1. Determine which of the following polynomials has (x + 1) a factor:
(i) x3+x2+x+1
Solution:
Let p(x) = x3+x2+x+1
The zero of x+1 is -1. [x+1 = 0 means x = -1]
p(−1) = (−1)3+(−1)2+(−1)+1
= −1+1−1+1
= 0
∴By factor theorem, x+1 is a factor of x3+x2+x+1
(ii) x4+x3+x2+x+1
Solution:
Let p(x)= x4+x3+x2+x+1
The zero of x+1 is -1. . [x+1= 0 means x = -1]
p(−1) = (−1)4+(−1)3+(−1)2+(−1)+1
= 1−1+1−1+1
= 1 ≠ 0
∴By factor theorem, x+1 is not a factor of x4 + x3 + x2 + x + 1
(iii) x4+3x3+3x2+x+1
Solution:
Let p(x)= x4+3x3+3x2+x+1
The zero of x+1 is -1.
p(−1)=(−1)4+3(−1)3+3(−1)2+(−1)+1
=1−3+3−1+1
=1 ≠ 0
∴By factor theorem, x+1 is not a factor of x4+3x3+3x2+x+1
(iv) x3 – x2– (2+√2)x +√2
Solution:
Let p(x) = x3–x2–(2+√2)x +√2
The zero of x+1 is -1.
p(−1) = (-1)3–(-1)2–(2+√2)(-1) + √2 = −1−1+2+√2+√2
= 2√2 ≠ 0
∴By factor theorem, x+1 is not a factor of x3–x2–(2+√2)x +√2
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
Solution:
p(x) = 2x3+x2–2x–1, g(x) = x+1
g(x) = 0
⇒ x+1 = 0
⇒ x = −1
∴Zero of g(x) is -1.
Now,
p(−1) = 2(−1)3+(−1)2–2(−1)–1
= −2+1+2−1
= 0
∴By factor theorem, g(x) is a factor of p(x).
(ii) p(x)=x3+3x2+3x+1, g(x) = x+2
Solution:
p(x) = x3+3x2+3x+1, g(x) = x+2
g(x) = 0
⇒ x+2 = 0
⇒ x = −2
∴ Zero of g(x) is -2.
Now,
p(−2) = (−2)3+3(−2)2+3(−2)+1
= −8+12−6+1
= −1 ≠ 0
∴By factor theorem, g(x) is not a factor of p(x).
(iii) p(x)=x3–4x2+x+6, g(x) = x–3
Solution:
p(x) = x3–4x2+x+6, g(x) = x -3
g(x) = 0
⇒ x−3 = 0
⇒ x = 3
∴ Zero of g(x) is 3.
Now,
p(3) = (3)3−4(3)2+(3)+6
= 27−36+3+6
= 0
∴By factor theorem, g(x) is a factor of p(x).
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
Solution:
If x-1 is a factor of p(x), then p(1) = 0
By Factor Theorem
⇒ (1)2+(1)+k = 0
⇒ 1+1+k = 0
⇒ 2+k = 0
⇒ k = −2
(ii) p(x) = 2x2+kx+√2
Solution:
If x-1 is a factor of p(x), then p(1)=0
⇒ 2(1)2+k(1)+√2 = 0
⇒ 2+k+√2 = 0
⇒ k = −(2+√2)
(iii) p(x) = kx2–√2x+1
Solution:
If x-1 is a factor of p(x), then p(1)=0
By Factor Theorem
⇒ k(1)2-√2(1)+1=0
⇒ k = √2-1
(iv) p(x)=kx2–3x+k
Solution:
If x-1 is a factor of p(x), then p(1) = 0
By Factor Theorem
⇒ k(1)2–3(1)+k = 0
⇒ k−3+k = 0
⇒ 2k−3 = 0
⇒ k= 3/2
4. Factorize:
(i) 12x2–7x+1
Solution:
Using the splitting the middle term method,
We have to find a number whose sum = -7 and product =1×12 = 12
We get -3 and -4 as the numbers [-3+-4=-7 and -3×-4 = 12]
12x2–7x+1= 12x2-4x-3x+1
= 4x(3x-1)-1(3x-1)
= (4x-1)(3x-1)
(ii) 2x2+7x+3
Solution:
Using the splitting the middle term method,
We have to find a number whose sum = 7 and product = 2×3 = 6
We get 6 and 1 as the numbers [6+1 = 7 and 6×1 = 6]
2x2+7x+3 = 2x2+6x+1x+3
= 2x (x+3)+1(x+3)
= (2x+1)(x+3)
(iii) 6x2+5x-6
Solution:
Using the splitting the middle term method,
We have to find a number whose sum = 5 and product = 6×-6 = -36
We get -4 and 9 as the numbers [-4+9 = 5 and -4×9 = -36]
6x2+5x-6 = 6x2+9x–4x–6
= 3x(2x+3)–2(2x+3)
= (2x+3)(3x–2)
(iv) 3x2–x–4
Solution:
Using the splitting the middle term method,
We have to find a number whose sum = -1 and product = 3×-4 = -12
We get -4 and 3 as the numbers [-4+3 = -1 and -4×3 = -12]
3x2–x–4 = 3x2–4x+3x–4
= x(3x–4)+1(3x–4)
= (3x–4)(x+1)
5. Factorize:
(i) x3–2x2–x+2
Solution:
Let p(x) = x3–2x2–x+2
Factors of 2 are ±1 and ± 2
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) x3–3x2–9x–5
Solution:
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) = x3–3x2–9x–5
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) x3+13x2+32x+20
Solution:
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+1)x(x+2)+10(x+2)
= (x+1)(x+2)(x+10)
(iv) 2y3+y2–2y–1
Solution:
Let p(y) = 2y3+y2–2y–1
Factors = 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
= 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)
