Dividend Divisor
(i) 14x2 + 13x − 15 7x − 4
(ii) 15z3 − 20z2 + 13z − 12 3z − 6
(iii) 6y5 − 28y3 + 3y2 + 30y − 9 2y2 − 6

(vii) 6y5 + 4y4 + 4y3 + 7y2 + 27y + 6 2y3 + 1

Answer:

(i)

Quotient = 2x + 3
Remainder = -3
Divisor = 7x - 4
Divisor × Quotient + Remainder = (7x - 4) (2x + 3) - ​3 
                                                = 14x+ 21- 8- 12 - ​3 
                                                = 14x2 + 13x - 15
                                                = Dividend
Thus,
Divisor × Quotient + Remainder = Dividend
Hence verified.

(ii)

Quotient = 5z2+103z+11Remainder = 54Divisor = 3z-6Divisor × Quotient +Remainder = (3z-6) 5z2+103z+11+54                                                           = 15z3+10z2+33z-30z2-20z-66+54                                                           = 15z3-20z2+13z-12                                                           = DividendThus,Divisor × Quotient + Remainder = Dividend                                                            
Hence verified.

(iii)


Quotient = 3y3-5y+32
Remainder = 0
Divisor = 2y2 - 6
Divisor × Quotient + Remainder =
(2y2-6) 3y3-5y+32+0=6y5-10y3+3y2-18y3+30y-9=6y5-28 y3+3y2+30y-9
= Dividend
 
Thus, Divisor × Quotient + Remainder = Dividend
Hence verified.

(iv)

Quotient  = - 4x3 + 2x2 - 8x + 30
Remainder  = - 285 
Divisor  = 3x + 7
Divisor × Quotient + Remainder =  (3x + 7) (- 4x3 + 2x2 - 8x + 30) - 285 
                                                 = - 12x4 + 6x3 - 24x2 + 90- 28x3 + 14x2 - 56x + 210 - ​285
                                                 = - 12x 4 - 22x3 - 10x2 + 34x - 75
                                                 =  Dividend
Thus,
Divisor × Quotient + Remainder = Dividend
Hence verified.

(v)


Quotient =  5y3-2y2+53y
Remainder =  6
Divisor = 3y - 2
Divisor × Quotient  + Remainder = (3y - 2) (5y3 - 2y2 53y) + 6
                                                = 15y4-6y3+5y2-10y3+4y2-103y+6
                                                = 15y4-16y3+9y2-103y+6
                                                =  Dividend
Thus,
Divisor × Quotient + Remainder = Dividend
Hence verified.

(vi)

Quotient =  2y + 5
Remainder =  11y + 2
Divisor =  2y2 - y + 1
Divisor × Quotient + Remainder =  (2y2 - y + 1) (2y + 5)11y + 2
                                                =  4y3 +10y2 - 2y2 - 5y + 2y + 5 + 11y + 2
                                                =  4y3 + 8y2 + 8y + 7
                                                =  Dividend
Thus,
Divisor × Quotient + Remainder  = Dividend
Hence verified.

(vii)




Quotient = 3y2 + 2y + 2
Remainder = 4y2 + 25y + 4
Divisor = 2y3 + 1
Divisor × Quotient + Remainder = (2y3 + 1) (3y2 2y + 2)4y225y + 4
                                                = 6y54y44y33y22y + 4y225y + 4
                                                6y54y44y37y227y + 6
                                                = Dividend
Thus,
Divisor × Quotient + Remainder = Dividend
Hence verified.

Question 22:

Divide 15y4 + 16y3 + 103y − 9y2 − 6 by 3y − 2. Write down the coefficients of the terms in the quotient.

Answer:


 Quotient = 
5y3 + (26/3)y2 + (25/9)y + (80/27)
Remainder = (- 2/27)
Coefficient of y3 = 5
Coefficient
 of y2 = (26/3)
Coefficient of y = (25/9)
Constant = (80/27)

Question 23:

Using division of polynomials, state whether
(i) x + 6 is a factor of  x2x − 42
(ii) 4x − 1 is a factor of 4x2 − 13x − 12
(iii) 2y − 5 is a factor of 4y4 − 10y3 − 10y2 + 30y − 15
(iv) 3y2 + 5 is a factor of 6y5 + 15y4 + 16y3 + 4y2 + 10y − 35
(v) z2 + 3 is a factor of z5 − 9z
(vi) 2x2x + 3 is a factor of 6x5x4 + 4x3 − 5x2x − 15

Answer:

(i)

Remainder is zero. Hence (x+6) is a factor of x2 -x-42
(ii)

As the remainder is non zero . Hence ( 4x-1) is not a factor of 4x2 -13x-12



(iii)




 The remainder is non zero,
 2y - 5 is not a factor of 4y4-10y3-10y2+30y-15.

(iv)

Remainder is zero.  Therefore, 3y2 + 5 is a factor of 6y5+15y4+16y3+4y2+10y-35.


(v)

Remainder is zero; therefore, z2 + 3 is a factor of z5 -9z.

(vi)



Remainder is zero ; therefore, 2x2-x+3 is a factor of 6x5-x4 +4x3-5x2-x-15.

(iv) x4-x3+5xx-1=x3(x-1)+5(x-1)+5x-1=(x-1)(x3+5)+5x-1=(x3+5)+5x-1Therefore, quotient = x3+5 and remainder = 5.
(v) y4+y2y2-2=y2(y2-2)+3(y2-2)+6y2-2=(y2-2)(y2+3)+6y2-2=(y2+3)+6y2-2Therefore, quotient = y2+3 and remainder = 6.

(i) 2x2+5x+4x+1=2x(x+1)+3(x+1)+1x+1=(x+1)(2x+3)+1(x+1)=(2x+3)+1x+1 Remainder=1Therefore, (x+1) is not a  factor of 2x2+5x+4

(ii) 3y3+5y2+5y+2y-2=3y2(y-2)+11y(y-2)+27(y-2)+56y-2=(y-2)(3y2+11y+27)+56y-2=(3y2+11y+27)+56y-2 Remainder = 56 (y-2) is not a factor of 3y3+5y2+5y+2.
