1.
Since x + y + z = 0
∴ x + y = -z
or (x + y)3 = (-z)3
or x3 + y3 + 3xy(x + y) = -z3
or x3 + y3 + 3xy(-z) = -z3 [∵ x + y = (-z)]
or x3 + y3 - 3xyz = -z3
or (x3 + y3 + z3) - 3xyz = 0
or (x3 + y3 + z3) = 3xyz
Hence, if x + y + z = 0, then (x3 + y3 + z3) = 3xyz.
2.

=(90)2+(5+6)(90)+(5)(6) | Using Identity IV

If x-1 is a factor of p(x), then p(1)=0 | By factor Theorem
\(\Rightarrow \ k{ (1) }^{ 2 }-\sqrt { 2 } (1)+1=0\)
\(\Rightarrow k-\sqrt { 2 } +1=0\)
\(\Rightarrow k=\sqrt { 2 } -1.\)
17.
\(p(x)={ x }^{ 2 }+x+k\)
If x-1 is a factor of p(x), then p(1)=0 | By factor Theorem
\(\Rightarrow \ { (1) }^{ 2 }+(1)+k=0\)
\(\Rightarrow 1+1+k=0\)
\(\Rightarrow 1+1+k=0\)
\(\Rightarrow k=-2\)
18.
\(x^4+3x^3+3x^2+x+1\)
Let \(p(x)=\)\(x^4+3x^3+3x^2+x+1\)
The zero of x+1 is -1.
\(p(-1)=(-1)^4+3(-1)^3+(3-1)^2+(-1)+1\)
\(\\ =1-3+3-1+1=1\neq 0\)
\(\therefore\) By factors theorem, x+1 is not a factor of \(x^4+3x^3+3x^2+x+1\)
19.

Let f (x) = 5x - 4x2 + 3
Value of f(x) at x = 2
= f(2) = 5(2) - 4(2)2 + 3
= 10 - 16 + 3 = -3
21.
Let f (x) = 5x - 4x2 + 3
Value of f(x) at x = 0
= f (0) = 5 (0) - 4 (0)2 + 3 = 3
22.
We have 4x2 + y2 + z2 – 4xy – 2yz + 4xz = (2x)2 + (–y)2 + (z)2 + 2(2x)(–y) + 2(–y)(z) + 2(2x)(z)
= [2x + (–y) + z]2 (Using Identity V)
= (2x – y + z)2 = (2x – y + z)(2x – y + z)
So far, we have dealt with identities involving second degree terms. Now let us extend Identity I to compute (x + y)3. We have:
(x + y)3 = (x + y) (x + y)2
= (x + y)(x2 + 2xy + y2)
= x(x2 + 2xy + y2) + y(x2 + 2xy + y2)
= x3 + 2x2y + xy2 + x2y + 2xy2 + y3
= x3 + 3x2y + 3xy2 + y3
= x3 + y3 + 3xy(x + y)
23.
(i) We know that
(x + y)3 = x3 + y3 + 3xy(x + y)
| Using Identity VI
⇒ x3 + y3 = (x + y)3 - 3xy(x + y)
⇒ x3 + y3 = (x + y){(x + y)2 - 3xy)
⇒ x3 + y3 = (x + y)(x2 + 2xy + y2 - 3xy)
| Using Identity I
⇒ x3 + y3 = (x + y)(x2 - xy + y2)
(ii) We know that
(x - y)3 = x3 - y3 - 3xy(x - y)
| Using Identity VII
⇒ x3 - y3 = (x - y)3 + 3xy(x - y)
x3 - y3 = (x - y){(x - y)2 + 3xy}
⇒ x3 - y3 = (x - y)(x2 - 2xy + y2 + 3ry)
| Using Identity IV
⇒ x3 - y3 = (x - y)(x2 + xy + y2).
24.
(i) We have, 12x2 - 7x + 1
= 12x2 - (3 + 4)x + 1 [by splitting the middle term]
= 12x2 - 3x - 4x + 1= 3x(4x - 1) - 1(4x - 1)
= (4x - 1)(3x - 1)
(ii) (x + 3)(2x + 1)
(iii) (3x - 2)(2x + 3)
(iv) (x + 1)(3x - 4)
25.
Using Identity V, we have
(4a – 2b – 3c)2 = [4a + (–2b) + (–3c)]2
= (4a)2 + (–2b)2 + (–3c)2 + 2(4a)(–2b) + 2(–2b)(–3c) + 2(–3c)(4a)
= 16a2 + 4b2 + 9c2 – 16ab + 12bc – 24ac
26.
(i) We have
(104)3 = (100 + 4)3
= (100)3 + (4)3 + 3(100)(4)(100 + 4)
(Using Identity VI)
= 1000000 + 64 + 124800
= 1124864
(ii) We have
(999)3 = (1000 – 1)3
= (1000)3 – (1)3 – 3(1000)(1)(1000 – 1)
(Using Identity VII)
= 1000000000 – 1 – 2997000
= 997002999
27.
(By splitting method) : If we can find two numbers p and q such that p + q = 17 and pq = 6 x 5 = 30, then we can get the factors.
So, let us look for the pairs of factors of 30. Some are 1 and 30, 2 and 15, 3 and 10, 5 and 6. Of these pairs, 2 and 15 will give us p + q = 17.
So, 6x2 + 17x + 5 = 6x2 + (2 + 15)x + 5
= 6x2 + 2x + 15x + 5
= 2x(3x + 1) + 5(3x + 1)
= (3x + 1) (2x + 5)
28.
As x – 1 is a factor of p(x) = 4x3 + 3x2 – 4x + k, p(1) = 0
Now, p(1) = 4(1)3 + 3(1)2 – 4(1) + k
So, 4 + 3 – 4 + k = 0
i.e., k = –3
29.
Here, p(x) = x4 + x3 – 2x2 + x + 1, and the zero of x – 1 is 1.
So, p(1) = (1)4 + (1)3 – 2(1)2 + 1 + 1
= 2
30.
Let p(x) = x2 – 2x
Then p(2) = 22 – 4 = 4 – 4 = 0
and p(0) = 0 – 0 = 0
Hence, 2 and 0 are both zeroes of the polynomial x2 – 2x.
