23. Rahul & Seema who are the students of Class-IX, wants to check their readiness for the chapter
Polynomials. For this, they write their ages in the form of Polynomials. They write Seema’s age as
P(x) =𝑥 3 + 13 𝑥 2 + 32 𝑥 + 20 and that of Rahul as Q(x) =2𝑥 3 − 7𝑥 2 − 3𝑥 + 18. Now they ask each
other some questions.
Help them in finding the answer to following questions.
a) The Degree of P(x) is
b) If (𝑥 + 1) 𝑎𝑛𝑑 (𝑥 + 2) are factors of P(x), then the third factor of P(X).
c) The Polynomials Q(x) is exactly divisible by:-
(i) (2𝑥 + 3) (ii) (𝑥 + 8) (iii) (𝑥 − 3) (iv) all of these.
d) Coefficient of 𝑥 2 & 𝑥 3 in Q(x) and constant term in P(x).
