Find all the zeroes of the polynomial x3 + 3x2 – 2x – 6, if two of its zeroes are 2 and 2 . Solution: The given polynomial is p( x)

x3 3x 2 2 x 6 .

It is given that 2 and 2 are the two zeroes of p(x). 2) and ( x 2) are the factors of p(x). Thus, ( x This means, ( x

p(x) = (x2 – 2) (x + 3) As (x + 3) is a factor of the polynomial p(x), so x = –3 is a zero of the polynomial. Thus, –3 is the third zero of the given polynomial. Thus, the three zeroes of p( x)

Which term of the A.P. 3, 15, 27, 39… will be 120 more than its 21st term?

Solution: First term, a = 3 Common difference, d = 15 – 3 = 12

CBSE X Mathematics 2009 Solution (SET 1) The nth term of an A.P. is given by an = a + (n – 1) d. 21st term of the A.P. (a21) = 3 + (21 – 1) 12 a21 = 3 + (20 × 12) = 3 + 240 = 243 Let the rth term of the A.P. be 120 more than the 21st term of the A.P. ar = a21 + 120 ar = 243 + 120 ar = 363 Now, ar = a + (r –1) d 363 = 3 + (r – 1) 12 360 = (r – 1) 12 r – 1 = 30 r = 31 Thus, the 31st term of the given A.P. is 120 more than the 21st term of the A.P.

If the points A (4, 3) and B (x, 5) are on the circle with the centre O (2, 3), find the value of x. Solution: If the points A (4, 3) and B (x, 5) are on the circle with the centre O (2, 3), then OA and OB will be the radii of the circle. OA = OB OA2 = OB2 (4 – 2)2 + (3 – 3)2 = (x – 2)2 + (5 – 3)2 [Using distance formula] 2 2 2 2 2 + 0 = (x – 2) + 2 0 = (x – 2)2 x–2=0 x=2 Thus, the required value of x is 2.
