vi. In ∆PQR, PQ = \(\sqrt { 8 }\), QR = \(\sqrt { 5 }\), PR = \(\sqrt { 3 }\) . Is ∆PQR a right angled triangle? If yes, which angle is of 90°?
Solution:
i. Let ∆ABC be the given equilateral triangle.

∴ ∠B = 60° [Angle of an equilateral triangle]
Let AD ⊥BC, B – D – C.
In ∆ABD, ∠B = 60°, ∠ADB = 90°
∴ ∠BAD = 30° [Remaining angle of a triangle]
∴ ∆ABD is a 30° – 60° – 90° triangle.
∴ AD = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) AB [Side opposite to 60°]
= \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) × 2a
= a\(\sqrt { 3 }\) units
The height of the equilateral triangle is a\(\sqrt { 3 }\) units.

ii. The sides of the triangle are 7 cm, 24 cm and 25 cm.
The longest side of the triangle is 25 cm.
∴ (25)² = 625
Now, sum of the squares of the remaining sides is,
(7)² + (24)² = 49 + 576
= 625
∴ (25)² = (7)² + (24)²
∴ Square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the remaining two sides.
∴ The given sides will form a right angled triangle. [Converse of Pythagoras theorem]

iii. Let ꠸ABCD be the given rectangle.
AB = 11 cm, BC = 60 cm

In ∆ABC, ∠B = 90° [Angle of a rectangle]
∴ AC² = AB² + BC² [Pythagoras theorem]
= 112 + 602
= 121 +3600
= 3721
∴ AC = \(\sqrt { 3721 }\) [Taking square root of both sides]
= 61 cm
The length of the diagonal of the rectangle is 61 cm.
∴ The length of the diagonal of the rectangle is 61 cm.

iv. Let ∆PQR be the given right angled triangle.
In ∆PQR, ∠Q = 90°

∴ PR² = PQ² + QR² [Pythagoras theorem]
= 9² + 12²
= 81 + 144
= 225
∴ PR = \(\sqrt { 225 }\) [Taking square root of both sides]
= 15 cm
∴ The length of the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle is 15 cm.

v. Let ∆PQR be the given right angled isosceles triangle.
PQ = QR = x.

In ∆PQR, ∠Q = 90° [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ PR² = PQ² + QR²
= x² + x²
= 2x²
∴ PR = \(\sqrt{2 x^{2}}\) [Taking square root of both sides]
= x \(\sqrt { 2 }\) units
∴ The hypotenuse of the right angled isosceles triangle is x \(\sqrt { 2 }\) units.
∴ The hypotenuse of the right angled isosceles triangle is x \(\sqrt { 2 }\) units.

vi. Longest side of ∆PQR = PQ = \(\sqrt { 8 }\)
∴ PQ² = (\(\sqrt { 8 }\))² = 8
Now, sum of the squares of the remaining sides is,

QR² + PR² = (\(\sqrt { 5 }\))² + (\(\sqrt { 3 }\))²
= 5 + 3
= 8
∴ PQ² = QR² + PR²
∴ Square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the remaining two sides.
∴ ∆PQR is a right angled triangle. [Converse of Pythagoras theorem]
Now, PQ is the hypotenuse.
∴∠PRQ = 90° [Angle opposite to hypotenuse]
∴ ∆PQR is a right angled triangle in which ∠PRQ is of 90°.

Question 3.
In ∆RST, ∠S = 90°, ∠T = 30°, RT = 12 cm, then find RS and ST.
Solution:
in ∆RST, ∠S = 900, ∠T = 30° [Given]
∴ ∠R = 60° [Remaining angle of a triangle]
∴ ∆RST is a 30° – 60° – 90° triangle.

∴ RS = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) RT [Side opposite to 30°]
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) × 12 = 6cm
Also, ST = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) RT [Side opposite to 60°]
= \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) × 12 = 6 \(\sqrt { 3 }\) cm
∴ RS = 6 cm and ST = 6 \(\sqrt { 3 }\) cm

Question 4.
Find the diagonal of a rectangle whose length is 16 cm and area is 192 sq. cm.
Solution:
Let ꠸ABCD be the given rectangle.
BC = 16cm
Area of rectangle = length × breadth
Area of ꠸ABCD = BC × AB

∴ 192 = I6 × AB
∴ AB = \(\frac { 192 }{ 16 } \)
= 12cm
Now, in ∆ABC, ∠B = 90° [Angle of a rectangle]
∴ AC² = AB² + BC² [Pythagoras theorem]
= 122 + 162
= 144 + 256
=400
∴ AC = \(\sqrt { 400 }\) [Taking square root of both sides]
= 20cm
∴ The diagonal of the rectangle is 20 cm.

Question 5.
Find the length of the side and perimeter of an equilateral triangle whose height is \(\sqrt { 3 }\) cm.
Solution:
Let ∆ABC be the given equilateral triangle.
∴ ∠B = 60° [Angle of an equilateral triangle]

AD ⊥ BC, B – D – C.
In ∆ABD, ∠B =60°, ∠ADB = 90°
∴ ∠BAD = 30° [Remaining angle of a triangle]
∴ ∆ABD is a 30° – 60° – 90° triangle.
∴ AD = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)AB [Side opposite to 600]
∴ \(\sqrt { 3 }\) = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)AB
∴ AB = \(\frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}\)
∴ AB = 2cm
∴ Side of equilateral triangle = 2cm
Perimeter of ∆ABC = 3 × side
= 3 × AB
= 3 × 2
= 6cm
∴ The length of the side and perimeter of the equilateral triangle are 2 cm and 6 cm respectively.

Question 6.
In ∆ABC, seg AP is a median. If BC = 18, AB2 + AC2 = 260, find AP.
Solution:
PC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) BC [P is the midpoint of side BC]
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) × 18 = 9cm

in ∆ABC, seg AP is the median,
Now, AB² + AC² = 2 A² + 2 PC² [Apollonius theorem]
∴ 260 = 2 AP² + 2 (9)²
∴ 130 = AP² + 81 [Dividing both sides by 2]
∴ AP² = 130 – 81
∴ AP² = 49
∴ AP = \(\sqrt { 49 }\) [Taking square root of both sides]
∴ AP = 7 units

Question 7.
∆ABC is an equilateral triangle. Point P is on base BC such that PC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \) BC, if AB = 6 cm find AP.

Given: ∆ABC is an equilateral triangle.
PC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \) BC, AB = 6cm.
To find: AP
Consttuction: Draw seg AD ± seg BC, B – D – C.
Solution:
∆ABC is an equilateral triangle.
∴ AB = BC = AC = 6cm [Sides of an equilateral triangle]
pc = \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \) BC [Given]
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \) (6)
∴ PC = 2cm
In ∆ADC,
∠D = 90° [Construction]
∠C = 60° [Angle of an equilateral triangle]
∠DAC = 30° [Remaining angle of a triangle]
∴ ∆ ADC is a 30° – 60° – 90° triangle.
∴ AD = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) AC [Side opposite to 60°]
∴ AD = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) (6)
∴ AD = 3 \(\sqrt { 3 }\)cm
CD = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) AC [Side opposite to 30°]
∴ CD = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) (6)
∴ CD = 3cm
Now DP + PC = CD [D – P – C]
∴ DP + 2 = 3
∴ DP = 1cm
In ∆ADP,
∠ADP = 900
AP² = AD² + DP² [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ AP² = (3\(\sqrt { 3 }\))² + (1)²
∴ AP² = 9 × 3 + 1 = 27 + 1
∴ AP² = 28
∴ AP = \(\sqrt { 28 }\)
∴ AP = \(\sqrt{4 \times 7}\)
∴ AP = 2 \(\sqrt { 7 }\)cm

Question 8.
From the information given in the adjoining figure, prove that
PM = PN = \(\sqrt { 3 }\) × a

Solution:
Proof:
In ∆PMR,
QM = QR = a [Given]
∴ Q is the midpoint of side MR.
∴ seg PQ is the median.
∴ PM² + PR² = 2PQ² + 2QM² [Apollonius theorem]

∴ PM² + a² = 2a² + 2a²
∴ PM² + a² = 4a²
∴ PM² = 3a²
∴ PM,= \(\sqrt { 3 }\)a (i) [Taking square root of both sides]
SimlarIy, in ∆PNQ,
R is the midpoint of side QN.
∴ seg PR is the median.
∴ PN² + PQ² = 2 PR² + 2 RN² [Apollonius theorem]

∴ PN² + a² = 2a² + 2a²
∴ PN² + a² = 4a²
∴ PN² = 3a²
∴ PN = \(\sqrt { 3 }\)a (ii) [Taking square root of both sides]
∴ PM = PN = \(\sqrt { 3 }\) a [From (i) and (ii)]

Question 9.
Prove that the sum of the squares of the diagonals of a parallelogram ¡s equal to the sum of the squares of its sides.

