  1. Divide p(x) by g(x), where p(x) = x + 3x2 – 1 and g(x) = 1 + x.

  2. Write the dividend x + 3x2 – 1 and the divisor 1 + x in the standard form, i.e., after arranging the terms in the descending order of their degrees. So, the + x –1 and divisor is x + 1. dividend is 3x2

  3. We divide the first term of the dividend by the first term of the divisor, i.e., we divide 3x 2 by x, and get 3x. This gives us the first term of the quotient. i.e. 3x

  4. We multiply the divisor by the first term of the quotient, and subtract this product from the dividend, i.e., we multiply x + 1 by 3x and subtract the product 3x2 + 3x from the dividend 3x2 + x – 1. This gives us the remainder as –2x – 1.

  5. We treat the remainder –2x – 1 as the new dividend. The divisor remains the same. We repeat Step 2 to get the next term of the quotient, i.e., we divide the first term – 2x of the (new) dividend by the first term x of the divisor and obtain – 2. Thus, – 2 is the second term in the quotient.

  6. We multiply the divisor by the second term of the quotient and subtract the product from the dividend. That is, we multiply x + 1 by – 2 and subtract the product – 2x – 2 from the dividend – 2x – 1. This gives us 1 as the remainder.

  7. This process continues till the remainder is 0 or the degree of the new dividend is less than the degree of the divisor. At this stage, this new dividend becomes the remainder and the sum of the quotients gives us the whole quotient.

  8. Thus, the quotient in full is 3x – 2 and the remainder is 1.

long division method
  1. Let p(x) be any polynomial of degree greater than or equal to one and let a be any real number. If p(x) is divided by the linear polynomial x – a, then the remainder is p(a).

  2. If p(x) is a polynomial of degree n > 1 and a is any real number, then (i) x – a is a factor of p(x), if p(a) = 0, and (ii) p(a) = 0, if x – a is a factor of p(x).

  3. (x + y + z)2 = x2 + y2 + z2 + 2xy + 2yz + 2zx

  5. (x - y)3 = x3 - y3 - 3 xy (x - y)

  6. x3 + y3 + z3 – 3xyz = (x + y + z) (x2 + y2 + z2 – xy – yz – zx)

Q.Examine whether x + 2 is a factor of x3 + 3x2 + 5x + 6 and of 2x+4.


  1. x+2 gives a=-2. and so we can calculate P(-2)

  2. P(-2) = 0


Ans.


  1. A straight line may be drawn from any one point to any other point.

  2. Given two distinct points, there is a unique line that passes through them

  3. A terminated line can be produced indefinitely.

  4. A circle can be drawn with any centre and any radius

  5. All right angles are equal to one another.

  6. If a straight line falling on two straight lines makes the interior angles on the same side of it taken together less than two right angles, then the two straight lines, if produced indefinitely, meet on that side on which the sum of angles is less than two right angles.

  7. For example, the line PQ in Fig. below falls on lines AB and CD such that the sum of the interior angles 1 and 2 is less than 180° on the left side of PQ. Therefore, the lines AB and CD will eventually intersect on the left side of PQ.
