Example 2. Which of the following is a polynomial?
- x – 1
- \(\frac{x-1}{x+1}\)
- \(x^2-\frac{2}{x^2}+5\)
- \(x^2+\frac{2 x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{x^2}}+6\)
Solution: The correct answer is 1. x – 1
Example 3. Which of the following is a linear polynomial?
- x + x2
- x + 1
- 5x2 – x + 3
- x + \(\frac{1}{x}\)
Solution: The correct answer is 2. x + 1
⇒ (For linear polynomial degree will be 1).

Example 4. Which of the followings is a 2nd degree polynomial?
- √x – 4
- x3 + x
- x3 + 2x + 6
- x2 + 5x + 6
Solution: The correct answer is 4. x2 + 5x + 6
Example 5. The degree of the polynomial √3 is
- \(\frac{1}{2}\)
- 2
- 1
- 0
Solution: The correct answer is 4. 0
(√3 = √3 x x°)
The degree of the polynomial √3 is 0
Example 6. If the polynomial x3+ 6x2 + 4x + k is devisible by (x + 2) then the value of k is
- -6
- -7
- -8
- -10
Solution: The correct answer is 3. -8
⇒ x + 2 = 0, x = -2
∴ f (-2) = 0
⇒ or, (-2)2 + 6 (-2)2 + 4 (-2) + k = 0
⇒ or, -8 + 24 – 8 + k = 0
⇒ or, k = -8
The value of k is -8
Example 7. In the polynomial f(x) if f(-\(\frac{1}{2}\)) =0 then the factor of f(x) will be
- 2x – 1
- 2x + 1
- x – 1
- x + 1
Solution: The correct answer is 2. 2x + 1
f(-\(\frac{1}{2}\))
∴ x = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
or, 2x + 1 = 0
The factor of f(x) will be 2x + 1.
Example 8. (x – 1) is a factor of the polynomial f(x) but it is not the factor of g(x). So (x – 1) will be a factor of
- f(x) g(x)
- – f(x) + g(x)
- f(x) – g(x)
- {f(x) + g(x)} g(x)
Solution: The correct answer is 1. f(x) g(x) (Product is the required answer)
Example 9. (x + 1) is a factor of xn + 1 when
- n is a positive odd integer
- n is a positive even integer
- n is a negative integer
- n is a positive integer
Solution: The correct answer is 1. n is a positive odd integer
⇒ x + 1 = 0, x = -1
⇒ Now, (-1)n +1 = 0 n should be the positive odd integer.
Example 10. If n2 – 1 is a factor of the polynomial an4 + bn3 + cn2+ dn + e then
- a + c + e = b + d
- a + b + e = c + d
- a + b + c = d + e
- b + c + d = a + e
Solution: The correct answer is a + c + e = b + d
⇒ n2 = 1
⇒ n = ±1
∴ a (-1)4 + b (-1)3 + c (-1)2 + d (-1) + e = 0
⇒ or, a – b + c – d + e = 0
⇒ or, a + c + e = b + d
Example 11. Which of the following is a polynomial?
- \(\frac{x^2}{2}-\frac{2}{x^2}\)
- \(\sqrt{2 x}-1\)
- \(x^2+\frac{3 x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{x}}\)
- \(\frac{x-1}{x+1}\)
Solution: The correct answer is 3. \(x^2+\frac{3 x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{x}}\)
\(x^2+3 x^{\frac{3}{2}-\frac{1}{2}}=x^2+3 x\)
Example 12. √2 is a polynomial of degree
- 2
- 0
- 1
- \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Solution: The correct answer is 2. 0
⇒ (√2 = √2x°)
Example 13. Degree of polynomial 4x4 + 0x3 + 0x5 + 5x + 7 is
- 0
- 1
- Any natural no
- Not defined
Solution: The correct answer is 3. Any natural no
Example 14. If p (x) = x2 – 2√2x + 1, then p (2√2) is equal to
- 0
- 1
- a√2
- 8√2+1
Solution: The correct answer is 2. 1
⇒ P (2√2) = (2√2)2 -2√2 – 2√2 + 1 = 8 – 8 + 1 = 1
Example 15. The value of the polynomial 5x – 4x2 + 3, when x = -1 is
- -6
- 6
- 2
- -2
Solution: The correct answer is 1. -6
⇒ 5(-1) – 4(-1)2 + 3 = -5 – 4 + 3 = -6