Given: ꠸ABCD is a parallelogram, diagonals AC and BD intersect at point M.
To prove: AC² + BD² = AB² + BC² + CD² + AD²
Solution:
Proof:
꠸ABCD is a parallelogram.
∴ AB = CD and BC = AD (i) [Opposite sides of a parallelogram]
AM = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) AC and BM = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) BD (ii) [Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other]
∴ M is the midpoint of diagonals AC and BD. (iii)
In ∆ABC.
seg BM is the median. [From (iii)]
AB² + BC² = 2AM² + 2BM² (iv) [Apollonius theorem]
∴ AB² + BC² = 2(\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) AC)² + 2(\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) BD)² [From (ii) and (iv)]
∴ AB² + BC² = 2 × \(\frac{\mathrm{BD}^{2}}{4}+2 \times \frac{\mathrm{AC}^{2}}{4}\)
∴ AB² + BC² = \(\frac{B D^{2}}{2}+\frac{A C^{2}}{2}\)
∴ 2AB² + 2BC² = BD² + AC² [Multiplying both sides by 2]
∴ AB² + AB² + BC² + BC² = BD² + AC²
∴ AB² + CD² + BC² + AD² = BD² + AC² [From(i)]
i.e. AC² + BD² = AB² + BC² + CD² + AD²

Question 10.
Pranali and Prasad started walking to the East and to the North respectively, from the same point and at the same speed. After 2 hours distance between them was 15\(\sqrt { 2 }\) km. Find their speed per hour.
Solution:
Suppose Pranali and Prasad started walking from point A, and reached points B and C respectively after 2 hours.
Distance between them = BC = 15\(\sqrt { 2 }\) km

Since, their speed is same, both travel the same distance in the given time.
∴ AB = AC
Let AB = AC = x km (i)
Now, in ∆ ABC, ∠A = 90°
∴ BC² = AB² + AC² [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ (15\(\sqrt { 2 }\))² = x² + x² [From (i)]
∴ 225 × 2 = 2 x²
∴ x² = 225
∴ x = \(\sqrt { 225 }\) [Taking square root of both sides]
∴ x = 15 km
∴ AB = AC = 15km
\(\text { Now, speed }=\frac{\text { distance }}{\text { time }}=\frac{15}{2}\)
= 7.5 km/hr
∴ The speed of Pranali and Prasad is 7.5 km/hour.

Question 11.
In ∆ABC, ∠BAC = 90°, seg BL and seg CM are medians of ∆ABC. Then prove that 4 (BL² + CM²) = 5 BC².

Given : ∠BAC = 90°
seg BL and seg CM are the medians.
To prove: 4(BL² + CM²) = 5BC²
Solution:
Proof:
In ∆BAL, ∠BAL 90° [Given]
∴ BL² = AB² + AL² (i) [Pythagoras theorem]
In ∆CAM, ∠CAM = 90° [Given]
∴ CM² = AC² + AM² (ii) [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ BL² + CM² = AB² + AC² + AL² + AM² (iii) [Adding (i) and (ii)]
Now, AL = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) AC and AM = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) AB (iv) [seg BL and seg CM are the medians]
∴ BL² + CM²
= AB² + AC² + (\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) AC)² + (\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) AB)² [From (iii) and (iv)]
\(=A B^{2}+A C^{2}+\frac{A C^{2}}{4}+\frac{A B^{2}}{4}\)
\(=A B^{2}+\frac{A B^{2}}{4}+A C^{2}+\frac{A C^{2}}{4}\)
\(=\frac{5 \mathrm{AB}^{2}}{4}+\frac{5 \mathrm{AC}^{2}}{4}\)
∴ BL² + CM² = \(\frac { 5 }{ 4 } \) (AB² + AC²)
∴ 4(BL² + CM²) = 5(AB² + AC²) (v)
In ∆BAC, ∠BAC = 90° [Given]
∴ BC² = AB² + AC² (vi) [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ 4(BL² + CM²) = 5BC² [From (v) and (vi)]

Question 12.
Sum of the squares of adjacent sides of a parallelogram is 130 cm and length of one of its diagonals is 14 cm. Find the length of the other diagonal.
Solution:
Let ꠸ABCD be the given
parallelogram and its diagonals AC and BD intersect at point M.

∴ AB² + AD² = 130cm, BD = 14cm
MD = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) BD (i) [Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other]
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) × 14 = 7 cm
In ∆ABD, seg AM is the median. [From (i)]
∴ AB² + = 2AM² + 2MD² [Apollonius theorem]
∴ 130 = 2 AM² + 2(7)²
∴ 65 = AM² +49 [Dividing both sides by 2]
∴ AM² = 65 – 49
∴ AM² = 16 [Taking square root of both sides]
∴ AM = \(\sqrt { 16 }\)
= 4cm
Now, AC =2 AM [Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other]
2 × 4 = 8 cm
∴ The length of the other diagonal of the parallelogram is 8 cm.

Question 13.
In ∆ABC, seg AD ⊥ seg BC and DB = 3 CD. Prove that: 2 AB2 = 2 AC2 + BC2.
Given: seg AD ⊥ seg BC
DB = 3CD
To prove: 2AB² = 2AC² + BC²

Solution:
DB = 3CD (i) [Given]
In ∆ADB, ∠ADB = 90° [Given]
∴ AB² = AD² + DB² [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ AB² = AD² + (3CD)² [From (i)]
∴ AB² = AD² + 9CD² (ii)
In ∆ADC, ∠ADC = 90° [Given]
∴ AC² = AD² + CD² [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ AD² = AC² – CD² (iii)
AB² = AC² – CD² + 9CD² [From (ii) and(iii)]
∴ AB² = AC² + 8CD² (iv)
CD + DB = BC [C – D – B]
∴ CD + 3CD = BC [From (i)]
∴ 4CD = BC
∴ CD = \(\frac { BC }{ 4 } \) (v)
AB² = AC² + 8(\(\frac { BC }{ 4 } \))² [From (iv) and (v)]
∴ AB² = AC² + 8 × \(\frac{\mathrm{BC}^{2}}{16}\)
∴ AB² = AC² + \(\frac{\mathrm{BC}^{2}}{2}\)
∴ 2AB² = 2AC² + BC² [Multiplying both sides by 2]

Question 14.
In an isosceles triangle, length of the congruent sides is 13 em and its.base is 10 cm. Find the distance between the vertex opposite to the base and the centroid.
Given: ∆ABC is an isosceles triangle.
G is the centroid.
AB = AC = 13 cm, BC = 10 cm.
To find: AG
Construction: Extend AG to intersect side BC at D, B – D – C.

Solution:
Centroid G of ∆ABC lies on AD
∴ seg AD is the median. (i)
∴ D is the midpoint of side BC.
∴ DC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) BC
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) × 10 = 5
In ∆ABC, seg AD is the median. [From (i)]
∴ AB² + AC² = 2 AD² + 2 DC² [Apollonius theorem]
∴ 13² + 13² = 2 AD² + 2 (5)²
∴ 2 × 13² = 2 AD² + 2 × 25
∴ 169 = AD² + 25 [Dividing both sides by 2]
∴ AD² = 169 – 25
∴ AD² = 144
∴ AD = \(\sqrt { 144 }\) [Taking square root of both sides]
= 12 cm
We know that, the centroid divides the median in the ratio 2 : 1.
∴ \(\frac { AG }{ GD } \) = \(\frac { 2 }{ 1 } \)
∴ \(\frac { GD }{ AG } \) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) [By invertendo]
∴ \(\frac { GD+AG }{ AG } \) = \(\frac { 1+2 }{ 2 } \) [By componendo]
∴ \(\frac { AD }{ AG } \) = \(\frac { 3 }{ 2 } \) [A – G – D]
∴ \(\frac { 12 }{ AG } \) = \(\frac { 3 }{ 2 } \)
∴ AG = \(\frac{12 \times 2}{3}\)
= 8cm
∴ The distance between the vertex opposite to the base and the centroid is 8 cm.

Question 15.
In a trapezium ABCD, seg AB || seg DC, seg BD ⊥ seg AD, seg AC ⊥ seg BC. If AD = 15, BC = 15 and AB = 25, find A (꠸ABCD).

Construction: Draw seg DE ⊥ seg AB, A – E – B
and seg CF ⊥ seg AB, A – F- B.
Solution:
In ∆ ACB, ∠ACB = 90° [Given]
∴ AB2 = AC2 + BC2 [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ 252 = AC2 + 152
∴ AC2 = 625 – 225
= 400

∴ AC = \(\sqrt { 400 }\) [Taking square root of both sides]
= 20 units
Now, A(∆ABC) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) × BC × AC
Also, A(∆ABC) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) × AB × CF
∴ \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) × BC × AC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) × AB × CF
∴ BC × AC = AB × CF
∴ 15 × 20 = 25 × CF
∴ CF = \(\frac{15 \times 20}{25}\) = 12 units
In ∆CFB, ∠CFB 90° [Construction]
∴ BC² = CF² + FB² [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ 15² = 12² + FB²
∴ FB² = 225 – 144
∴ FB² = 81
∴ FB = \(\sqrt { 81 }\) [Taking square root of both sides]
= 9 units
Similarly, we can show that, AE = 9 units
Now, AB = AE + EF + FB [A – E – F, E – F – B]
∴ 25 = 9 + EF + 9
∴ EF = 25 – 18 = 7 units
In ꠸CDEF,
seg EF || seg DC [Given, A – E – F, E – F – B]
seg ED || seg FC [Perpendiculars to same line are parallel]
∴ ꠸CDEF is a parallelogram.
∴ DC = EF 7 units [Opposite sides of a parallelogram]
A(꠸ABCD) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) × CF × (AB + CD)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) × 12 × (25 + 7)
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) × 12 × 32
∴ A(꠸ABCD) = 192 sq. units

Question 16.
In the adjoining figure, ∆PQR is an equilateral triangle. Point S is on seg QR such that QS = \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \) QR. Prove that: 9 PS² = 7 PQ².

