axis. Graph of y = p(x) intersects the X-axis at 4 points. Therefore, the polynomial p(x) has 4 zeroes

3] Range is not a measure of central tendency.

24] The system has infinitely many solutions:

 Equating (1) and (2), we get a = 5b

Equating (2) and (3), we get 2a - 4b = 6

On solving, we get b = 1 and a = 5.

25] If a and b are one two positive integers. Then a = bq + r, 0 r b Let b = 3 Therefore, r = 0, 1, 2
Therefore, a = 3q or a = 3q + 1 or a = 3q + 2 If a = 3q a2 = 9q2 = 3(3q2) = 3m or
where m = 3q2 a = 3q + 1 a2 = 9q2 + 6q + 1 = 3(3q2 + 2q) + 1 = 3m + 1 where m = 3q2 + 2q or a = 3q +
2 a2 = 9q2 + 12q + 4 = 3(3q2 + 4q + 1) + 1

= 3m + 1, where m 3q2 + 4q + 1

28] Basic proportionality theorem

Statement If a line is drawn parallel of one side of a triangle to intersect the other two sides in
distinct points, the other two sides are divided in the same ratio.

Given:A triangle ABC in which a line parallel to side BC intersects other two sides AB and AC
at D and E respectively (see fig.)
 To prove that

Construction: Let us join BE and CD and then draw DM AC and EN AB.

Proof:

Now, area of

Note that BDE and DEC are on the same base DE and between the same parallels BC and DE.

So, ar(BDE) = ar(DEG)

Therefore, from (1), (2) and (3), we have :

Hence proved.

OR

Pythagoras Theorem : Statement:In a right angled triangle,the square of the hypotenuse is equal to
the sum of squares of the other two sides.

Given: A right triangle ABC right angled at B.

To prove: that AC2 = AB2 + BC2

Construction:Let us draw BD AC (See fig.)

Proof :
 Now, ADB ABC (Using Theorem: If a perpendicular is drawn from the vertex of the right
angle of a right triangle to the hypotenuse ,then triangles on both sides of the perpendicular are
similar to the whole triangle and to each other)

So, (Sides are proportional)

Or, AD.AC = AB2 (1)

Also, BDC ABC (Theorem)

So,

Or, CD. AC = BC2

Adding (1) and (2),

AD. AC + CD. AC = AB2 + BC2

OR, AC (AD + CD) = AB2 + BC2

OR, AC.AC = AB2 + BC2

OR, AC2 = AB2 + BC2

Hence proved.

30] Let p(x) = x3 - 6x2 - 15x + 80

Let say that we subtracted ax + b so that it is exactly divisible by

x2 + x - 12

s(x) = x3 - 6x2 - 15x + 80 - (ax + b)

= x3 - 6x2 - (15 + a)x + (80 - b)

Dividend = Divisor x Quotient + Remainder

But remainder = 0

\\ Dividend = Divisor x Quotient

s(x) = (x2 + x -12) x quotient

s(x) = x3 - 6x2 - (15 + a)x + (80 - b)

x (x2 + x - 12) - 7(x2 + x - 12)

= x3 + x2 - 7x2 - 12x - 7x + 84

= x3 - 6x2 - 19x + 84

Hence, x3 - 6x2 - 19x + 84 = x3 - 6x2 - (15 + a)x + (80 - b)

-15 - a = - 19 Þ a = +4

and 80 - b = 84 Þ b = -4

Hence if in p(x) we subtracted 4x - 4 then it is exactly divisible by

x2 + x -12.
