)
⇒ x3 + y3 = (x + y)[(x + y)2 - 3xy]                  {Taking (x+y) common}
⇒ x3 + y3 = (x + y)[(x2 + y+ 2xy) - 3xy]
⇒ x3 + y3 = (x + y)(x2 + y2 - xy)

(ii) x3 - y3 = (x - y) (x2 + xy + y2 )
We know that,
(x - y)3 = x3 - y3 - 3xy(x - y)
⇒ x3 - y3 = (x - y)3 + 3xy(x - y)
⇒ x3 + y3 = (x - y)[(x - y)2 + 3xy]                     {Taking (x-y) common}
⇒ x3 + y3 = (x - y)[(x2 + y2 - 2xy) + 3xy]
⇒ x3 + y3 = (x + y)(x2 + y2 + xy)

10. Factorise each of the following:
      (i) 27y3 + 125z3                     (ii) 64m3 - 343n3

Answer

(i) 27y3 + 125z3
Using identity, x3 + y3 = (x + y) (x2 - xy + y2)
27y3 + 125z3 = (3y)3 + (5z)3
= (3y + 5z) {(3y)2 - (3y)(5z) + (5z)2}
= (3y + 5z) (9y2 - 15yz + 25z)2

(ii) 64m3 - 343n3
Using identity, x3 - y3 = (x - y) (x2 + xy + y2 )
64m3 - 343n3 = (4m)3 - (7n)3
= (4m + 7n) {(4m)2 + (4m)(7n) + (7n)2}
= (4m + 7n) (16m2 + 28mn + 49n)2

11. Factorise : 27x3 + y3 + z3 - 9xyz

Answer


27x3 + y3 + z3 - 9xyz = (3x)3 + y3 + z3 - 3×3xyz
Using identity, x3 + y3 + z3 - 3xyz = (x + y + z)(x2 + y2 + z2 - xy - yz - xz)
27x3 + y3 + z3 - 9xyz
= (3x + y + z) {(3x)2 + y2 + z2 - 3xy - yz - 3xz}
= (3x + y + z) (9x2 + y2 + z2 - 3xy - yz - 3xz)

12. Verify that: x3 + y3 + z3 - 3xyz = 1/2(x + y + z) [(x - y)+ (y - z)+ (z - x)2]

Answer

We know that,
x3 + y3 + z3 - 3xyz = (x + y + z)(x2 + y2 + z2 - xy - yz - xz)
x3 + y3 + z3 - 3xyz = 1/2×(x + y + z) 2(x2 + y2 + z2 - xy - yz - xz)
= 1/2(x + y + z) (2x2 + 2y2 + 2z2 - 2xy - 2yz - 2xz)
= 1/2(x + y + z) [(x2 + y2 -2xy) + (y+ z2 - 2yz) + (x2 + z2 - 2xz)]
= 1/2(x + y + z) [(x - y)+ (y - z)+ (z - x)2]

13. If x + y + z = 0, show that x3 + y3 + z3 = 3xyz.

Answer

We know that,
x3 + y3 + z3 - 3xyz = (x + y + z)(x2 + y2 + z2 - xy - yz - xz)
Now put (x + y + z) = 0, 
x3 + y3 + z3 - 3xyz = (0)(x2 + y2 + z2 - xy - yz - xz) 
x3 + y3 + z3 - 3xyz = 0


14. Without actually calculating the cubes, find the value of each of the following:
     (i) (-12)3 + (7)3 + (5)3
     (ii) (28)3 + (–15)3 + (-13)3

Answer

(i) (-12)3 + (7)3 + (5)3
 Let x = -12, y = 7 and z = 5
We observed that, x + y + z = -12 + 7 + 5 = 0

We know that if,
x + y + z = 0, then x3 + y3 + z3 = 3xyz
(-12)3 + (7)3 + (5)3 = 3(-12)(7)(5) = -1260

(ii) (28)3 + (–15)3 + (-13)3
 Let x = 28, y = -15 and z = -13
We observed that, x + y + z = 28 - 15 - 13 = 0

We know that if,
x + y + z = 0, then x3 + y3 + z3 = 3xyz
(28)3 + (–15)3 + (-13)3 = 3(28)(-15)(-13) = 16380

15. Give possible expressions for the length and breadth of each of the following rectangles, in which their areas are given: 
(i) Area : 25a2 - 35a + 12
(ii) Area : 35 y2 + 13y - 12

Answer


(i) Area : 25a2 - 35a + 12

Since, area is product of length and breadth therefore by factorizing the given area, we can know the length and breadth of rectangle.
25a2 - 35a + 12
= 25a2 - 15a -20a + 12
= 5a(5a - 3) - 4(5a - 3)
= (5a - 4)(5a - 3)
Possible expression for length = 5a - 4
Possible expression for breadth = 5a - 3

(ii) Area : 35 y2 + 13y - 12
35 y2 + 13y - 12
= 35y2 - 15y + 28y - 12
= 5y(7y - 3) + 4(7y - 3)
= (5y + 4)(7y - 3)
Possible expression for length = (5y + 4)
Possible expression for breadth = (7y - 3)

16. What are the possible expressions for the dimensions of the cuboids whose volumes are given below? (i) Volume : 3x2 - 12x
(ii) Volume : 12ky2 + 8ky - 20k

Answer

(i) Volume : 3x2 - 12x
Since, volume is product of length, breadth and height therefore by factorizing the given volume, we can know the length, breadth and height of the cuboid.
3x2 - 12x
= 3x(x - 4)
Possible expression for length = 3
Possible expression for breadth = x
Possible expression for height = (x - 4)

(ii) Volume : 12ky2 + 8ky - 20k
Since, volume is product of length, breadth and height therefore by factorizing the given volume, we can know the length, breadth and height of the cuboid.
12ky2 + 8ky - 20k
= 4k(3y2 + 2y - 5)
= 4k(3y2 +5y - 3y - 5)
= 4k[y(3y +5) - 1(3y + 5)]
= 4k (3y +5) (y - 1)
Possible expression for length = 4k
Possible expression for breadth = (3y +5)
Possible expression for height = (y - 1)
