Solution:
p(0) = 03 = 0
p(1) = 13 = 1
p(2) = 23 = 8

iv) p(t) = (t – 1)(t + 1) = t2 – 1
Solution:
p(0) = (0 – 1) (0 + 1) = – 1
p(1) = t2 – 1 = 12 – 1 = 0
p(2) = 22 – 1 = 4 – 1 = 3

v) p(x) = x2 – 3x + 2
Solution:
p(0) = 02 – 3(0) + 2 = 2
p(1) = 12 – 3(1) + 2 = 1 – 3 + 2 = 0
p(2) = 22 – 3(2) + 2 = 4- 6 + 2 = 0

Question 3.
Verify whether the values of x given in each case are the zeroes of the polynomial or not ?
i) p(x) = 2x + 1; x = \(\frac{-1}{2}\)
Solution:
The value of p(x) at x = \(\frac{-1}{2}\) is
\(\mathrm{p}\left(\frac{-1}{2}\right)=2\left(\frac{-1}{2}\right)+1\)
= -1 + 1 = 0
∴ x = \(\frac{-1}{2}\) is a zero of p(x).

(ii) p(x) = 5x – π ; x = \(\frac{-3}{2}\)
Solution:
The value of p(x) at x = \(\frac{-3}{2}\) is
\(\mathrm{p}\left(\frac{-3}{2}\right)=5\left(\frac{-3}{2}\right)-\pi=\frac{-15}{2}-\pi \neq 0\)
∴ x = \(\frac{-3}{2}\) is not a zero of p(x).

iii) p(x) = x2 – 1; x = ±1
Solution:
The value of p(x) at x = 1 and – 1 is
p(1) = 12 – 1 = 0
p(-1) = (-1)2 -1 = 0
∴ x = ±1 is a zero of p(x).

iv) p(x) = (x – 1) (x + 2); x = – 1, – 2
Solution:
The value of p(x) at x = – 1 is
p(-1) = (-1 – 1) (-1 + 2)
=-2 x 1 =-2 ≠ 0
Hence x = – 1 is not a zero of p(x).
And the value of p(x) at x = – 2 is
p (- 2) = (- 2 – 1) (- 2 + 2) = – 3 x 0 = 0
Hence, x = – 2 is a zero of p(x).

v) p(y) = y2; y = o
Solution:
The value of p(y) at y = 0 is p(0) = 02 = 0
Hence y = 0 is a zero of p(y).

vi) p(x) = ax + b ; x = \(\frac{-\mathbf{b}}{\mathbf{a}}\)
Solution:
The value of p(x) at x = \(\frac{-\mathbf{b}}{\mathbf{a}}\) is
\(\mathrm{p}\left(\frac{-\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{a}}\right)=\mathrm{a}\left(\frac{-\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{a}}\right)+\mathrm{b}\)
= -b + b = 0
∴ x = \(\frac{-\mathbf{b}}{\mathbf{a}}\) is a zero of p(x).

vii) f(x) = 3x2 – 1; x = \(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{3}}, \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\)

Question 5.
If 2 is a zero of the polynomial p(x) = 2x2 – 3x + 7a, find the value of
a.
Solution:
Given that 2 is a zero of p(x) = 2x2 – 3x + 7a
(i.e.) p(2) = 0
⇒ 2(2)2 – 3(2) + 7a = 0
⇒ 8 – 6 + 7a = 0
⇒ 2 + 7a = 0
⇒ 7a = – 2
⇒ a = \(\frac{-2}{7}\)

Question 6.
If 0 and 1 are the zeroes of the polynomial f(x) = 2x3 – 3x2 + ax + b, find the values of a and b.
Solution:
Given that f(0) = 0; f(1) = 0 and
f(x) = 2x3 – 3x2 + ax + b
∴ f(0) = 2(0)3 – 3(0)2 + a(0) + b
⇒ 0 = b
Also f(1) = 0
⇒ 2(1)3 – 3(1)2 + a(1) + 0 = 0
⇒ 2 – 3 + a = 0 .
⇒ a = 1
Hence a = 1; b = 0
