11.Case Study Question
Read the text carefully and
answer the questions:
To recapitulate the concept of polynomials a teacher bought
a box with some slips of polynomials written on them in the class. She asked
the students to pick up a slip turn wise and say any four lines about the
polynomial written on it. Based on above information answer the following
questions.
(i) (a)
The polynomial written on Aparajita’s slip was 𝑝(𝑡)
= 4𝑡2 − 9 + 𝑡. What is the value of 𝑝(2)?
(b) Saanvi
got the polynomial 𝑝(𝑥) = 1 − 𝑥2.
What type of polynomial is it?
(ii) (a)
Varun got the polynomial 𝑝(𝑥)
= 𝑦2 − 5𝑦 + 6, calculate the value of 𝑝(−1).
(b) One
of the slips had polynomial 𝑥2
− 6𝑥 + 9 written on it. Write its factors
