Difference between two numbers = 642
each term of f ^xh is Positive and so first f ^xh > 0 . By division algorithm,
Hence, f ^xh is Positive for all real x. Dividen = Divisor # Quotient + Remainder
4. On dividing x3 - 3x2 + x + 2 by a polynomial g ^x h , Here, Dividend = 642 + x , divisor = x ,

explains A.
^3x + 1h ^2x - 3h = 0
x = 3/2 3. Assertion : Zeroes of f ^x h = x2 - 4x - 5 are 5, - 1
Reason : The polynomial whose zeroes are
or x =- 1/3
2 + 3 , 2 - 3 is x2 - 4x + 7 .
4. x =7
Ans : (c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.

5. ASSERTION AND REASON 4. Assertion : x2 + 4x + 5 has two zeroes.

DIRECTION : In the following questions, a statement of
assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark
the correct choice as:
5.
(a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and
reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion
(A).
Reason : A quadratic polynomial can have at the most
two zeroes.
Ans : (d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.
Assertion : If one zero of poly-nominal
p _x i = ^k2 + 4h x2 + 13x + 4k is reciprocal of other,
then k = 2 .
Reason : If ^x - a h is a factor of p ^x h , then p ^ah = 0

i.e. a is a zero of p _x i . sign then value of k is 1 .

Ans : (b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true
Reason : Sum of zeros of a quadratic polynomial
but reason (R) is not the correct explanation of
assertion (A). ax2 + bx + c is - b
a
Reason is true. Ans : (d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.
Let a, 1 be the zeroes of p ^x h , then As the polynomial is x2 - 2kx + 2 and its zeros are
a
equal but opposition sign
a $ 1 = 24k
a k +4 - ^- 2k h
sum of zeros = 0 = =0
1
1 = 24k
k +4 & 2k = 0 & k = 0
k2 - 4k + 4 = 0 So, A is incorrect but R is correct.
^k - 2h2 = 0 10. Assertion : Degree of a zero polynomial is not defined.
k =2 Reason : Degree of a non-zero constant polynomial
Assertion is true Since, Reason is not correct for is ‘0’
Assertion. Ans : (b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true
6. Assertion : P ^x h = 14x - 2x + 8x + 7x - 8 is a
3 2 4 but reason (R) is not the correct explanation of
polynomial of degree 3. assertion (A).
Reason : The highest power of x in the polynomial 11. Assertion : The graph y = f ^x h is shown in figure, for
p ^x h is the degree of the polynomial. the polynomial f ^x h . The number of zeros of f ^x h is 4.
Ans : (d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true. Reason : The number of zero of the polynomial f ^x h
The highest power of x in the polynomial p ^x h . is the number of point of which f ^x h cuts or touches
= 14x3 - 2x2 + 8x 4 + 7x - 8 is 4. the axes.
Degree of p ^x h is 4. So, A is incorrect but R is correct. Ans : (c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
7. 3
Assertion : x + x has only one real zero. As the number zero of polynomial f ^x h is the number
Reason : A polynomial of nth degree must have n real of points at which f ^x h cuts (intersects) the x -axis
zeroes. and number of zero in the given figure is 4. So A is
correct but R is incorrect.
Ans : (c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
Reason is false [a polynomial of nth degree has at
most x zeroes.]
Again, x3 + x = x ^x2 + 1h
which has only one real zero
^x = 0h [x2 + 1 ! 0 for all x e R]
Assertion is true.

8. Assertion : The sum and product of the zeros of a

quadratic polynomial are - 1 and 1 respectively.
4 4
Then the quadratic polynomial is 4x2 + x + 1.
Reason : The quadratic polynomial whose sum and
product of zeros are given is x2 -(sum of zeros). x +
product of zeros.
Ans : (a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true
and reason (R) is the correct explanation of
assertion (A).