Given: ∆PQR is an equilateral triangle.
QS = \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \) QR
To prove: 9PS² = 7PQ²
Solution:
Proof:
∆PQR is an equilateral triangle [Given]
∴ ∠P = ∠Q = ∠R = 60° (i) [Angles of an equilateral triangle]
PQ = QR = PR (ii) [Sides of an equilateral triangle]
In ∆PTS, ∠PTS = 90° [Given]
PS² = PT² + ST² (iii) [Pythagoras theorem]
In ∆PTQ,
∠PTQ = 90° [Given]
∠PQT = 60° [From (i)]
∴ ∠QPT = 30° [Remaining angle of a triangle]
∴ ∆PTQ is a 30° – 60° – 90° triangle
∴ PT = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) PQ (iv) [Side opposite to 60°]
QT = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) PQ (v) [Side opposite to 30°]
QS + ST = QT [Q – S – T]
∴ \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \) QR + ST = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) PQ [Given and from (v)]
∴ \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \) PQ + ST = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) PQ [From (ii)]
∴ ST = \(\frac { PQ }{ 2 } \) – \(\frac { PQ }{ 3 } \)
∴ ST = \(\frac { 3PQ-2PQ }{ 6 } \)
∴ ST = \(\frac { PQ }{ 6 } \) (vi)
\(\mathrm{PS}^{2}=\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \mathrm{PQ}\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{\mathrm{PQ}}{6}\right)^{2}\) [From (iii), (iv) and (vi)]
∴ \(\mathrm{PS}^{2}=\frac{3 \mathrm{PQ}^{2}}{4}+\frac{\mathrm{PQ}^{2}}{36}\)
∴ \(\mathrm{PS}^{2}=\frac{27 \mathrm{PQ}^{2}}{36}+\frac{\mathrm{PQ}^{2}}{36}\)
∴\(\mathrm{PS}^{2}=\frac{28 \mathrm{PQ}^{2}}{36}\)
∴PS² = \(\frac { 7 }{ 3 } \) PQ²
∴ 9PS² = 7 PQ²

Question 17.
Seg PM is a median of APQR. If PQ = 40, PR = 42 and PM = 29, find QR.
Solution:
In ∆PQR, seg PM is the median. [Given]
∴ M is the midpoint of side QR.
∴ PQ² + PR² = 2 PM² + 2 MR² [Apollonius theorem]

∴ 40² + 42² = 2 (29)² + 2 MR²
∴ 1600 + 1764 = 2 (841) + 2 MR²
∴ 3364 = 2 (841) + 2 MR²
∴ 1682 = 841 +MR² [Dividing both sides by 2]
∴ MR² = 1682 – 841
∴ MR² = 841
∴ MR = \(\sqrt { 841 }\) [Taking square root of both sides]
= 29 units
Now, QR = 2 MR [M is the midpoint of QR]
= 2 × 29
∴ QR = 58 units

Question 18.
Seg AM is a median of ∆ABC. If AB = 22, AC = 34, BC = 24, find AM.
Solution:
In ∆ABC, seg AM is the median. [Given]
∴ M is the midpoint of side BC.

∴ MC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) BC
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) × 24 = 12 units
Now, AB² + AC² = 2 AM² + 2 MC² [Apollonius theorem]
∴ 22² + 34² = 2 AM² + 2 (12)²
∴ 484 + 1156 = 2 AM² + 2 (144)
∴ 1640 = 2 AM² + 2 (144)
∴ 820 = AM² + 144 [Dividing both sides by 2]
∴ AM² = 820 – 144
∴ AM² = 676
∴ AM = \(\sqrt { 676 }\) [Taking square root of both sides]
∴ AM = 26 units

Solution:

Question 4.
Solve the following equations.

Solution:

This equation is true for x = 0
∴ x = 0 is one of the solutions.
If x ≠ 0, then x² ≠ 0
∴ \(\frac { 1 }{ 12x – 20 }\) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 8x + 12 }\) … [Dividing both sides by x²]
∴ 8x + 12 = 12x – 20
∴ 12 + 20 = 12x – 8x
∴ 32 = 4x
∴ x = 8
∴ x = 0 or x = 8 are the solutions of the given equation.

∴ 21(x – 5) = 4(2x + 3)
∴ 21x – 105 = 8x + 12
∴ 21x – 8x = 12 + 105
∴ 13x = 117
∴ x = 9
∴ x = 9 ¡s the solution of the given equation.

∴ 9(4x + 1) = 25(x + 3)
∴36x + 925x + 75
∴ 36x – 25 = 75 – 9
∴11x = 66
∴ x = 6
∴ x = 6 is the solution of the given equation.


∴ 4(3x – 4) = 5(x + 1)
∴ 12x – 16 = 5x + 5
∴ 12x – 5x = 5 + 16
∴ 7x = 21
∴ x = 3
∴ x = 3 ¡s the solution of the given equation.

Solution:
The ratio of ages of Abha and her mother is 2 : 5.
Let the common multiple be x.
∴ Present age of Abha = 2x years and
Present age of Abha’s mother = 5x years
According to the given condition, the age of Abha’s mother at the time of Abha’s birth = 27 years
∴ 5x – 2x = 27
∴ 3x = 27
∴ x = 9
∴ Present age of Abha = 2x = 2 x 9 = 18 years
∴ Present age of Abha’s mother = 5x =5 x 9 = 45 years
The present ages of Abha and her mother are 18 years and 45 years respectively.

Question 7.

Solution:
Present age of Vatsala = 14 years
Present age of Sara = 10 years
After x years,
Vatsala’s age = (14 + x) years
Sara’s age = (10 + x) years
According to the given condition,
After x years the ratio of their ages will become 5 : 4
∴ \(\frac { 14 + x }{ 10 + x }\) = \(\frac { 5 }{ 4 }\)
∴ 4(14 + x) = 5(10 + x)
∴ 56 + 4x = 50 + 5x
∴ 56 – 50 = 5x – 4x
∴ 6 = x
∴ x = 6
∴ After 6 years, the ratio of their ages will become 5 : 4.

Solution:
The ratio of present ages of Rehana and her mother is 2 : 7
Let the common multiple be x.
∴ Present age of Rehana = 2x years and Present age of Rehana’s mother = 7x years
After 2 years,
Rehana’s age = (2x + 2) years
Age of Rehana’s mother = (7x + 2) years
According to the given condition,
After 2 years, the ratio of their ages will be 1 : 3
∴ \(\frac { 2x + 2 }{ 7x + 2 }\) = \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\)
∴ 3(2x + 2) = 1(7x + 2)
∴ 6x + 6 = 7x + 2
∴ 6 – 2 = 7x – 6x
∴ 4 = x
∴ x = 4
∴ Rehana’s present age = 2x = 2 x 4 = 8 years
∴ Rehana’s present age is 8 years.

= m³(m⁴ – 2m² + 3m + 2) – 2m(m⁴ – 2m² + 3m + 2) + 3(m⁴ – 2m² + 3m + 2)
= m⁷ – 2m⁵ + 3m⁴ + 2m³ – 2m⁵ + 4m³ – 6m² – 4m + 3m⁴ – 6m² + 9m + 6
= m⁷ – 2m⁵ – 2m⁵ + 3m⁴ + 3m⁴ + 2m³ + 4m³ – 6m² – 6m² – 4m + 9m + 6
= m⁷ – 4m⁵ + 6m⁴ + 6m³ – 12m² + 5m + 6

∴ Coefficient form of dividend = (3, – 8, 1,7)
Divisor = x – 3
∴ Opposite of – 3 is 3

Coefficient form of quotient = (3, 1,4)
∴ Quotient = 3x² + x + 4 and
Remainder =19

Question 10.
For which value of m, x + 3 is the factor of the polynomial x³ – 2mx + 21?
Solution:
Here, p(x) = x³ – 2mx + 21
(x + 3) is a factor of x³ – 2mx + 21.
∴ By factor theorem,
Remainder = 0
∴ P(- 3) = 0
p(x) = x³ – 2mx + 21
∴ p(-3) = (-3)³ – 2(m)(-3) + 21
∴ 0 = – 27 + 6m + 21
∴ 6 + 6m = 0
∴ 6m = 6
∴ m = 1
∴ x + 3 is the factor of x³ – 2mx + 21 for m = 1.

