Question 5:

Give examples of polynomial p(x), g(x), q(x) and r(x), which satisfy the division algorithm and

  1. deg p(x) = deg q(x)
  2. deg q(x) = deg r(x)
  3. deg r(x) = 0

Answer:

According to the division algorithm, if p(x) and g(x) are two polynomials with g(x) ≠ 0, then we can find polynomials q(x) and r(x) such that

p(x) = g(x) × q(x) + r(x),

where r(x) = 0 or degree of r(x) < degree of g(x)

Degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in the polynomial.

  1. deg p(x) = deg q(x)

Degree of quotient will be equal to degree of dividend when divisor is constant ( i.e., when any polynomial is divided by a constant).

Let us assume the division of by 2.

Here,

g(x) = 2

Degree of p(x) and q(x) is the same i.e., 2. Checking for division algorithm,

p(x) = g(x) × q(x) + r(x)

Thus, the division algorithm is satisfied.

  1. deg q(x) = deg r(x)

Let us assume the division of

Here,

h2n AdJjODJXMnfQoP MOMT1k8RMCSMlTKKsulxMn8rMvzuiKh Z92Ps37 76esEE8zReTdhBe8kcFUAoPuAkhsaJSXk

Clearly, the degree of q(x) and r(x) is the same i.e., 1. Checking for division algorithm,

LUK9HDYXIrSRlgmeJr M2pcgB9QNfmBAR7WSdXBtZ7rGu E39WAYjaGPJmoxj6 DVKiyRm7PTl2r7j3kqw0Hwf9fbKsqA2M7QbWCBNRP3bRxZo7VEhia0JPZKqw5 a fQ3sPTs8

Thus, the division algorithm is satisfied. (iii)deg r(x) = 0

Degree of remainder will be 0 when remainder comes to a constant. Let us assume the division of x3 + 1by x2.

Here, p(x) = x3 + 1 g(x) = x2

q(x) = x and r(x) = 1

Clearly, the degree of r(x) is 0. Checking for division algorithm, p(x) = g(x) × q(x) + r(x)

x3 + 1 = (x2 ) × x + 1 x3 + 1 = x3 + 1

Thus, the division algorithm is satisfied.

If the polynomialis divided by another polynomial         the remainder comes out to be x + a, find k and a.

Answer:

By division algorithm,

Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder

Dividend − Remainder = Divisor × Quotient
