Factorise the following polynomials: x3+13x2+31x-45,given that (x+9) is a factor |
|
Answer» X^3 +13x^2 + 31X - 45 = x^3 - x^2 + 14x^2 - 14x + 45X - 45 = x^2 ( x - 1) + 14x (x - 1) + 45 (x - 1) = (x - 1)(x^2 + 14x + 45) = (x-1) [x^2 + 5X + 9x + 45] = (x-1)[ x(x +5) + 9 (x +5)] = (x-1)(x+5)(x+9) |

If x^2-x-1 =0 then what is the value of x^8 + 1/x^8 |
|
Answer» x^8 + 1/x^8 = ? x^2 - x - 1 = 0 -------(1) x^2/x - x/x - 1/x = 0/x x^2 - 1/x - 1 = 0 => (x - 1/x)^2 = (1)^2 => x^2 + 1/x^2 - 2(x)(1/x) = 1 => (x^2 + 1/x^2) = 3 (x^2 + 1/x^2)^2 = (3)^2 => x^4 + 1/x^4 + 2(x^4)(1/x^4) = 9 => x^4 + 1/x^4 + 2 = 9 => (x^4 + 1/x^4) = 7 x^8 + 1/x^8 + 2(x^8)(1/x^8) = (7)^2 => x^8 + 1/x^8 + 2 = 49 => x^8 + 1/x^8 = 49 - 2 => x^8 + 1/x^8 = 47 |

|
Answer» It is very easy. First of all subtract the NUMBERS horizontally and then find the product of their differences. Don't be bothered of negative sign, you've to concerned with mod of the difference. Let say for the first case: (12 - 4) x (7 - 3) = 8 x 4 = 32. (i.e. the number at the centre.) Similarly for the second case: (11 - 5) x (8 - 1) = 6 x 7 = 42. Finally for the third case: (9 - 6) x (3 - 2) = 3 x 1 = 3 (Ans) |

kabir bought 100 articles for Rs 3000 .He sold 25 of them at a gain of 5%. At what gain % must he sell the remaining articles so as to gain 20% on the whole? |
|
Answer» COST price of 100 ARTICLES is ₹3000. cost price of 25 articles is ₹750. gain by selling 25 articles =5/100×750=₹37.50 . total gain by selling 100 articles =20% of 3000=20/100×3000=₹600. So gain which has to be obtained by selling 75 articles=600-37.5=₹562.50. cost price of 75 articles =3000-750=₹2250. gain%=562.50/2250×100=562.50/22.50=25% So he NEEDS to sell REMAINING articles at gain of 25%. |

Answer» Two Triangles on the same base and between the same parallels are EQUAL in area. Given:ABCDE is a Pentagon & BF||AC. To show:(i) AR (ACB) = ar (ACF) ii) ar (AEDF) = ar (ABCDE) i) △ACB and △ACF lie on the same base AC and between the same parallels AC and BF .∴ ar(△ACB) = ar(△ ACF) (ii)ar(△ACB) = ar(△ACF) ar(△ACB)+ar(△ACDE) =ar(△ACF) + ar(△ACDE) [ On adding ar(△ACDE) on both sides] ar(ABCDE) = ar(△AEDF) Hope this will help you... |

In right triangle ABC, right angle is at C, M is the mid-point of hypotenuse AB. C is joined to M and produced to a point D such that DM=CM. Point D is joined to point B (see figure). Show that :(i) ΔAMC≅ΔBMD(ii) ∠DBC is a right angle(iii) ΔDBC≅ ΔACB(iv) CM=1/2*AB |
|
Answer» Given: In right angled ∆ABC, ∠C = 90°,M is the mid-point of AB i.e, AM=MB & DM = CM. To Prove: i) ΔAMC ≅ ΔBMD ii) ∠DBC is a right angle. (iii) ΔDBC ≅ ΔACB CM=1/2AB Proof:(i) In ΔAMC & ΔBMD, AM = BM [M is the mid-point] ∠CMA = ∠DMB (Vertically opposite angles) CM = DM (Given) Hence, ΔAMC ≅ ΔBMD[ by SAS congruence rule] ii) since, ΔAMC ≅ ΔBMD AC=DB. (by CPCT) ∠ACM = ∠BDM (by CPCT) Hence, AC || BD as alternate interior angles are equal. Then,∠ACB + ∠DBC = 180° (co-interiors angles) 90° + ∠B = 180° ∠DBC = 90° Hence, ∠DBC = 90° (iii) In ΔDBC & ΔACB, BC = CB (Common) ∠ACB = ∠DBC (Right angles) DB = AC ( PROVED in part ii) Hence, ΔDBC ≅ ΔACB (by SAS congruence rule) (iv) DC = AB (ΔDBC ≅ ΔACB) DM + CM =AB [CD=CM+DM] CM + CM = AB [CM= DM (given)] 2CM = AB Hence, CM=1/2AB HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU... |

Answer» Interesting question here, ALTHOUGH if you want to multiply any numbers without actually doing any multiplication you can refer to the japanese method of multiplication, the LINK of which i have mentioned in the comment section But i would also like to RECOMMEND one of these methods where you can multiply large numbers mentally Here is the method, Try EXPRESSING the numbers in form of numbers which are divisible by 10 Example: 9 can be EXPRESSED as 10-1 And then you can do the multiplication, Now, let us take the sum you have mentioned above, (1000- 1)×(1000-1) 1000000 - 2000 + 1 998001 This is how simplified multiplication can be performed Hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Raju sold a bicycle to Amit at 8% profit. Amit repaired it spending ₹ 54. Then he sold the bicycle to Nikhil for ₹ 1134 with no loss and no profit. Find the cost price of the bicycle for which Raju purchased it. |
|
Answer» If AMIT SOLD the bicycle to Nikhil for ₹ 1134 with no loss and no profit. Then the cost price must be ₹ 1134 including repairing cost. Now the cost price excluding repairing cost = ₹ 1134 - ₹ 54 = ₹ 1080 Let the cost price of Raju be Rs x. Then, SELLING price of Raju = x + 8x/100 = x + 2x/25 = 27x/25 Now the cost price of Amit = 27x/25 = 1080 or, x = (1080 x 25)/27 = Rs 1000. Therefore, cost price of Raju = Rs 1000 and selling price = Rs 1080 (8% profit) cost price of Amit = Rs 1080 and selling price = Rs 1134; repairing cost = Rs 54 (no profit no loss ) cost price of Nikhil = Rs 1134. |