Question 11.
At the end of the year 2016, the population of villages Kovad, Varud, Chikhali is 5x² – 3y², 7y² + 2xy and 9x² + 4xy respectively. At the beginning of the year 2017, x² + xy – y², 5xy and 3x² + xy persons from each of the three villages respectively went to another village for education, then what is the remaining total population of these three villages ?
Solution:
Total population of villages at the end of 2016 = (5x² – 3y²) + (7y² + 2xy) + (9x² + 4xy)
= 5x² + 9x² – 3y² + 7y² + 2xy + 4xy
= 14x² + 4y² + 6xy …….(i)
Total number of persons who went to other village at the beginning of 2017 = (x² + xy – y²) + (5xy) + (3x² + xy)
= x² + 3x² – y² + xy + 5xy + xy
= 4x² – y² + 7xy … (ii)
Remaining total population of villages = Total population at the end of 2016 – total number of persons who went to other village at the beginning of 2017
= 14x² + 4y² + 6xy – (4x² – y² + 7xy) … [From (i) and (ii)]
= 14x² + 4y² + 6xy – 4x² + y² – 7xy
= 14x² – 4x² + 4y² + y² + 6xy – 7xy = 1
= 10x² + 5y² – xy
∴ The remaining total population of the three villages is 10x² + 5y² – xy.

Question 12.
Polynomials bx² + x + 5 and bx³ – 2x + 5 are divided by polynomial x – 3 and the remainders are m and n respectively. If m – n = 0, then find the value of b.
Solution:
When polynomial bx² + x + 5 is divided by (x – 3), the remainder is m.
∴ By remainder theorem,
Remainder = p(3) = m
p(x) = bx² + x + 5
∴ p(3) = b(3)² + 3 + 5
∴m = b(9) + 8
m = 9b + 8 …(i)
When polynomial bx³ – 2x + 5 is divided by x – 3 the remainder is n
∴ remainder = p(3) = n
p(x) = bx³ – 2x + 5
∴ P(3)= b(3)³ – 2(3) + 5
∴ n = b(27) – 6 + 5
∴ n = 27b – 1 …(ii)
Now, m – n = 0 …[Given]
∴ m = n
∴ 9b + 8 = 27b – 1 …[From (i) and (ii)]
∴ 8 + 1 = 27b – 9b
∴ 9 = 18b
∴ b = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)

Question 13.
Simplify.
(8m² + 3m – 6) – (9m – 7) + (3m² – 2m + 4)
Solution:
(8m² + 3m – 6) – (9m – 7) + (3m² – 2m + 4)
= 8m² + 3m – 6 – 9m + 7 + 3m² – 2m + 4
= 8m² + 3m² + 3m – 9m – 2m – 6 + 7 + 4
= 11m² – 8m + 5

Question 14.
Which polynomial is to be subtracted from x² + 13x + 7 to get the polynomial 3x² + 5x – 4?
Solution:
Let the required polynomial be A.
∴ (x² + 13x + 7) – A = 3x² + 5x – 4
∴ A = (x² + 13x + 7) – (3x² + 5x – 4)
= x² + 13x + 7 – 3x² – 5x + 4
= x² – 3x² + 13x – 5x + 7+4
= -2x² + 8x + 11
∴ – 2x² + 8x + 11 must be subtracted from x² + 13x + 7 to get 3x² + 5x – 4.

Question 15.
Which polynomial is to be added to 4m + 2n + 3 to get the polynomial 6m + 3n + 10?
Solution:
Let the required polynomial be A.
∴ (4m + 2n + 3) + A = 6m + 3n + 10
∴ A = 6m + 3n + 10 – (4m + 2n + 3)
= 6m + 3n + 10 – 4m – 2n – 3
= 6m – 4m + 3n – 2n + 10 – 3
= 2m + n + 7
∴ 2m + n + 7 must be added to 4m + 2n + 3 to get 6m + 3n + 10.

Question 1.
Read the following passage, write the appropriate amount in the boxes and discuss.
Govind, who is a dry land farmer from Shiralas has a 5 acre field. His family includes his wife, two children and his old mother. He borrowed one lakh twenty five thousand rupees from the bank for one year as agricultural loan at 10 p.c.p.a. He cultivated soyabean in x acres and cotton and tur in y acres. The expenditure he incurred was as follows :
He spent ₹10,000 on seeds. The expenses for fertilizers and pesticides for the soyabean crop was ₹ 2000x and ₹ 4000x² were spent on wages and cultivation of land. He spent ₹ 8000y on fertilizers and pesticides and ₹ 9000y2 for wages and cultivation of land for the cotton and tur crops.

Let us write the total expenditure on all the crops by using variables x and y.
₹ 10000 + 2000x + 4000×2 + 8000y + 9000y²
He harvested 5x² quintals soyabean and sold it at ₹ 2800 per quintal. The cotton crop yield was \(\frac { 5 }{ 3 }\) y² quintals which fetched ₹ 5000 per quintal.
The tur crop yield was 4y quintals and was sold at ₹ 4000 per quintal. Write the total income in rupees that was obtained by selling the entire farm produce, with the help of an expression using variables x and y. (Textbook pg. no. 44)
Answer:
Total income = income on soyabean crop + income on cotton crop + income on tur crop
= ₹ (5x² x 2800) + ₹(\(\frac { 5 }{ 3 }\) y² x 5000) + ₹ (4y x 4000)
= ₹ ( 14000x² + \(\frac { 25000 }{ 3 }\)y² + 16000y)

Question 2.
We have seen the example of expenditure and income (in terms of polynomials) of Govind who is a dry land farmer. He has borrowed rupees one lakh twenty-five thousand from the bank as an agriculture loan and repaid the said loan at 10 p.c.p.a. He had spent ₹ 10,000 on seeds. The expenses on soyabean crop was ₹ 2000x for fertilizers and pesticides and ₹ 4000x² was spent on wages and cultivation. He spent ₹ 8000y on fertilizers and pesticides and ₹9000y² on cultivation and wages for cotton and tur crop.
His total income was
₹ (14000x² + \(\frac { 25000 }{ 3 }\)y² + 16000y)
By taking x = 2, y = 3 write the income expenditure account of Govind’s farming. (Textbook pg. no. 52)

Question 1.
In ∆PQR, point S is the midpoint of side QR. If PQ = 11, PR = 17, PS = 13, find QR.

Solution:
In ∆PQR, point S is the midpoint of side QR. [Given]
∴ seg PS is the median.
∴ PQ² + PR² = 2 PS² + 2 SR² [Apollonius theorem]
∴ 11² + 17² = 2 (13)² + 2 SR²
∴ 121 + 289 = 2 (169)+ 2 SR²
∴ 410 = 338+ 2 SR²
∴ 2 SR² = 410 – 338
∴ 2 SR² = 72
∴ SR² = \(\frac { 72 }{ 2 } \) = 36
∴ SR = \(\sqrt{36}\) [Taking square root of both sides]
= 6 units Now, QR = 2 SR [S is the midpoint of QR]
= 2 × 6
∴ QR = 12 units

Question 2.
In ∆ABC, AB = 10, AC = 7, BC = 9, then find the length of the median drawn from point C to side AB.
Solution:
Let CD be the median drawn from the vertex C to side AB.
BD = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) AB [D is the midpoint of AB]
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) × 10 = 5 units

In ∆ABC, seg CD is the median. [Given]
∴ AC² + BC² = 2 CD² + 2 BD² [Apollonius theorem]
∴ 7² + 9² = 2 CD² + 2 (5)²
∴ 49 + 81 = 2 CD² + 2 (25)
∴ 130 = 2 CD² + 50
∴ 2 CD² = 130 – 50
∴ 2 CD² = 80
∴ CD² = \(\frac { 80 }{ 2 } \) = 40
∴ CD = \(\sqrt { 40 }\) [Taking square root of both sides]
= 2 \(\sqrt { 10 }\) units
∴ The length of the median drawn from point C to side AB is 2 \(\sqrt { 10 }\) units.

Question 3.
In the adjoining figure, seg PS is the median of APQR and PT ⊥ QR. Prove that,

i. PR² = PS² + QR × ST + (\(\frac { QR }{ 2 } \))²
ii. PQ² = PS² – QR × ST + (\(\frac { QR }{ 2 } \))²
Solution:
i. QS = SR = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) QR (i) [S is the midpoint of side QR]

∴ In ∆PSR, ∠PSR is an obtuse angle [Given]
and PT ⊥ SR [Given, Q-S-R]
∴ PR² = SR² +PS² + 2 SR × ST (ii) [Application of Pythagoras theorem]
∴ PR² = (\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) QR)² + PS² + 2 (\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) QR) × ST [From (i) and (ii)]
∴ PR² = (\(\frac { QR }{ 2 } \))² + PS² + QR × ST
∴ PR² = PS² + QR × ST + (\(\frac { QR }{ 2 } \))²

ii. In.∆PQS, ∠PSQ is an acute angle and [Given]

PT ⊥QS [Given, Q-S-R]
∴ PQ² = QS² + PS² – 2 QS × ST (iii) [Application of Pythagoras theorem]
∴ PR² = (\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) QR)² + PS² – 2 (\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) QR) × ST [From (i) and (iii)]
∴ PR² = (\(\frac { QR }{ 2 } \))² + PS² – QR × ST
∴ PR² = PS² – QR × ST + (\(\frac { QR }{ 2 } \))²

Question 4.
In ∆ABC, point M is the midpoint of side BC. If AB² + AC² = 290 cm, AM = 8 cm, find BC.

