If p(x) a polynomial divided by a divisor g(x) of order 1(ex. x-a)
And r(x) be the remainder then we can write
P(x)=g(x).q(x) +r(x)
P(x)= (x-a).q(x) + r(x)
P(a)=r(a)
Since g(x) is order of 1 hence r(x) will be order of zero(N.B: the order of remainder is
always less than divisor.)
Since the order of r(x) is zero hence it is constant.
Suppose r(a)= r
Therefore p(a)= r
Q. On dividing the polynomial 4x² - 5x² - 39x² - 46x –
2 by the polynomial g(x) the quotient is x² - 3x – 5
and the remainder is -5x + 8.Find the polynomial
g(x).

Ans: p(x) = g(x).q(x)+r(x)

let p(x) = 4x4 – 5x³ – 39x²– 46x – 2

q(x) = x²– 3x – 5 and r (x) = -5x + 8

now p(x) – r(x) = g(x).q(x)

4x² - 5x² - 39x² - 46x – 2 –(-5x+8)= (x² - 3x – 5 ).g(x)
∴ g(x) = 4x2 + 7x + 2
Q. If the squared difference of the zeros of the quadratic
polynomial x² + px + 45 is equal to 144 , find the value of p.

Ans: Let two zeros are α and β where α > β

According given condition
(α - β)2 = 144
Let p(x) = x² + px + 45
α+β=−p

αβ = 45
now (α + β)² = (α - β)² + 4 αβ
(-P)² = 144 +180=324
Solving this we get p = ± 18
Q. If α & ß are the zeroes of the polynomial
2x² ─ 4x + 5, then find the value of
a. α² + ß² b. 1/ α + 1/ ß c. (α ─ ß)² d.
1/α² + 1/ß² e. α² + ß²
Q. Obtain all the zeros of the polynomial p(x) =
3x4 ─ 15x³ + 17x² +5x ─6 if two zeroes are
─1/√3 and 1/√3
Q. If one zero of the polynomial 3x² - 8x +2k+1
is seven times the other, find the zeros and
the value of k
Q.If two zeros of the polynomial f(x) = x4 - 6x3
- 26x2 + 138x – 35 are 2±√3.Find the other
zeros.
Q. Find all zeroes of f(x) = 3x4+6x³-2x²-10x-5, if two of its zeroes are
√ 5/3 and -√5/3.

Since √ 5/3 and -√5/3.

are zeroes of f(x). Therefore (x- √ 5/3 )(x+-√5/3) = (x²- 5/3) is a factor
of f(x).
After dividing f(x) by (x²- 5/3), we get
As (x²+2x+1) = (x+1)²

Therefore for obtaining other

zeroes of f(x) ,we put (x+1)² =
0 ,

Therefore x= -1 and -1

Hence zeroes of f(x) is are

√ 5/3 and -√5/3.
1 and -1.
Alternative Method:
Say the other roots are α and β
Therefore √ 5/3 -√5/3+α +β=-6/3=-2
α +β=-2……………….(i)
Again√ 5/3 (-√5/3).α.β=-5/3

α.β=5/3
Using the algebraic identity α -β=………….… (ii)
Solving (i) and (ii) we can find the other two roots
Find zeros third degree polynomial equation, x³ - 2x² + 2x - 1 = 0

Let P(x) = , x³ - 2x² + 2x – 1

P(1) = (1)3 - 2(1)2 + 2(1) - 1 = 0
Since P(1) = 0, x - 1 is the factor of P(x).
Long Division Method:

 x3 - 2x2 + 2x - 1 = (x - 1)(x2 + 6x + 5)
 x2 + 6x + 5 = x2 + 5x + x + 5

= x(x + 5) + (x + 5)

= (x + 1)(x + 5)
 x3 - 2x2 + 2x - 1 = (x - 1)(x + 1)(x + 5) = 0

Hence Zeros of the cubic equation are 1, -

1, -5.
Question :
If two zeroes of the polynomial are find other
zeros

= x² + 4 − 4x − 3
= x² − 4x + 1 is a factor of the given
polynomial
For finding the remaining zeroes of the given
polynomial, we will find the quotient by
dividing
 = =
Or x = 7 or −5
Hence, 7 and −5 are also zeroes of this polynomial.
