Maths Q3:
1. To solve this problem, we
need to substitute the given
zeroes (-2 and 3) into the
polynomial x⁴ + ax² + bx + c and
set the resulting expressions
equal to zero. This will give us
two equations involving the
unknown coefficients a, b, and c.
We can then solve these
equations to find the values of a
and b.

Given information:
- The polynomial is x⁴ + ax² + bx
+ c.
- -2 and 3 are zeroes of the
polynomial.

Step 1: Substitute x = -2 into the

polynomial and set it equal to
zero.
(-2)⁴ + a(-2)² + b(-2) + c = 0
16 + 4a - 2b + c = 0 ... (1)

Step 2: Substitute x = 3 into the

polynomial and set it equal to
zero.
(3)⁴ + a(3)² + b(3) + c = 0
81 + 9a + 3b + c = 0 ... (2)

Step 3: Subtract equation (1)

from equation (2) to eliminate c.
(81 - 16) + (9a - 4a) + (3b + 2b) =
0
65 + 5a + 5b = 0
5a + 5b = -65
a + b = -13 ... (3)

Step 4: Substitute the value of b

from equation (3) into equation
(1) to find the value of a.
16 + 4a - 2(-13 - a) + c = 0
16 + 4a + 26 + 2a + c = 0
42 + 6a + c = 0
6a = -42 (Since c cancels out)
a = -7

Step 5: Substitute the value of a

into equation (3) to find the
value of b.
-7 + b = -13
b = -6

Therefore, the values of the

coefficients are a = -7 and b = -6.

2. To solve this problem, we

need to find two positive
integers whose sum is 52 and
their least common multiple
(LCM) is 168.

Given information:
- The sum of the two positive
integers is 52.
- The LCM of the two positive
integers is 168.

Let's represent the two integers

as x and y.

Step 1: Express the given

conditions in terms of x and y.
x + y = 52 (Sum of the two
integers)
LCM(x, y) = 168 (LCM of the two
integers)

Step 2: Find the possible factors

of 168.
The factors of 168 are: 1, 2, 3, 4,
6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 21, 24, 28, 42, 56,
84, and 168.
Step 3: Find the pair of factors
whose sum is 52 and their LCM
is 168.
By trying different pairs of
factors, we find that 28 and 24
satisfy both conditions.

x = 28, y = 24

Verification:
Sum of x and y = 28 + 24 = 52
(Satisfies the sum condition)
LCM(28, 24) = 168 (Satisfies the
LCM condition)

Therefore, the two positive

integers whose sum is 52 and
their LCM is 168 are 28 and 24.

3.
To find the zeros (roots) of a quadratic polynomial, we can use the quadratic formula or
factorization method. Let's solve this problem using the quadratic formula.
Given: The quadratic polynomial is f(x) = abx² + b²x - acx - bc

Step 1: Identify the coefficients of the quadratic polynomial. The coefficient of x² is ab. The
coefficient of x is b² - ac. The constant term is -bc.

Step 2: Use the quadratic formula to find the zeros (roots) of the polynomial.

The quadratic formula is:

x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / (2a)

Where: a = ab (coefficient of x²) b = b² - ac (coefficient of x) c = -bc (constant term)

Substituting the values, we get:

x = [-(b² - ac) ± √((b² - ac)² - 4(ab)(-bc))] / [2(ab)] x = [-(b² - ac) ± √(b⁴ - 2ab²c + a²c² +
4ab²c)] / [2ab] x = [-(b² - ac) ± √(b² + ac)²] / [2ab] x = [-(b² - ac) ± (b² + ac)] / [2ab]

Therefore, the zeros (roots) of the quadratic polynomial f(x) = abx² + b²x - acx - bc are:

α = (ac - b²) / (2ab)

β = (b² + ac) / (2ab)
Let's verify the relationship between α, β, and the coefficients of the quadratic polynomial.

Verification:

Sum of the zeros (roots): α + β = [(ac - b²) / (2ab)] + [(b² + ac) / (2ab)] = (ac - b² + b² + ac) /
(2ab) = (2ac) / (2ab) = -(b² - ac) / (ab)

The sum of the zeros (α + β) is equal to the negative of the coefficient of x divided by the
coefficient of x², which is -(b² - ac) / (ab).

Product of the zeros (roots): α × β = [(ac - b²) / (2ab)] × [(b² + ac) / (2ab)] = (ac - b²)(b² + ac) /
(4a²b²) = (a²c² - b⁴) / (4a²b²) = -bc / (ab)

The product of the zeros (α × β) is equal to the constant term divided by the coefficient of x²,
which is -bc / (ab).

Therefore, the zeros (roots) α and β of the quadratic polynomial f(x) = abx² + b²x - acx - bc
satisfy the relationship between the zeros and coefficients of a quadratic polynomial.

4. To solve this problem, we need to show

that for any positive integer n, the expression
√n - 1 + √n + 1 is irrational, meaning it
cannot be expressed as a ratio of two
integers.

Let's assume, for the sake of contradiction,

that there exists a positive integer n such that
√n - 1 + √n + 1 is rational.

We can represent √n - 1 + √n + 1 as a ratio

of two integers, say p/q, where p and q are
integers, and q ≠ 0.

√n - 1 + √n + 1 = p/q

Rearranging the terms, we get:

2√n = p/q - 2

Squaring both sides:

4n = (p/q - 2)²
= (p² + 4q² - 4pq) / q²

Since the left-hand side is an integer (4n),

the right-hand side must also be an integer.
This implies that q² must divide p² + 4q² -
4pq.

Factoring out q² from the right-hand side, we

get:

p² + 4q² - 4pq = q²k

Where k is some integer.

Rearranging the terms, we have:

p² - 4pq + 4q² = q²k

Factoring the left-hand side, we get:

(p - 2q)² = q²k

This means that (p - 2q) is divisible by q.

Since p and q are integers, this implies that p

and q must have a common factor, which
contradicts the assumption that p/q is a
reduced fraction (i.e., p and q are coprime).

Therefore, our initial assumption that √n - 1

+ √n + 1 is rational for some positive integer
n must be false.

We have shown that for any positive integer

n, the expression √n - 1 + √n + 1 is
irrational.

5. To solve this problem, we need to find the

value of k in the quadratic polynomial p(x) =
x^2 + kx + 45, given that the squared
difference of its zeroes (a and b) is 144.

Given information:
- The quadratic polynomial is p(x) = x^2 +
kx + 45.
- Let a and b be the zeroes (roots) of the
polynomial.
- (a - b)^2 = 144

Step 1: Express the relationship between the

zeroes (a and b) and the coefficients of the
quadratic polynomial.
In a quadratic polynomial ax^2 + bx + c, the
sum of the zeroes is (-b/a), and the product
of the zeroes is (c/a).

For the given polynomial p(x) = x^2 + kx +

45, we have:
a = 1 (coefficient of x^2)
b = k (coefficient of x)
c = 45 (constant term)

Therefore, the sum of the zeroes (a and b) is

(-k/1) = -k.
The product of the zeroes (a and b) is (45/1)
= 45.

Step 2: Use the given condition (a - b)^2 =

144 to find the value of k.
(a - b)^2 = 144
(a^2 - 2ab + b^2) = 144
(a + b)^2 - 4ab = 144

Substituting the sum and product of the

zeroes, we get:
(-k)^2 - 4(45) = 144
k^2 - 180 = 144
k^2 = 324
k = ±18

Since the coefficient of x should be a real

number, we take the positive value of k.

Therefore, the value of k in the quadratic

polynomial p(x) = x^2 + kx + 45, such that
(a - b)^2 = 144, is k = 18.