Solution:
In ∆ABC, point M is the midpoint of side BC. [Given]
∴ seg AM is the median.
∴ AB² + AC² = 2 AM² + 2 MC² [Apollonius theorem]
∴ 290 = 2 (8)² + 2 MC²
∴ 145 = 64 + MC² [Dividing both sides by 2]
∴ MC² = 145 – 64
∴ MC² = 81
∴ MC = \(\sqrt{81}\) [Taking square root of both sides]
MC = 9 cm
Now, BC = 2 MC [M is the midpoint of BC]
= 2 × 9
∴ BC = 18 cm

Question 5.
In the adjoining figure, point T is in the interior of rectangle PQRS. Prove that, TS² + TQ² = TP² + TR². (As shown in the figure, draw seg AB || side SR and A – T – B)

Given: ꠸PQRS is a rectangle.
Point T is in the interior of ꠸PQRS.
To prove: TS² + TQ² = TP² + TR²
Construction: Draw seg AB || side SR such that A – T – B.
Solution:
Proof:
꠸PQRS is a rectangle. [Given]
∴ PS = QR (i) [Opposite sides of a rectangle]
In ꠸ASRB,
∠S = ∠R = 90° (ii) [Angles of rectangle PQRS]
side AB || side SR [Construction]
Also ∠A = ∠S = 90° [Interior angle theorem, from (ii)]
∠B = ∠R = 90°
∴ ∠A = ∠B = ∠S = ∠R = 90° (iii)
∴ ꠸ASRB is a rectangle.
∴ AS = BR (iv) [Opposite sides of a rectanglel

In ∆PTS, ∠PST is an acute angle
and seg AT ⊥ side PS [From (iii)]
∴ TP² = PS² + TS² – 2 PS.AS (v) [Application of Pythagoras theorem]
In ∆TQR., ∠TRQ is an acute angle
and seg BT ⊥ side QR [From (iii)]
∴ TQ² = RQ² + TR² – 2 RQ.BR (vi) [Application of pythagoras theorem]

TP² – TQ² = PS² + TS² – 2PS.AS
-RQ² – TR² + 2RQ.BR [Subtracting (vi) from (v)]
∴ TP² – TQ² = TS² – TR² + PS²
– RQ² -2 PS.AS +2 RQ.BR
∴ TP² – TQ² = TS² – TR² + PS²
– PS² – 2 PS.BR + 2PS.BR [From (i) and (iv)]
∴ TP² – TQ² = TS² – TR²
∴ TS² + TQ² = TP² + TR²

Question 1.
In ∆ABC, ∠C is an acute angle, seg AD Iseg BC. Prove that: AB² = BC² + A² – 2 BC × DC. (Textbook pg. no. 44)
Given: ∠C is an acute angle, seg AD ⊥ seg BC.
To prove: AB² = BC² + AC² – 2BC × DC
Solution:
Proof:
∴ LetAB = c, AC = b, AD = p,

∴ BC = a, DC = x
BD + DC = BC [B – D – C]
∴ BD = BC – DC
∴ BD = a – x
In ∆ABD, ∠D = 90° [Given]
AB² = BD² + AD² [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ c² = (a – x)² + [P²] (i)
∴ c² = a² – 2ax + x² + [P²]
In ∆ADC, ∠D = 90° [Given]
AC² = AD² + CD² [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ b² = p² + [X²]
∴ p² = b² – [X²] (ii)
∴ c² = a² – 2ax + x² + b² – x² [Substituting (ii) in (i)]
∴ c² = a² + b² – 2ax
∴ AB² = BC² + AC² – 2 BC × DC

Question 2.
In ∆ABC, ∠ACB is an obtuse angle, seg AD ⊥ seg BC. Prove that: AB² = BC² + AC² + 2 BC × CD. (Textbook pg. no. 40 and 4.1)
Given: ∠ACB is an obtuse angle, seg AD ⊥ seg BC.
To prove: AB² = BC² + AC² + 2BC × CD
Solution:
Proof:

Let AD = p, AC = b, AB = c,
BC = a, DC = x
BD = BC + DC [B – C – D]
∴ BD = a + x
In ∆ADB, ∠D = 90° [Given]
AB² = BD² + AD² [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ c² = (a + x)² + p² (i)
∴ c² = a² + 2ax + x² + p²
Also, in ∆ADC, ∠D = 90° [Given]
AC² = CD² + AD² [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ b² = x² + p²
∴ p² = b² – x² (ii)
∴ c² = a² + 2ax + x² + b² – x² [Substituting (ii) in (i)]
∴ c² = a² + b² + 2ax
∴ AB² = BC² + AC² + 2 BC × CD

Question 3.
In ∆ABC, if M is the midpoint of side BC and seg AM ⊥seg BC, then prove that
AB² + AC² = 2 AM² + 2 BM². (Textbook pg, no. 41)
Given: In ∆ABC, M is the midpoint of side BC and seg AM ⊥ seg BC.
To prove: AB² + AC² = 2 AM² + 2 BM²
Solution:
Proof:

In ∆AMB, ∠M = 90° [segAM ⊥ segBC]
∴ AB2 = AM2 + BM2 (i) [Pythagoras theorem]
Also, in ∆AMC, ∠M = 90° [seg AM ⊥ seg BC]
∴ AC2 = AM2 + MC2 (ii) [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ AB² + AC² = AM² + BM² + AM² + MC² [Adding (i) and (ii)]
∴ AB² + AC² = 2 AM² + BM² + BM² [∵ BM = MC (M is the midpoint of BC)]
∴ AB² + AC² = 2 AM² + 2 BM²

Question 1.
Find the value of the polynomial 2x – 2x³ + 7 using given values for x.
i. x = 3
ii. x = -1
iii. x = 0
Solution:
i. p(x) = 2x – 2x³ + 7
Put x = 3 in the given polynomial.
∴ p(3) = 2(3) – 2(3)³ + 7
= 6 – 2 x 27 + 7
= 6 – 54 + 7
∴ P(3) = – 41

ii. p(x) = 2x – 2x³ + 7
Put x = -1 in the given polynomial.
∴ p(- 1) = 2(- 1) – 2(-1)³ + 7
= – 2 – 2(-1) + 7
= -2 + 2 + 7
∴ p(-1) = 7

iii. p(x) = 2x – 2x³ + 7
Put x = 0 in the given polynomial.
∴ p(0) = 2(0) – 2(0)³ + 7
= 0 – 0 + 7
∴ P(0) = 7

Question 2.
For each of the following polynomial, find p(1), p(0) and p(- 2).
i. p(x) = x³
ii. p(y) = y² – 2y + 5
ii. p(y) = x⁴ – 2x² + x
Solution:
i. p(x) = x³
∴ p(1) = 1³ = 1
p(x) = x³
∴ p(0) = 0³ = 0
p(x) = x³
∴ p(-2) = (-2)³ = -8

ii. p(y) = y² – 2y + 5
∴ p(1) = 1² – 2(1) + 5
= 1 – 2 + 5
∴ P(1) = 4
p(y) = y² – 2y + 5
∴ p(0) = 0² – 2(0) + 5
= 0 – 0 + 5
∴ p(0) = 5
p(y) = y² – 2y + 5
∴ p(- 2) = (- 2)² – 2(- 2) + 5
= 4 + 4 + 5
∴ p(-2) = 13

iii. p(x) = x⁴ – 2x² – x
∴ p(1) = (1)⁴ – 2(1)² – 1
= 1 – 2 – 1
∴ p(1) = -2
∴ p(x) = x⁴ – 2x² – x
∴ p(0) = (0)⁴ – 2(0)² – 0
= 0 – 0 – 0
∴ p(0) = 0
p(x) = x⁴ – 2x² – x
∴ p(-2) = (-2)⁴ – 2(-2)² – (-2)
= 16 – 2(4) + 2
= 16 – 8 + 2
∴ p(-2) = 10

Question 3.
If the value of the polynomial m³ + 2m + a is 12 for m = 2, then find the value of a.
Solution:
p(m) = m³ + 2m + a
∴ p(2) = (2)³ + 2(2) + a
∴ 12 = 8 + 4 + a … [∵ p(2)= 12]
∴ 12 = 12 + a
∴ a = 12 – 12
∴ a = 0

Question 4.
For the polynomial mx² – 2x + 3 if p(-1) = 7, then find m.
Solution:
p(x) = mx² – 2x + 3
∴ p(- 1) = m (- 1)² – 2(- 1) + 3
∴ 7 = m(1) + 2 + 3 …[∵ p(-1) = 7]
∴ 7 = m + 5
∴ m = 7 – 5
∴ m = 2

