Find the zeroes of the polynomial p(x).

📊 Graph Visualization

x y (-6,0) (0,-30) (4,-20) (6,0)

Complete Solution

Understanding Zeroes:

The zeroes of a polynomial are the x-values where p(x) = 0.

These are the points where the graph intersects the x-axis (where y = 0).

Identifying from Given Points:

Looking at the given points:

  • Point (-6, 0): Here y = 0, so x = -6 is a zero
  • Point (0, -30): Here y ≠ 0, so not a zero
  • Point (4, -20): Here y ≠ 0, so not a zero
  • Point (6, 0): Here y = 0, so x = 6 is a zero

✓ Answer:

The zeroes of p(x) are -6 and 6

2

Finding a Polynomial with Irrational Zeroes

Find a quadratic polynomial having zeroes:

α = -52 and β = 52

Complete Solution

Formula:

If α and β are the zeroes, then the quadratic polynomial is:

p(x) = k[x² - (α + β)x + αβ]

Step 1: Find Sum of Zeroes

α + β = -52 + 52 = 0

Step 2: Find Product of Zeroes

αβ = (-52)(52)

= -52

Step 3: Form the Polynomial (taking k = 2)

p(x) = 2[x² - 0·x + (-52)]

= 2[x² - 52]

= 2x² - 5

✓ Answer:

The required polynomial is 2x² - 5

(or any non-zero multiple like 4x² - 10, etc.)

3

Polynomial from Given Sum and Product

Find a quadratic polynomial whose:

  • Sum of zeroes = -5
  • Product of zeroes = 6

Complete Solution

Given Information:

Sum of zeroes = α + β = -5

Product of zeroes = αβ = 6

Formula:

For a quadratic polynomial with zeroes α and β:

p(x) = k[x² - (sum of zeroes)x + (product of zeroes)]

Solution (taking k = 1):

p(x) = x² - (-5)x + 6

p(x) = x² + 5x + 6

Verification (Factorization):

x² + 5x + 6 = (x + 2)(x + 3)

Zeroes are -2 and -3

Sum = -2 + (-3) = -5

Product = (-2)(-3) = 6

✓ Answer:

The required polynomial is x² + 5x + 6

4

Finding Zeroes by Factorization

Find the zeroes of the polynomial:

p(x) = 3x² + 11x - 4

Complete Solution

Method: Factorization by Splitting the Middle Term

Given: 3x² + 11x - 4 = 0

Step 1: Find two numbers whose:

  • Product = 3 × (-4) = -12
  • Sum = 11

The numbers are 12 and -1

(Because: 12 × (-1) = -12 and 12 + (-1) = 11)

Step 2: Split the middle term

3x² + 11x - 4 = 3x² + 12x - x - 4

Step 3: Group and factor

= 3x(x + 4) - 1(x + 4)

= (3x - 1)(x + 4)

Step 4: Find zeroes

Setting p(x) = 0:

(3x - 1)(x + 4) = 0

Either 3x - 1 = 0 or x + 4 = 0

x = 13 or x = -4

✓ Answer:

The zeroes are 13 and -4

5

Evaluating Reciprocal Sum of Zeroes

If α and β are the zeroes of the polynomial:

p(x) = 2x² + 6x - 6

Find the value of 1α + 1β

Complete Solution

Given Polynomial:

p(x) = 2x² + 6x - 6

Comparing with ax² + bx + c:

a = 2, b = 6, c = -6

Step 1: Use relationships between zeroes and coefficients

Sum of zeroes: α + β = -ba = -62 = -3

Product of zeroes: αβ = ca = -62 = -3

Step 2: Simplify the required expression

1α + 1β = β + ααβ = α + βαβ

Step 3: Substitute values

1α + 1β = -3-3 = 1

✓ Answer:

1α + 1β = 1

6

Constructing Polynomial with Transformed Zeroes

If α and β are zeroes of the polynomial:

x² - 3x + 2

Construct a polynomial whose zeroes are 2α + 1 and 2β + 1

Complete Solution

Given Polynomial:

x² - 3x + 2

Step 1: Find relationships for original zeroes

Sum of zeroes: α + β = 3

Product of zeroes: αβ = 2

Step 2: Find sum of new zeroes

(2α + 1) + (2β + 1) = 2α + 2β + 2

= 2(α + β) + 2

= 2(3) + 2 = 8

Step 3: Find product of new zeroes

(2α + 1)(2β + 1) = 4αβ + 2α + 2β + 1

= 4αβ + 2(α + β) + 1

= 4(2) + 2(3) + 1

= 8 + 6 + 1 = 15

Step 4: Construct the required polynomial

Using the formula:

p(x) = x² - (sum of zeroes)x + (product of zeroes)

p(x) = x² - 8x + 15

Verification:

Original zeroes: α = 1, β = 2 (from x² - 3x + 2 = (x-1)(x-2))

New zeroes: 2(1)+1 = 3, 2(2)+1 = 5

Check: x² - 8x + 15 = (x-3)(x-5)

✓ Answer:

The required polynomial is x² - 8x + 15

7

Polynomial with Given Sum and Product

Find a quadratic polynomial whose sum and product of zeroes are:

  • Sum of zeroes = 0
  • Product of zeroes = -9

Also find the zeroes of the polynomial.

