In polynomial division Degree of remainder is:
Answer: C. Less than divisor
By the division algorithm, deg(remainder) < deg(divisor).
If (x−2) is factor of f(x), then f(2)=
Answer: B. 0
Factor theorem: (x−2) factor ⇒ f(2)=0.
In signal processing, P(x) represents a signal. If P(−1)=0, then the signal has:
Answer: A. A zero at x=−1
P(−1)=0 means x=−1 is a root, i.e. a zero of P.
Remainder of f(x)=x³−2 when divided by (x−1) is:
Answer: B. −1
f(1)=1−2=−1 (Remainder theorem).
Which one of the following is a factor of x³−6x²+11x−6?
Answer: B. x−1
f(1)=1−6+11−6=0 ⇒ (x−1) is a factor.
If the roots of the equation px² + qx + r = 0 are multiplicative inverse of each other then which condition holds?
Answer: A. p = r
Product of roots = r/p. If roots are reciprocals of each other, their product is 1, so r/p = 1 ⇒ p = r.
Find all roots of: f(x)=x³−3x²−4x+12 by Factor theorem.
f(2)=8−12−8+12=0 ⇒ (x−2) is a factor
Synthetic division: depressed equation x²−x−6=0=(x−3)(x+2)
Roots: x = 2, 3, −2
If P(x)=2x³+x²−13x+6, then (a) Verify that (x+3) is a factor of P(x). (b) Factorize P(x) using synthetic division. (c) Find all the roots of P(x). (d) Write complete factorized form of P(x) and confirm by expanding.
(a) P(−3)=2(−27)+9+39+6=−54+9+39+6=0 ⇒ (x+3) is a factor.
(b) Synthetic division of 2,1,−13,6 by −3: → 2,−5,2,0 (remainder 0). Depressed: 2x²−5x+2=0
(c) 2x²−5x+2=0 ⇒ discriminant=25−16=9 ⇒ x=(5±3)/4 = 2 or 1/2
Roots: x = −3, 2, 1/2
(d) P(x) = (x+3)(2x−1)(x−2)
Expand: (x+3)(2x²−5x+2) = 2x³−5x²+2x+6x²−15x+6 = 2x³+x²−13x+6 ✓
