(i) Given ,
First polynomial = t2-3
Second polynomial = 2t4 +3t3-2t2 -9t-12
As we can see the remainder is 0. Thereofre we can say that first polynomial is a factor of second polynomial.

Q:
Given ,
Dividend p(x) = x3 - 3x2 + x + 2
Quotient = x – 2
Remainder = -2x + 4
Let divisor = g(x)
As we know ,
Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
x3- 3x2 +x+ 2 = g(x) × (x – 2) + (-2x + 4)
x 3- 3x2 + x + 2 – (-2x + 4) = g(x) × (x – 2 )
Therefore, g(x) × (x – 2 ) = x3 – x2 + x + 2
Now we will divide p(x) by quotient x – 2 to find divisor g(x)
Therefore , g(x) = ( x2 – x + 1 )
we know that
(i) Deg P(x) = deg g (x)
The degree of dividend or quotient can be equal, only if the divisor is a constant (degree 0)
Then, let p(x) = 3x2 – 6x + 5
Let g(x) = 3
Therefore, q(x) = x2 – 2x +1 and r(x) = 2
(ii) Deg q(x) = deg r(x)
Let p(x) = x2 + 1
Let g(x) = x
Therefore, q(x) = x + 1 and r(x) = 0
Here, we can see the degree of quotient is equal to the degree of remainder.
Hence, division algorithm is satisfied here.
(iii) deg r(x) = 0
The degree of remainder is zero, only if the remainder left after division algorithm is Constant.
Let p(x) = x2 + 1
Let g(x) = x
Therefore, q(x)= x and r(x) = 1
Here we can see the degree of remainder is zero.
Hence division algorithm is satisfied here.
(i) Here f(x) = 2x³ + x² - 5x + 2
Given roots of f(x) are ½, 1, -2
F(1/2) = 2×(1/2)³ + (1/2)² - 5(1/2 ) + 2 = 0
F(1) = 2(1)³ + 1² - 5(1) + 2 = 0
F(-2) = 2(-2)³ + (-2)² - 5(-2) + 2 = 0
Hence, ½, 1 and -2 are the zeroes of f(x).
Therefore, sum of zeroes = -b/a -1/2
Sum of product of zeroes taken two at a time = c/a = -5/2
Product of zeroes = -d/a = 2
(ii) Let the f(x) = ax³ + bx² + c + d
Let α, β and γ be the zeroes of the polynomial f(x).
Then, sum of zeroes = -b/a = 2/1 ………………(i)
Sum of product of zeroes taken two at a time = c/a = -7. ………………..(ii)
Product of zeroes = -d/a = -14 ……………….(iii)
From equation (i), (ii) and (iii) we have
a = 1 , b = -2 , c = -7 and d = 14
Therefore the required polynomial on putting the values of a, b, c and d
F(x) = x³ - 2x² - 7x + 14
Let the p(x) = ax3+bx2+ cx + d
Sum of zeroes and α, β and γ be the zeroes.
Then, α, β and γ = -b/ a = 2/1 …………………..(i)
αβ + βγ + γα= c/a = -7 …………………….(ii)
‘ αβγ = -d /a = -14 ……………………………..(iii)
From equation (i), (ii) and (iii), we get
a = 1, b = -2, c = -7 and d = 14
Therefore, the required polynomial on putting the value of a, b, c and d is P(x) = x3 - 2x2 – 7x + 14
Given, p(x) = x3 - 3x2 + x + 1
And zeroes are given as a – b, a, a + b
Now, comparing the given polynomial with general expression, we get;
∴ ax3+bx2+ cx + d = x3 – 3x2+ x + 1
a = 1, b = -3, c = 1 and d = 1
Sum of zeroes = a – b + a + a + b
-b/a = 3a
Putting the values b and a
- (-3)/1 = 3a
a = 1
Thus, the zeroes are 1 - b, 1, 1 + b.
Now, product of zeroes = 1(1 – b) (1 + b)
d/a = 1 - b2
-1/1 = 1- b2
b2 = 1 + 1 = 2
b = √2
Hence, 1, -√2, 1, 1 + √2 are the zeroes of x3 – 3x2 + x + 1
Q:
Given,
Divisor = x2 – 2x + k
Dividend = x4 – 6x3 + 16x2 – 25x + 10
Remainder = x + a
As we know that,
Dividend = divisor quotient + remainder
x4 – 6x3 + 16x2 – 25x + 10 = x2 – 2x + k quotient + (x + a)
x4 – 6x3 + 16x2 – 25x + 10 – (x + a) = x2 – 2x + k quotient
x4 – 6x3 + 16x2 – 26x + 10 – a = quotient
x2 – 2x + k
If the polynomial x4 – 6x3 + 16x2 – 26x + 10 – a is divided by x2 – 2x + k remainder comes out to be zero.
Therefore, By equating the remainder with zero, we have
(-10 + 2k) = 0 => 2k = 10 => k = 5
Or, 10 – a – 8k + k2 = 0
Putting the value of k, we get
10 – a – 8(5) + (5)2 = 0
10 – a – 40 + 25 = 0
- a – 5 = 0 => a = -5
Hence, k = 5 and a = -5
