Q.1. Assertion : 3x2 + x – 1 = (x + 1) (3x – 2) + 1.
Reason : To factorise ax2Â + bx + c, write b as sumof two numbers whose product is ac.
Answer
Answer: (a)Q.2. Assertion : The value of 593 × 607 is 359951.
Reason : (a + b) (a – b) = a2 – b2
Answer
Answer: (a)Q.3. Assertion : The degree of the polynomial(x2 – 2)(x – 3)(x + 4) is 3.
Reason : A polynomial of degree 3 is called a cubic polynomial.
Answer
Answer: (d)Q.4. Assertion : The expression 3x4 – 4x3/2 + x2 = 2is not a polynomial because the term – 4x3/2 contains a rational power of x.
Reason : The highest exponent in various terms of an algebraic expression in one variable is called its degree.
Answer
Answer: (b)Q.5.. Assertion : If 2x2 – 32 is the volume of a cuboid, then length of cuboid can be x – 8.
Reason : Volume of a cuboid = l × b × h.
Answer
Answer: (d)Q.6. Assertion : –7 is a constant polynomial.
Reason : Degree of a constant polynomial is zero.
Answer
Answer: (a)Questions for practice:
Directions:
(a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
(b) Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
(c) Assertion is true but reason is false.
(d) Assertion is false but reason is true
1. Assertion : If f(x) = 3x7 – 4x6 + x + 9 is a polynomial, then its degree is 7.
Reason : Degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in it.
Answer
Answer:2. Assertion : (x + 2) and (x – 1) are factors of the polynomial x4 + x3 + 2x2 + 4x – 8.
Reason : For a polynomial p(x) of degree ≥ 1, x – a is a factor of the polynomial p(x) if and only if p(a) ≥1 .
Answer
Answer:3. Assertion : 3x2 + x – 1 = (x + 1)(3x – 2x) + 1.
Reason : If p(x) and g(x) are two polynomials such that degree of p(x) ≥ degree of g(x) and g(x) ≥ 0 then we can find polynomials q(x) and r(x) such that p(x) = g(x) q(x) + r(x) , where r(x) = 0 of degree of r(x) <degree of g(x).
Answer
Answer:4. Assertion : (x + 2) is a factor of x3 + 3x2 + 5x + 6 . and of 2x + 4
Reason : If p(x)be a polynomial of degree greater than or equal to one, then (x – a) is a factor of p(x), if p(a) = 0
Answer
Answer:5. Assertion : The remainder when p(x) = x3 – 6x2 + 2x – 4 is divided by (3x – 1) is – 107/27.
Reason : If a polynomial p(x) is divided by ax –b , the remainder is the value of p(x) at x = b/a.
Answer
Answer:6. Assertion : If (x + 1) is a factor of f(x) = x2 + ax + 2 then a = – 3 .
Reason : If (x – a ) is a factor of p(x), if p(a) = 0.
Answer
Answer:7. Assertion : If f(x) = x4 + x3 – 2x2 + x + 1 is divided by (x – 1) , then its remainder is 2.
Reason : If p(x) be a polynomial of degree greater than or equal to one, divided by the linear polynomial x – a , then the remainder is p(- a ) .
Answer
Answer:8. Assertion : The degree of the polynomial (x – 2 )(x – 3 )(x + 4) is 4.
Reason : The number of zeroes of a polynomial is the degree of that polynomial.
Answer
Answer:9. Assertion : If p(x) = ax + b , a≠0 is a linear polynomial, then x = – b/a is the only zero of p(x).
Reason : A linear polynomial has one and only one zero.