Question 5.
Divide the first polynomial by the second polynomial and find the remainder using remainder theorem.
i. (x² – 1x + 9); (x + 1)
ii. (2x³ – 2x² + ax – a); (x – a)
iii. (54m³ + 18m² – 27m + 5); (m – 3)
Solution:
i. p(x) = x² – 7x + 9
Divisor = x + 1
∴ take x = – 1
∴ By remainder theorem,
∴ Remainder =p(-1)
p(x) = x² – 7x + 9
∴ p(-1) = (- 1)² – 7(- 1) + 9
= 1 + 7 + 9
∴ Remainder =17

ii. p(x) = 2x³ – 2x² + ax – a
Divisor = x – a
∴ take x = a
By remainder theorem,
Remainder = p(a)
p(x) = 2x³ – 2x² + ax – a
∴ p(a) = 2a³ – 2a² + a(a) – a
= 2a³– 2a² + a² – a
∴ Remainder = 2a³ – a² – a

iii. p(m) = 54m³ + 18m² – 27m + 5
Divisor = m – 3
∴ take m = 3
∴ By remainder theorem,
Remainder = p(3)
p(m) = 54m³ + 18m² – 27m + 5
∴ p(3) = 54(3)³ +18(3)² – 27(3) + 5
= 54(27) + 18(9) – 81 + 5
= 1458 + 162 – 81 + 5
∴ Remainder = 1544

Question 6.
If the polynomial y³ – 5y² + 7y + m is divided by y + 2 and the remainder is 50, then find the value of m.
Solution:
p(y) = y³ – 5y² + 7y + m
Divisor = y + 2
∴ take y = – 2
∴ By remainder theorem,
Remainder = p(- 2) = 50
P(y) = y³ – 5y² + 7y + m
∴ P(-2) = (- 2)³ – 5(- 2)² + 7(- 2) + m
∴ 50 = -8 – 5(4) – 14 + m
∴ 50 = -8 – 20 – 14 + m
∴ 50 = – 42 + m
∴ m = 50 + 42
∴ m = 92

Question 7.
Use factor theorem to determine whether x + 3 is a factor of x² + 2x – 3 or not.
Solution:
p(x) = x² + 2x – 3
Divisor = x + 3
∴ take x = – 3
∴ Remainder = p(-3)
p(x) = x² + 2x – 3
∴ p(-3) = (-3)² + 2(- 3) – 3
= 9 – 6 – 3
∴ p(-3) = 0
∴ By factor theorem, x + 3 is a factor of x² + 2x – 3.

Question 8.
If (x – 2) is a factor of x³ – mx² + 10x – 20, then find the value of m.
Solution:
p(x) = x³ – mx² + 10x – 20 x – 2 is a factor of x3 – mx2 + lOx – 20.
∴By factor theorem,
Remainder = p(2) = 0
p(x) = x³ – mx² + 10x – 20
∴ p(2) = (2)³ – m(2)² + 10(2) – 20
∴ 0 = 8 – 4m + 20 – 20
∴ 0 = 8 – 4m
∴ 4m = 8
∴ m = 2

Question 9.
By using factor theorem in the following examples, determine whether q(x) is a factor of p(x) or not.
i. p(x) = x³ – x² – x -1 ; q(x) = x – 1
ii. p(x) = 2x³ – x² – 45 ; q(x) = x – 3
Solution:
i. p(x) = x³ – x² – x – 1
Divisor = q(x) = x – 1
∴ take x = 1
Remainder = p(1)
p(x) = x³ – x² – x – 1
∴ P(1) = (1)³ – (1)² – 1 – 1
= 1 – 1 – 1 – 1
= -2 ≠ 0
∴ By factor theorem, x – 1 is not a factor of x³ – x² – x – 1.

ii. p(x) = 2x³ – x – 45
Divisor = q(x) = x – 3
take x = 3
Remainder = p(3)
p(x) = 2x³ – x² – 45
P(3) = 2(3)³ – (3)² – 45
= 2(27) – 9 – 45
= 54 – 9 – 45
= 0
∴ By factor theorem, x – 3 is a factor of 2x³ – x² – 45.

Question 10.
If (x³¹ + 31) is divided by (x + 1), then find the remainder.
Solution:
p(x) = x³¹ + 31
Divisor = x + 1
∴ take x = – 1
∴ By remainder theorem,
Remainder = p(-1)
p(x) =x³¹ + 31 …
∴ p(-1) = (-1)³¹ + 31
= -1 + 31 = 30
∴ Remainder = 30

Question 11.
Show that m – 1 is a factor of m²¹ – 1 and m²² – 1. [3 Marks]
Solution:
i. p(m) = m²¹ – 1
Divisor = m – 1
∴ take m = 1
Remainder = p(1)
p(m) = m²¹ – 1
∴ P(1) = 1²¹ – 1 = 1 – 1 = 0
∴ By factor theorem, m -1 is a factor of m²¹ -1.

ii. p(m) = m²² – 1
Divisor = m – 1
∴ take m = 1
Remainder = p(1)
p(m) = m²² – 1
∴ P(1) = 1²² – 1 = 1 – 1 = 0
∴ By factor theorem, m -1 is a factor of m²² – 1.

Question 12.
If x – 2 and x – \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) both are the factors of the polynomial nx² – 5x + m, then show that m = n = 2.
Solution:
p(x) = nx² – 5x + m
(x – 2) is a factor of nx² – 5x + m.
∴ By factor theorem,
P(2) = 0
∴ p(x) = nx² – 5x + m
∴ p(2) = n(2)² – 5(2) + m
∴ 0 = n(4) – 10 + m
∴ 4n – 10 + m = 0 …(i)
Also, ( x = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) ) is a factor of nx² – 5x + m.
∴ By factor theorem,
p(\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)) = 0
p(x) = nx² – 5x + m
∴ p(\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)) = n(\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\))² – 5\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) + m
0 = \(\frac { n }{ 4 }\) – \(\frac { 5 }{ 2 }\) + m
∴ 0 = n- 10 +4m … [Multiplying both sides by 4]
∴ n = 10 – 4m ……(ii)
Substituting n = 10 – 4m in equation (i),
4(10 – 4m) – 10 + m = 0
∴ 40 – 16m – 10 + m = 0
∴ -15m+ 30 = 0
∴ -15m = -30
∴ m = 2
Substituting m = 2 in equation (ii),
n = 10 – 4(2)
= 10 – 8
∴ n = 2
∴ m = n = 2

Question 13.
i. If p(x) = 2 + 5x, then find the value of p(2) + p(- 2) – p(1).
Solution:
p(x) = 2 + 5x
∴ P(2) = 2 + 5(2)
= 2 + 10
= 12
p(x) = 2 + 5x
P(- 2) = 2 + 5(- 2)
= 2 – 10 = – 8
p(x) = 2 + 5x
P(1) = 2 + 5(1)
= 2 + 5 = 7
∴ P(2) + P(- 2) – p(1) = 12 + (- 8) – 7
∴ P(2) + p(- 2) – p(1) = – 3

ii. If p(x) = 2x² – 5√3 x + 5, then find the value of p(5√3 ).
Solution:
p(x) = 2x² – 5√3 x + 5
∴ p(5√3) = 2(5√3)² – 5√3 (5√3 ) + 5
= 2 (25 x 3) – 25 x 3 + 5
= 150-75 + 5
∴ p( 5√3 ) = 80

Question 1.
1. Divide p(x) = 3x² + x + 7 by x + 2. Find the remainder.
2. Find the value of p(x) = 3x² + x + 7 when x = – 2.
3. See whether remainder obtained by division is same as the value of p(-2). Take one more example and verify. (Textbook pg. no. 50)
Solution:

∴ Remainder = 17

2. p(x) = 3x² + x + 7
Substituting x = – 2, we get
p(-2) = 3(2)² + (-2) + 7
= 12 – 2 + 7
∴ p(-2) = 17

3. Yes, remainder = p(-2)

Another Example:
If the polynomial t³ – 3t² + kt + 50 is divided by (t – 3), the remainder is 62. Find the value of k.
Solution:
When given polynomial is divided by (t – 3) the remainder is 62. It means the value of the polynomial when t = 3 is 62.
p(t) = t³ – 3t³ + kt + 50
By remainder theorem,
Remainder = p(3) = 33 – 3² + k x 3 + 50
= 27 – 3 x 9 + 3k + 50
= 27 – 27 + 3k + 50
= 3k + 50
But remainder is 62.
∴ 3k + 50 = 62
∴ 3k = 62 – 50
∴ 3k = 12
∴ k = 4

Question 2.
Verify that (x – 1) is a factor of the polynomial x³ + 4x – 5. (Textbook pg. no. 51)
Solution:
Here, p(x) = x³ + 4x – 5
Substituting x = 1 in p(x), we get
p(1) = (1)³ + 4(1) – 5
= 1 + 4 – 5
P(1) = 0
∴ By remainder theorem,
Remainder = 0
∴ (x -1) is the factor of x³ + 4x – 5.

Question 2.
In the adjoining figure, ∠MNP = 90°, seg NQ ⊥ seg MP,MQ = 9, QP = 4, find NQ.