Complete Solution

Given Information:

Sum of zeroes: α + β = 0

Product of zeroes: αβ = -9

Part 1: Construct the Polynomial

Using the formula:

p(x) = k[x² - (α + β)x + αβ]

Taking k = 1:

p(x) = x² - 0·x + (-9)

p(x) = x² - 9

Part 2: Find the Zeroes

Setting p(x) = 0:

x² - 9 = 0

This is a difference of squares:

(x - 3)(x + 3) = 0

Therefore:

x = 3 or x = -3

Verification:

Sum: 3 + (-3) = 0

Product: 3 × (-3) = -9

✓ Answer:

Polynomial: x² - 9

Zeroes: 3 and -3

Mathematics Problem Worksheet

Class X | Quadratic Equations & Applications

Instructions: Attempt each problem independently first. Click the "Show Solution" button to verify your answer. Diagrams are provided where applicable.

1

Finding Two Positive Numbers

The difference of the squares of two positive numbers is 180. The square of the smaller number is 8 times the greater number.

Find the two numbers.

Solution

Let the greater number be x and the smaller number be y.

Given: x² - y² = 180 ... (1)

Also: y² = 8x ... (2)

Substituting (2) in (1):

x² - 8x = 180

x² - 8x - 180 = 0

(x - 18)(x + 10) = 0

x = 18 or x = -10 (rejected, as x is positive)

From (2): y² = 8 × 18 = 144

y = 12

Answer: The two numbers are 18 and 12.

2

Quadratic Equation Coefficients

Express x + 1x = 3 as a quadratic equation in the form ax² + bx + c = 0.

Find the value of a - b + c.

Solution

Given: x + 1x = 3

Multiplying both sides by x:

x² + 1 = 3x

x² - 3x + 1 = 0

Comparing with ax² + bx + c = 0:

a = 1, b = -3, c = 1

Therefore: a - b + c = 1 - (-3) + 1 = 1 + 3 + 1 = 5

Answer: a - b + c = 5

3

Rectangular Field Dimensions

The diagonal of a rectangular field is 60 m more than the shorter side. If the longer side is 30 m more than the shorter side.

Find the length of the sides.

📐 Diagram: Rectangular Field

x + 30 m (longer side) x m x + 60 m (diagonal)

Solution

Let the shorter side = x m

Then: Longer side = (x + 30) m, Diagonal = (x + 60) m

By Pythagoras theorem:

x² + (x + 30)² = (x + 60)²

x² + x² + 60x + 900 = x² + 120x + 3600

x² - 60x - 2700 = 0

(x - 90)(x + 30) = 0

x = 90 (rejecting negative value)

Shorter side = 90 m, Longer side = 90 + 30 = 120 m

Answer: Shorter side = 90 m, Longer side = 120 m

4

Fraction Problem

The denominator of a fraction is 2 more than the numerator. If 2 is added to both the numerator and denominator, the sum of the new and original fractions is 4635.

Find the original fraction.

Solution

Let the numerator = x

Then denominator = x + 2

Original fraction = xx + 2

New fraction = x + 2x + 4

Given: xx + 2 + x + 2x + 4 = 4635

Solving: 35[x(x+4) + (x+2)²] = 46(x+2)(x+4)

35[x² + 4x + x² + 4x + 4] = 46[x² + 6x + 8]

70x² + 280x + 140 = 46x² + 276x + 368

24x² + 4x - 228 = 0

6x² + x - 57 = 0

(6x + 19)(x - 3) = 0

x = 3 (rejecting negative value)

Answer: The original fraction is 35

5

Age Problem

Sourav's age is 3 years more than the square of Ravi's age. When Ravi reaches Sourav's current age, Sourav will be 6 years less than 13 times Ravi's current age.

Find their present ages.

Solution

Let Ravi's present age = x years

Then Sourav's present age = x² + 3 years

Years until Ravi reaches Sourav's current age = (x² + 3) - x = x² - x + 3

Sourav's age at that time = (x² + 3) + (x² - x + 3) = 2x² - x + 6

Given: 2x² - x + 6 = 13x - 6

2x² - 14x + 12 = 0

x² - 7x + 6 = 0

(x - 6)(x - 1) = 0

x = 6 or x = 1

If x = 1, Sourav = 4, but Ravi reaching age 4 in 3 years doesn't fit context.

