Using the Factor Theorem to determine whether g(x) is a factor of p(x) in the following case (i) p(x) = 2x³+x²–2x–1, g(x) = x+1

Solution p(x) = 2x³+x²–2x–1, g(x) = x+1g(x) = 0⇒ x+1 = 0⇒ x = −1∴Zero of g(x) is -1.Now,p(−1) = 2(−1)³+(−1)²–2(−1)–1= −2+1+2−1= 0∴By the given factor theorem, g(x) is a factor of p(x).

A moving train passes a platform 50 metres long in 14 seconds and a lamp-post in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is

(1) 24 km/hr. (2) 36 km/hr. (3) 40 km/hr. (4)45 km/hr. Solution: ⇒Suppose length of train be x  According to question x+50/14= x/10 ⇒ 14x = 10x+500 ⇒ 4x= 500 ⇒ x= 500/4=125m Therefore, speed = 125/10*18/5= 45kmph

The length of a rectangle is less than twice its breadth by 1 cm. The length of its diagonal is 17 cm. Find its length and breadth A. 15 cm, 8 cm B. 13 cm, 4 cm C. 10 cm, 6 cm D. 8 cm, 9 cm

Solution L = 2B – 1, Diagonal = 17. D² = L²+ B²⇒ 289 = (2B –1)²+ B²⇒ B = 8 & L = 15.Also 8, 15, 17 is a Pythagorean triplet.So answer can be reached directly.