Solution:
In ∆MNP, ∠MNP = 90° and [Given]
seg NQ ⊥ seg MP
NQ² = MQ × QP [Theorem of geometric mean]
∴ NQ = \(\sqrt { MQ\times QP }\) [Taking square root of both sides]
= \(\sqrt { 9\times 4 } \)
= 3 × 2
∴NQ = 6 units

Question 3.
In the adjoining figure, ∠QPR = 90°, seg PM ⊥ seg QR and Q – M – R, PM = 10, QM = 8, find QR.

Solution:
In ∆PQR, ∠QPR = 90° and [Given]
seg PM ⊥ seg QR
∴ PM² = OM × MR [Theorem of geometric mean]
∴ 10² = 8 × MR
∴ MR = \(\frac { 100 }{ 8 } \)
= 12.5
Now, QR = QM + MR [Q – M – R]
= 8 + 12.5
∴ QR = 20.5 units

Question 4.
See adjoining figure. Find RP and PS using the information given in ∆PSR.

Solution:
In ∆PSR, ∠S = 90°, ∠P = 30° [Given]
∴ ∠R = 60° [Remaining angle of a triangle]
∴ ∆PSR is a 30° – 60° – 90° triangle.
RS = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) RP [Side opposite to 30°]
∴6 = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) RP
∴ RP = 6 × 2 = 12 units
Also, PS = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) RP [Side opposite to 60°]
= \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) × 12
= \(6 \sqrt{3}\) units
∴ RP = 12 units, PS = 6 \(\sqrt { 3 }\) units

Solution:
AB = BC [Given]
∴ ∠BAC = ∠BCA [Isosceles triangle theorem]
Let ∠BAC = ∠BCA = x (i)
In ∆ABC, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° [Sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180°]
∴ x + 90° + x = 180° [From (i)]
∴ 2x = 90°
∴ x = \(\frac { 90° }{ 2 } \) [From (i)]
∴ x = 45°

Question 6.
Find the side and perimeter of a square whose diagonal is 10 cm.

Solution:
Let ꠸ABCD be the given square.
l(diagonal AC) = 10 cm
Let the side of the square be ‘x’ cm.
In ∆ABC,
∠B = 90° [Angle of a square]
∴ AC² = AB² + BC² [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ 10² = x² + x²
∴ 100 = 2x²
∴ x² = \(\frac { 100 }{ 2 } \)
∴x² = 50
∴ x = \(\sqrt { 50 }\) [Taking square root of both sides]
= \(=\sqrt{25 \times 2}=5 \sqrt{2}\)
∴side of square is 5\(\sqrt { 2 }\) cm.
= 4 × 5 \(\sqrt { 2 }\)
∴ Perimeter of square = 20 \(\sqrt { 2 }\) cm

Question 7.

i. EG
ii. FD, and
iii. EF

Solution:
i. In ∆DEF, ∠DFE = 90° and FG ⊥ ED [Given]
∴ FG² = GD × EG [Theorem of geometric mean]
∴ 122 = 8 × EG .
∴ EG = \(\frac { 144 }{ 8 } \)
∴ EG = 18 units

ii. In ∆FGD, ∠FGD = 90° [Given]
∴ FD² = FG² + GD² [Pythagoras theorem]
= 122 + 82 = 144 + 64
= 208
∴ FD = \(\sqrt { 208 }\) [Taking square root of both sides]
∴ FD = 4 \(\sqrt { 13 }\) units

iii. In ∆EGF, ∠EGF = 90° [Given]
∴ EF² = EG² + FG² [Pythagoras theorem]
= 182 + 122 = 324 + 144
= 468

Solution:
Let ꠸ABCD be the given rectangle.
AB = 12 cm, BC 35 cm
In ∆ABC, ∠B = 90° [Angle of a rectangle]
∴ AC² = AB² + BC² [Pythagoras theorem]
= 122 + 352
= 144 + 1225
= 1369
∴ AC = \(\sqrt { 1369 }\) [Taking square root of both sides]
= 37 cm
∴ The diagonal of the rectangle is 37 cm.

Question 9.
In the adjoining figure, M is the midpoint of QR. ∠PRQ = 90°.
Prove that, PQ² = 4 PM² – 3 PR².

Solution:
Proof:
In ∆PQR, ∠PRQ = 90° [Given]
PQ² = PR² + QR² (i) [Pythagoras theorem]
RM = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) QR [M is the midpoint of QR]
∴ 2RM = QR (ii)
∴ PQ² = PR² + (2RM)² [From (i) and (ii)]
∴ PQ² = PR² + 4RM² (iii)
Now, in ∆PRM, ∠PRM = 90° [Given]
∴ PM² = PR² + RM² [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ RM² = PM² – PR² (iv)
∴ PQ² = PR² + 4 (PM² – PR²) [From (iii) and (iv)]
∴ PQ² = PR² + 4 PM² – 4 PR²
∴ PQ² = 4 PM² – 3 PR²

Question 10.
Walls of two buildings on either side of a street are parallel to each other. A ladder 5.8 m long is placed on the street such that its top just reaches the window of a building at the height of 4 m. On turning the ladder over to the other side of the street, its top touches the window of the other building at a height 4.2 m. Find the width of the street.
Solution:
Let AC and CE represent the ladder of length 5.8 m, and A and E represent windows of the buildings on the opposite sides of the street. BD is the width of the street.

AB = 4 m and ED = 4.2 m
In ∆ABC, ∠B = 90° [Given]
AC² = AB² + BC² [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ 5.8² = 4² + BC²
∴ 5.8² – 4² = BC²
∴ (5.8 – 4) (5.8 + 4) = BC²
∴ 1.8 × 9.8 = BC²

CE² = CD² + DE² [Pythagoras theorem]
∴ 5.8² = CD² + 4.22
∴ 5.8² – 4.2² = CD²
∴ (5.8 – 4.2) (5.8 + 4.2) = CD²
∴ 1.6 × 10 = CD²
∴ CD² = 16
∴ CD = 4m (ii) [Taking square root of both sides]
Now, BD = BC + CD [B – C – D]
= 4.2 + 4 [From (i) and (ii)]
= 8.2 m
∴ The width of the street is 8.2 metres.

Question 1.

3² + 4² = 9 + 16 = 25
∴ 5² = 3² + 4²
The square of the largest number is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two numbers.
∴ 3,4,5 is a Pythagorean triplet.

ii. Here, 13² = 169
5² + 12² = 25 + 144 = 169
∴ 13² = 5² + 12²
The square of the largest number is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two numbers.
∴ 5,12,13 is a Pythagorean triplet.

iii. Here, 17² = 289
8² + 15² = 64 + 225 = 289
∴ 17² = 8² + 15²
The square of the largest number is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two numbers.
∴ 8,15,17 is a Pythagorean triplet.

iv. Here, 25² = 625
7² + 24² = 49 + 576 = 625
∴ 25² = 7² + 24²
The square of the largest number is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two numbers.
∴ 24,25, 7 is a Pythagorean triplet.

Question 2.
Assign different values to a and b and obtain 5 Pythagorean triplets. (Textbook pg. no. 31)
Solution:
i. Let a = 2, b = 1
a² + b² = 2² + 1² = 4 + 1 = 5
a² – b² = 2² – 1² = 4 – 1 = 3
2ab = 2 × 2 × 1 = 4
∴ (5, 3, 4) is a Pythagorean triplet.

ii. Let a = 4,b = 3
a² + b² = 4² + 3² = 16 + 9 = 25
a² – b² = 4² – 3² = 16 – 9 = 7
2ab = 2 × 4 × 3 = 24
∴ (25, 7, 24) is a Pythagorean triplet.

iii. Let a = 5, b = 2
a² + b² = 5² + 2² = 25 + 4 = 29
a² – b² = 5² – 2² = 25 – 4 = 21
2ab = 2 × 5 × 2 = 20
∴ (29, 21, 20) is a Pythagorean triplet.

iv. Let a = 4,b = 1
a² + b² = 4² + 1² = 16 + 1 = 17
a² – b² = 42 – 12 = 16 – 1 = 15
2ab = 2 × 4 × 1 = 8
∴ (17, 15, 8) is a Pythagorean triplet.

v. Let a = 9, b = 7
a² + b² = 92 + 72 = 81 + 49 = 130
a² – b² = 92 – 72 = 81 – 49 = 32
2ab = 2 × 9 × 7 = 126
∴ (130,32,126) is a Pythagorean triplet.

Note: Numbers in Pythagorean triplet can be written in any order.