So x = 6: Ravi = 6 years, Sourav = 36 + 3 = 39 years

Answer: Ravi is 6 years old and Sourav is 39 years old.

6

Weaving Sweaters (LCM Problem)

Ranjita, Neha, and Salma take 15, 18, and 20 days respectively to weave a sweater. They all start on the same day.

When will they all start a new sweater at the same time, and how many sweaters will they have completed in total?

Solution

To find when they all start a new sweater together, we need LCM of 15, 18, and 20.

Prime factorization:

15 = 3 × 5

18 = 2 × 3²

20 = 2² × 5

LCM = 2² × 3² × 5 = 4 × 9 × 5 = 180 days

Sweaters completed:

Ranjita: 180 ÷ 15 = 12 sweaters

Neha: 180 ÷ 18 = 10 sweaters

Salma: 180 ÷ 20 = 9 sweaters

Total = 12 + 10 + 9 = 31 sweaters

Answer: After 180 days, total sweaters completed = 31

7

2-Digit Number Problem

A 2-digit number (where tens digit > unit digit) is obtained by:

  • Multiplying the sum of digits by 7 and adding 3, OR
  • Multiplying the difference of digits by 19 and subtracting 1

Find the 2-digit number.

Solution

Let tens digit = x, units digit = y (where x > y)

The number = 10x + y

From condition 1: 10x + y = 7(x + y) + 3

10x + y = 7x + 7y + 3

3x - 6y = 3

x - 2y = 1 ... (1)

From condition 2: 10x + y = 19(x - y) - 1

10x + y = 19x - 19y - 1

-9x + 20y = -1

9x - 20y = 1 ... (2)

From (1): x = 1 + 2y

Substituting in (2): 9(1 + 2y) - 20y = 1

9 + 18y - 20y = 1

-2y = -8

y = 4

Therefore: x = 1 + 2(4) = 9

Answer: The 2-digit number is 94

8

Ratio of Areas: Square and Circle

If the perimeter of a square is equal to the circumference of a circle.

Find the ratio of their areas.

📐 Diagram: Square and Circle Comparison

Perimeter = 4a a r Circumference = 2πr =

Solution

Let side of square = a, radius of circle = r

Given: Perimeter of square = Circumference of circle

4a = 2πr

a = πr2

Area of square = a² = π²r²4

Area of circle = πr²

Ratio = Area of SquareArea of Circle = π²r²/4πr² = π4

Answer: Ratio of areas (Square : Circle) = π : 4

9

Circle and Semicircle Radii

The area of a circle is equal to the perimeter of a semicircular disc of equal radius.

Find the radius.

📐 Diagram: Circle and Semicircular Disc

r Area = πr² r Perimeter = πr + 2r =

Solution

Let the common radius = r

Area of circle = πr²

Perimeter of semicircular disc = Half circumference + Diameter

= πr + 2r = r(π + 2)

Given: Area of circle = Perimeter of semicircular disc

πr² = r(π + 2)

πr = π + 2 (dividing by r, assuming r ≠ 0)

r = π + 2π = 1 + 2π

≈ 1 + 0.637 ≈ 1.637 units

Answer: r = π + 2π1.64 units

Mathematics Excellence Series: Step-by-Step Solutions

1. Solve the Rational Equation

Solve for \(x\): \( \); where \( x \neq -4, 7 \)

Step 1: Find a common denominator:
\( \frac{(x - 7) - (x + 4)}{(x + 4)(x - 7)} = \frac{11}{30} \)
Step 2: Simplify the numerator:
\( \frac{-11}{x^2 - 3x - 28} = \frac{11}{30} \)
Step 3: Cross-multiply and solve the quadratic:
\( x^2 - 3x + 2 = 0 \)
Answer: \( x = 1 \) or \( x = 2 \)

2. Linear Equations: Infinitely Many Solutions

Find \(k\) for: \( kx + y = k^2 \) and \( x + ky = 1 \)

Condition: \( \frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2} = \frac{c_1}{c_2} \implies \frac{k}{1} = \frac{1}{k} = \frac{k^2}{1} \)
From \( k^2 = 1 \), we get \( k = \pm 1 \). Verifying with the third ratio, only \( k = 1 \) satisfies all parts.
Answer: \( k = 1 \)

3. Geometry: Surface Area of a Cone

Assertion (A): CSA of a cone (r=3.5, l=4) is 44 sq cm.
Reason (R): CSA formula is \( \pi rl \).

