Apply the division algorithm to find the quotient and remainder on dividing f(x) by g(x) as

given below:

(1) f(x) = x3 - 6x2+ 11x - 6 ,g(x)=x+ 2

(2) f(x) = x³-3x²+5x-3, g(x) = x² - 2

(iii) f(x) = x4 - 3x2 + 4x + 5 ,g(x)=x2+ 1-x


(iv) f(x) = x4 -5x+6, g(x)=2-x²

EXAMPLE 15 For which values of a and b are the zeros of q (x) = x 3 + 2x2 + a also the zeroes
of the polynomial p(x) = x 5 – x4 - 4x3 + 3x² + 3x + b? Which zeros of p(x) are not the zeroes of
q(x)
EXAMPLE 16 By applying division algorithm prove that the polynomial g(x) = x 2 + 3x+1 is a
factor of the polynomial f (x) = 3x4 + 5x3 - 7x2 + 2x + 2

EXAMPLE 14 If the remainder on division of x 3 + 2x2 + kx + 3 by x - 3 is 21, find the quotient


and the value of k. Hence, find the zeroes of the cubic polynomial x3 + 2x2+kx-18.
EXAMPLE 15 For which values of a and b are the zeros of q(x) = x 3 + 2x² + a also the zeroes
of the polynomial p(x) = x5 – x4 - 4x3 + 3x² + 3x + b? Which zeros of p(x) are not the zeroes of
q(x).

EXAMPLE 13 Find k so that x2 + 2x + k is a factor 2x4 + x3 - 14x2 + 5x + 6. Also, find all the
zeroes of the two polynomials.
EXAMPLE 12 Find the values of a and b so that x4 + x3 + 8x2 + ax + b is divisible by x2 + 1

EXAMPLE 11 What must be added to f(x) = 4x 4 + 2x3- 2x²+x-1 so that the resulting polynomial
is divisible by g(x) = x² + 2x-3.
EXAMPLE 10 What must be subtracted from 8x 4 + 14x3 - 2x² +7x-8 so that the resulting
polynomial is exactly divisible by 4x2 + 3x – 2

EXAMPLE 9 If the polynomial x 4 + 8x3 + 17x2 + 21x + 7i divided by another polynomial


3x2 + 4x + 1 the remainder comes out to be ax + b find a and b
EXAMPLE 8 polynomial f(x)= x 4 - 6x3 + 16x2 - 25x + 10 is divided by another polynomial
x2- 2x + k the remainder comes out to be x + a, find kanda.

EXAMPLE 7 On dividing the polynomial f(x) = x 3 - 3x2 + x + 2 by a polynomial g(x) the


quotient q(x) and remainder r(x) are q(x) = x - 2 and r(x) = - 2x + 4 respectively. Find the
polynomial g(x).
EXAMPLE 6 If two zeros of the polynomial f x)= x4 - 6x3 - 26x2 + 138x – 35 are 2+ sqrt3 and 2-
sqrt3, find the other zeros.

EXAMPLE 5 Obtain all the zeros of the polynomial f(x)=3x 4+6x3-2x²-10x-5, if two of its zeros
are sqrt(5/3) and - sqrt(5/3)
EXAMPLE 4 Find all the zeros of the polynomial f(x) = 2x 4 - 3x3 - 3x2 + 6x - 2, if two of its zeros
are √2 and -√2.

EXAMPLE 3 Given that √2 is a zero of the cubic polynomial f(x) = 6x 3 + sqrt(2) * x2 - 10x -
4sqrt(2) find its other two zeros.
EXAMPLE 2 Find the zeros of the polynomial f(x) = 3x3 + 10x2 - 9x - 4 if one of its zeros is 1.

EXAMPLE 1 Divide the polynomial f(x) = 3x2 – x3 - 3x + 5 by g(x) = x - 1 – x2 and verify the
division algorithm.
