∴ (x + 1), P(x) এর উৎপদক।
Q(-1) = 2(-1)4-(-1)² - 1 = 0
∴ (x + 1), Q(x) এর উৎপদক।

আবার, P(1) = (1)³+7(1)²-1-7 = 0
∴ (x-1), P(x) এর উৎপদক।
Q(1) = 2(1)4-(1)²-1 = 0

Question: In a school, 30 students study Mathematics, 20 students study Science, and 12 students study both subjects. If 8 students study neither Mathematics nor Science, find the total number of students in the school.

Solution:
Given that,
Students studying Mathematics, ∣M∣ = 30
Students studying Science, ∣S∣ = 20 
Students studying both, ∣M ∩ S∣ = 12
Students studying neither = 8

We know,
∣M ∪ S∣ = ∣M∣ + ∣S∣ - ∣M ∩ S∣
= 30 + 20 - 12
= 38

∴ Total students in the class = students who study Mathematics or Science + students who play neither
= ∣M ∪ S∣ + Neither
= 38 + 8
= 46

Question: If x2 + y2 = 13 and xy = 6, then (x + y)3 is-

Solution:
Given that,
x2 + y2 = 13 and xy = 6
⇒ (x + y)2 = x2 + y2 + 2xy
⇒ (x + y)2 = 13 + (2 × 6)
⇒ (x + y)2 = 13 + 12
⇒ (x + y)2 = 25 = 52
∴ x + y = 5

Now,
(x + y)3 = 53 = 125

The pairs of equations 9x + 3y + 12 = 0 and 18x + 6y + 26 = 0 have-
  1. ক) Unique solution
  2. খ) Exactly two solutions
  3. গ) Infinitely many solutions
  4. ঘ) No solution
  5. ঙ) Exactly three solutions
ব্যাখ্যা

Given,
9x + 3y + 12 = 0 and 18x + 6y + 26 = 0
a1/a2 = 9/18 = 1/2
b1/b2 = 3/6 = 1/2
c1/c2 = 12/26 = 6/13
Since, a1/a2 = b1/b2 ≠ c1/c2

So, the pairs of equations are parallel and the lines never intersect each other at any point, therefore there is no possible solution.

Question: If p + q = 12 and pq = 32, then the numerical value of (p/q) + (q/p) will be? 

Solution:
Given that,
p + q = 12
and pq = 32

Now,
p + q = 12
(p + q)2 = 122
p2 + 2pq + q2 = 144
p2 + q2 + 2 × 32 = 144
p2 + q2 = 144 - 64
p2 + q2 = 80

Again,
(p/q) + (q/p)
= (p2 + q2)/pq
= 80/32
= 2.50

Question: What should be the value of "Q" so that the expression (49 - 28x + Qx2) becomes a perfect square?

Solution:
(49 - 28x + Qx2)
= (7)2 - 2 × 7 × 2x + (2x)2 + Qx2 - (2x)2
= (7 - 2x)2 + Qx2 - 4x2

The expression becomes a perfect square if,
Qx2 - 4x2 = 0
⇒ Qx2 = 4x2 
∴ Q = 4

Thus, when Q = 4, the expression is (7 - 2x)2, which is a perfect square.

The remainder is 3, when a number is divided by 5. If the square of this number is divided by 5, then what is the remainder?
  1. 5
  2. 4
  3. 7
  4. 1
ব্যাখ্যা

We know that,
Dividend = [(Divisor × Quotient)] + Remainder
It is given that the remainder is 3 when a number (dividend) is divided 5(divisor).
Dividend and quotient are unknown,

Hence assume dividend as X and quotient as Y.
X = (5Y) + 3
The square of this number is divided by 5, therefore
X2 = (5Y + 3)2
X2 = (25Y2+ 30Y + 9)

On dividing this equation,
we get,
= 25Y2 + 30Y + 9
= 25Y2 + 30Y + 5 + 4
= 5(5Y2+ 6Y + 1) + 4

The remainder is 4, because 9 is not exactly divisible by 5 and we get 4 as remainder.

Question: When a positive integer X is divided by Y, the quotient is 11 and the remainder is 5. When X is divided by (Y + 3) the quotient is 9 and the remainder is 2. What is the value of X?

Solution: 
Given that,
When X is divided by Y. Then we get,
X = 11Y + 5 .......(1) 

And, 
When X is divided by Y + 3. Then we get,
X = 9(Y + 3) + 2 = 9Y + 27 + 2 = 9Y + 29.......(2) 

From (1) and (2), Then we get,
⇒ 11Y + 5 = 9Y + 29 
⇒ 11Y - 9Y = 29 - 5
⇒ 2Y = 24
⇒ Y = 24/2
∴ Y = 12

From (1),
X = 11Y + 5 = (11 × 12) + 5 = 132 + 5 = 137

So the value of X is 137.

ব্যাখ্যা

Question: If a + b + c = 5 and a2 + b2 + c2 = 35, find the value of a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc.

Solution:
Given, a + b + c = 5 and a2 + b2 + c2 = 35

We know,
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
⇒ (5)2 = 35 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
⇒ 25 = 35 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
⇒ 2(ab + bc + ca) = 25 - 35 
⇒ 2(ab + bc + ca) = - 10
∴ ab + bc + ca = - 5

Now,
a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc
= (a + b + c){a2 + b2 + c2 - (ab + bc + ca)}
= 5 × {35 - (- 5)}
= 5 × 40
= 200

Therefore, the value is 200.

ব্যাখ্যা

Question: If x = √3 + √2, then find the value of x3 - (1/x)3 = ?

Solution:
দেওয়া আছে, x = √3 + √2
সুতরাং, 1/x = 1/(√3 + √2)
= (√3 - √2)/{(√3 + √2)(√3 - √2)}
= (√3 - √2)/{(√3)2 - (√2)2}
= (√3 - √2)/(3 - 2)
= √3 - √2

অতএব, x - (1/x) = (√3 + √2) - (√3 - √2)
= √3 + √2 - √3 + √2
= 2√2

আমরা জানি,
x3 - (1/x)3 = {x - (1/x)}3 + 3 . x . 1/x . {x - (1/x)}
= (2√2)3 + 3(2√2)
= (8 × 2√2) + 6√2
= 16√2 + 6√2
= 22√2

∴ নির্ণেয় মান হলো 22√2

Multiply by 3/5
⇒ 3x + 1/5x = 12/5

Squaring on both sides
⇒ (3x + 1/5x)2 = (12/5)2
⇒ 9x2 + 1/25x2 + 2 × 3x × (1/5x) = 144/25
⇒ 9x2 + 1/25x2 = 144/25 – 6/5
⇒ 9x2 + 1/25x2 = (144 – 30)/25 

∴ The value is 114/25

Question: In an AP, the ratio of the 2nd term to the 7th term is 1/3. If the 5th term is 11, what is the 15th term?

Solution:
The 2nd term is a + d.
The 7th term is a + 6d 

ATQ,
(a + d)/(a + 6d) = 1/3
⇒ 3a + 3d = a + 6d
∴ 2a = 3d
∴ a = (3d)/2

The 5th term is  a + 4d = 11
⇒ (3d)/2 + 4d = 11
⇒ 3d + 8d = 22
⇒ 11d = 22
∴ d = 2

∴ a = (3 × 2)/2 = 3
∴ The 15th term is: a + 14d
= 3 + 14 × 2
= 3 + 28
= 31