Question 1.
For x = 0, find the value of the polynomial x² – 5x + 5.
Solution:
p(x) = x² – 5x + 5
Put x = 0 in the given polynomial.
∴ P(0) = (0)² – 5(0) + 5
= 0 – 0 + 5
∴ p(0) = 5

Question 2.
If p(y) = y² – 3√2 + 1, then find p( 3√2 ).
Solution:
p(y) = y² – 3√2 y + 1
Putp= 3√2 in the given polynomial.
∴ p( 3√2 ) = (3√2 )² – 3√2 (3√2 ) + 1
= 9 x 2 – 9 x 2 + 1
= 18 – 18 + 1
∴ p( 3√2 ) = 1

Question 3.
If p(m) = m³ + 2m² – m + 10, then P(a) + p(-a) = ?
Solution:
p(m) = m³ + 2m² – m + 10
Put m = a in the given polynomial.
∴ p(a) = a³ + 2a² – a + 10 …(i)
Put m = -a in the given polynomial.
p(-a) = (-a)³ + 2(-a)² – (-a) +10
∴ p (-a) = -a³ + 2a² + a + 10 …(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii),
p(a) + p(-a) = (a³ + 2a² – a + 10) + (-a³ + 2a² + a + 10)
= a³ – a³ + 2a² + 2a² – a + a + 10 + 10
∴ p(a) + p(-a) = 4a² + 20

Question 4.
If p(y) = 2y³ – 6y² – 5y + 7, then find p(2).
Solution:
p(y) = 2y³ – 6y² – 5y + 7
Put y = 2 in the given polynomial.
∴ p(2) = 2(2)³ – 6(2)² – 5(2) + 7
= 2 x 8 – 6 x 4 – 10 + 7
= 16 – 24 – 10 + 7
∴ P(2) = -11

Question 1.
Divide each of the following polynomials by synthetic division method and also by linear division method. Write the quotient and the remainder.
i. (2m² – 3m + 10) ÷ (m – 5)
ii. (x⁴ + 2x³ + 3x² + 4x + 5) ÷ (x + 2)
iii. (y³ – 216) ÷ (y – 6)
iv. (2x⁴ + 3x³ + 4x – 2x²) ÷ (x + 3)
v. (x⁴ – 3x² – 8) ÷ (x + 4)
vi. (y³ – 3y² + 5y – 1) ÷ (y – 1)
Solution:
i. Synthetic division:
(2m² – 3m + 10) ÷ (m – 5)
Dividend = 2m² – 3m + 10
∴ Coefficient form of dividend = (2, -3, 10)
Divisor = m – 5
∴ Opposite of -5 is 5.

Coefficient form of quotient = (2, 7)
∴ Quotient = 2m + 7,
Remainder = 45
Linear division method:
2m² – 3m + 10
To get the term 2m², multiply (m – 5) by 2m and add 10m,
= 2m(m – 5) + 10m- 3m + 10
= 2m(m – 5) + 7m + 10
To get the term 7m, multiply (m – 5) by 7 and add 35
= 2m(m – 5) + 7(m- 5) + 35+ 10
= (m – 5) (2m + 7) + 45
∴ Quotient = 2m + 7,
Remainder = 45

ii. Synthetic division:
(x⁴ + 2x³ + 3x² + 4x + 5) ÷ (x + 2)
Dividend = x⁴ + 2x³ + 3x² + 4x + 5
∴ Coefficient form of dividend = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Divisor = x + 2
∴ Opposite of + 2 is -2.

Coefficient form of quotient = (1, 0, 3, -2)
∴ Quotient = x³ + 3x – 2,
Remainder = 9

Linear division method:
x⁴ + 2x³ + 3x² + 4x + 5
To get the term x⁴, multiply (x + 2) by x³ and subtract 2x³,
= x³(x + 2) – 2x³ + 2x³ + 3x² + 4x + 5
= x³(x + 2) + 3x² + 4x + 5
To get the term 3x², multiply (x + 2) by 3x and subtract 6x,
= x³(x + 2) + 3x(x + 2) – 6x + 4x + 5
= x³(x + 2) + 3x(x + 2) – 2x + 5
To get the term -2x, multiply (x + 2) by -2 and add 4,
= x³(x + 2) + 3x(x + 2) – 2(x + 2) + 4 + 5
= (x + 2) (x3 + 3x – 2) + 9
∴ Quotient = x³ + 3x – 2,
Remainder – 9

iii. Synthetic division:
(y³ – 216) ÷ (y – 6)
Dividend = y³ – 216
∴ Index form = y³ + 0y³ + 0y – 216
∴ Coefficient form of dividend = (1, 0, 0, -216)
Divisor = y – 6
∴ Opposite of – 6 is 6.

Coefficient form of quotient = (1, 6, 36)
∴ Quotient = y² + 6y + 36,
Remainder = 0

Linear division method:
y³ – 216
To get the term y³, multiply (y – 6) by y² and add 6y²,
= y²(y – 6) + 6y² – 216
= y²(y – 6) + 6ysup>2 – 216
To get the, term 6 y² multiply (y – 6) by 6y and add 36y,
= y²(y – 6) + 6y(y – 6) + 36y – 216
= y²(y – 6) + 6y(y – 6) + 36y – 216
To get the term 36y, multiply (y- 6) by 36 and add 216,
= y² (y – 6) + 6y(y – 6) + 36(y – 6) + 216 – 216
= (y – 6) (y² + 6y + 36) + 0
Quotient = y² + 6y + 36

iv. Synthetic division:
(2x⁴ + 3x³ + 4x – 2x²) ÷ (x + 3)
Dividend = 2x⁴ + 3x³ + 4x – 2x²
∴ Index form = 2x⁴ + 3x³ – 2x² + 4x + 0
∴ Coefficient form of the dividend = (2,3, -2,4,0)
Divisor = x + 3
∴ Opposite of + 3 is -3

Coefficient form of quotient = (2, -3, 7, -17)
∴ Quotient = 2x³ – 3x² + 7x – 17,
Remainder = 51

Linear division method:
2x⁴ + 3x³ + 4x – 2x² = 2x² + 3x³ – 2x² + 4x
To get the term 2x⁴, multiply (x + 3) by 2x³ and subtract 6x³,
= 2x³(x + 31 – 6x³ + 3x³ – 2x² + 4x
= 2x³(x + 3) – 3x³ – 2x² + 4x

To get the term – 3x³, multiply (x + 3) by -3x² and add 9x²,
= 2x³(x + 3) – 3x²(x + 3) + 9x² – 2x² + 4x
= 2x³(x + 3) – 3x²(x + 3) + 7x² + 4x

To get the term 7x², multiply (x + 3) by 7x and subtract 21x,
= 2x³(x + 3) – 3x²(x + 3) + 7x(x + 3) – 21x + 4x
= 2x³(x + 3) – 3x²(x + 3) + 7x(x + 3) – 17x

To get the term -17x, multiply (x + 3) by -17 and add 51,
= 2x³(x + 3) – 3x²(x + 3) + 7x(x+3) – 17(x + 3) + 51
= (x + 3) (2x³ – 3x² + 7x- 17) + 51
∴ Quotient = 2x³ – 3x² + 7x – 17,
Remainder = 51

v. Synthetic division:
(x⁴ – 3x² – 8) + (x + 4)
Dividend = x⁴ – 3x² – 8
∴ Index form = x⁴ + 0x³ – 3x² + 0x – 8
∴ Coefficient form of the dividend = (1,0, -3,0, -8)
Divisor = x + 4
∴ Opposite of + 4 is -4

∴ Coefficient form of quotient = (1, -4, 13, -52)
∴ Quotient = x³ – 4x² + 13x – 52,
Remainder = 200

Linear division method:
x⁴ – 3x² – 8
To get the term x⁴, multiply (x + 4) by x³ and subtract 4x³,
= x³(x + 4) – 4x³ – 3x² – 8
= x³(x + 4) – 4x³ – 3x² – 8
To get the term – 4x³, multiply (x + 4) by -4x² and add 16x²,
= x³(x + 4) – 4x² (x + 4) + 16x² – 3x² – 8
= x³(x + 4) – 4x² (x + 4) + 13x² – 8
To get the term 13x², multiply (x + 4) by 13x and subtract 52x,
= x³(x + 4) – 4x²(x + 4) + 13x(x + 4) – 52x – 8
= x³(x + 4) – 4x²(x + 4) + 13x(x + 4) – 52x – 8
To get the term -52x, multiply (x + 4) by – 52 and add 208,
= x³(x + 4) – 4x²(x + 4) + 13x(x + 4) – 52(x + 4) + 208 – 8
= (x + 4) (x³ – 4x² + 13x – 52) + 200
∴ Quotient = x³ – 4x² + 13x – 52,
Remainder 200

vi. Synthetic division:
(y³ – 3y² + 5y – 1) ÷ (y – 1)
Dividend = y³ – 3y² + 5y – 1
Coefficient form of the dividend = (1, -3, 5, -1)
Divisor = y – 1
∴Opposite of -1 is 1.

∴ Coefficient form of quotient = (1, -2, 3)
∴ Quotient = y² – 2y + 3,
Remainder = 2

Linear division method:
y³ -3y² + 5y – 1
To get the term y³ , multiply (y – 1) by y² and add y²
= y² (y – 1) + y² – 3y² + 5y – 1
= y² (y – 1) – 2y² + 5y – 1
To get the term -2y², multiply (y – 1) by -2y and subtract 2y,
= y² (y – 1) – 2y(y – 1) – 2y + 5y – 1
= y² (y – 1) – 2y(y – 1) + 3y – 1
To get the term 3y, multiply (y – 1) by 3 and add 3,
= y² (y – 1) – 2y(y – 1) + 3(y- 1) + 3 – 1
= (y – 1)(y² – 2y + 3) + 2
∴ Quotient = y² – 2y + 3,
