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

OR Consider an equilateral ABC. Then, ABC = BCA = CAB = 60° and AB = BC = CA = 2a (say) Now, draw AD BC.
Comparing ABD and ACD, we have: ADB = ADC = 90 [By construction] AB = AC [Sides of equilateral triangle] AD = AD [Common] ABD ACD [By RHS congruency axiom] BD = DC [CPCT] BC 2a BD a 2 2
CBSE X Mathematics 2009 Solution (SET 2) On applying Pythagoras’ Theorem in ABD, we get:

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.

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 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
CBSE X Mathematics 2009 Solution (SET 2) 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.
