Hence proved.
3. We have, p(t) = 4t4+ 5t3 - t2 + 6
On putting t = a in p(t), we get,
p(a) = 4 (a)4 + 5 (a)3 - (a)2 + 6
= 4a4 + 5a3 - a2 + 6

6. let, f(x) = x6 − ax5 + x4 − ax3 + 3x − a + 2
By factor theorm,if (x-a) is a factor of f(x),then f(a)=0
here, x - a = 0
⇒ x = a
Substitute the value of x in f(x)
f(a) = a6 - a(a)5 + (a)4 - a(a)3 + 3(a) − a + 2
= a6 - a6 + (a)4 - a4 + 3(a) − a + 2
= 2a + 2
Equate to zero
⇒ 2a + 2 = 0
⇒ 2(a + 1) = 0
⇒ a = -1
So, when (x - a) is a factor of f(x) then a = -1

9. We have,
4x2 + 20x + 25 = (2x)2 + 2(2x)(5) + (5)2
= (2x + 5)2 [∵ a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2]
= (2x + 5)(2x + 5)
10. Let f(x) = px2 + 5x + r be the given polynomial. Since x - 2 and x −