Calculation: \( CSA = \frac{22}{7} \times 3.5 \times 4 = 11 \times 4 = 44 \).
Conclusion: Both (A) and (R) are true; (R) is the correct explanation.

4. Y-axis Intersection

Equation: \( 2y - x = 4 \)

Set \( x = 0 \): \( 2y - 0 = 4 \implies y = 2 \).
Answer: (C) (0, 2)

5. Graphical Representation

Lines: \( 8x - 4y + 12 = 0 \) and \( 2x - y + 5 = 0 \)

Compare ratios: \( \frac{8}{2} = 4 \), \( \frac{-4}{-1} = 4 \), \( \frac{12}{5} = 2.4 \).
Since \( \frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2} \neq \frac{c_1}{c_2} \), the lines never meet.
Answer: (C) Parallel

शीर्षक: कॉर्पोरेट प्रभाव के आरोपों के बीच राजनीतिक फंडिंग पर भाजपा का दबदबा


पिछले एक दशक में राजनीतिक फंडिंग के हालिया विश्लेषण में यह बात सामने आई है कि भारत में सत्तारूढ़ दल भारतीय जनता पार्टी (बीजेपी) ने वित्तीय सहायता के मामले में अपने समकक्षों को काफी पीछे छोड़ दिया है। रिपोर्टों के अनुसार, भाजपा ने पिछले एक दशक में विभिन्न चुनावी ट्रस्टों (ईटी) के माध्यम से 1,893 करोड़ रुपये की आश्चर्यजनक राशि अर्जित की है, जिससे राजनीतिक परिदृश्य में उसका वित्तीय प्रभुत्व मजबूत हुआ है।


सबसे उल्लेखनीय चैनलों में से एक जिसके माध्यम से भाजपा ने धन हासिल किया है वह चुनावी बांड के माध्यम से है, जहां वह अग्रणी प्राप्तकर्ता के रूप में उभरी है। आंकड़ों से पता चलता है कि पार्टी को चुनावी ट्रस्टों के माध्यम से योगदान का बड़ा हिस्सा प्राप्त हुआ, 2018 और 2022 के बीच इसकी लगभग 61 प्रतिशत फंडिंग अकेले चुनावी बांड से हुई।


हालाँकि, यह वित्तीय वर्चस्व विवाद से रहित नहीं है। राजनीतिक दलों की कॉरपोरेट फंडिंग लंबे समय से विश्व स्तर पर एक विवादास्पद मुद्दा रही है और भारत भी इसका अपवाद नहीं है। बारीकी से जांच करने पर पता चलता है कि भाजपा को कॉर्पोरेट चंदा और उसके बाद केंद्र सरकार की एजेंसियों की कार्रवाइयों के बीच एक चिंताजनक संबंध है।


चौंकाने वाले खुलासे से संकेत मिलता है कि कम से कम 30 कंपनियों ने सामूहिक रूप से भाजपा को 335 करोड़ रुपये का चंदा दिया, उन्होंने खुद को जांच के दायरे में पाया और उसी अवधि के दौरान सरकारी एजेंसियों की कार्रवाई का सामना करना पड़ा। यह कॉर्पोरेट हितों और राजनीतिक फंडिंग के बीच सांठगांठ के बारे में प्रासंगिक सवाल उठाता है, जो संभावित रूप से लोकतंत्र और कॉर्पोरेट प्रभाव के बीच की रेखाओं को धुंधला कर देता है।


आलोचकों का तर्क है कि कॉर्पोरेट दानदाताओं और राजनीतिक दलों के बीच इतना घनिष्ठ संबंध शासन में पारदर्शिता और जवाबदेही के सिद्धांतों को कमजोर करता है। इन खुलासों के मद्देनजर राजनीतिक निर्णय लेने पर कॉर्पोरेट संस्थाओं के अनुचित प्रभाव को रोकने के लिए और अधिक कड़े नियमों और निरीक्षण तंत्र की मांग जोर पकड़ रही है।


जैसे-जैसे राजनीतिक फंडिंग को लेकर बहस तेज होती जा रही है, भारत की लोकतांत्रिक प्रक्रियाओं की अखंडता सुनिश्चित करने के लिए अधिक पारदर्शिता और जवाबदेही की तत्काल आवश्यकता है। भाजपा की वित्तीय सर्वोच्चता और व्यापक राजनीतिक परिदृश्य पर इसके निहितार्थ के बारे में खुलासे एक निष्पक्ष और न्यायसंगत लोकतंत्र के आदर्शों को बनाए रखने के लिए इन चिंताओं को संबोधित करने की तात्कालिकता को रेखांकित करते हैं।
