1.Mrs. Rakhi lives in an undeveloped area where there is no facility of proper
education. But one thing is available in that area i.e., network. Since she was very keen
to take education, so she decided to complete her education through e-learning.
One day she was studying number system, where she learnt about rational numbers,
irrational numbers and decimal numbers, etc.
On the basis of the above information, solve the following questions:
Q 1. Convert the rational number 2/15 into decimal number.
Q 2. Write one irrational number between 2.365 and 3.125 .
Q3. Find the product of two irrational numbers (7+3√ 2) and (7−3√ 2).
2. Two class mates Salma and Anil simplified two different expressions during the
revision hour and explained to each other their simplifications. Salma explains the
√2
simplification of by rationalising the denominator and Anil explains the
√5+ √ 3
simplification of ¿ ) (√ 2−3 ¿ by using an identity . Answer the following questions
1.What is the conjugate of √ 5+√ 3 ?
2. By rationalising the denominator, salma will get the answer……………
3. Which identity anil will use to evaluate of ¿ ) (√ 2−3 ¿ ?
4. ¿ ) (√ 2−3 ¿= ?
POLYNOMIALS
1.Ankur and Ranjan start a new business together. The amount invested by both
partners together is given by the polynomial p(x) = 4x2 + 12x + 5, which is the product
of their individual shares.
1.Coefficient of x2 in the given polynomial is
2. Total amount invested by both, if x = 1000 is
3. The shares of Ankur and Ranjan invested individually are………..
4. Find the value of x, if the total amount invested is equal to 0.
2.Case Study
One day, the principal of a particular school visited the classroom. The class teacher
was teaching the concept of a polynomial to students. He was very much impressed by
her way of teaching. To check, whether the students also understand the concept taught
by her or not, he asked various questions to students. Some of them are given below.
Answer them
1.Which one of the following is not a polynomial?
(a) 4x2 + 2x – 1 (b) y+3/y
3
(c) x – 1 (d) y2 + 5y + 1
2. The polynomial of the type ax2 + bx + c, a = 0 is called
3. The value of k, if (x – 1) is a factor of 4x3 + 3x2 – 4x + k, is
4. If x + 2 is the factor of x3 – 2ax2 + 16, then value of a is
5. The number of zeroes of the polynomial x2 + 4x + 2 is
Case Study 3. Amit and Rahul are friends who love collecting stamps. They decide to
start a stamp collection club and contribute funds to purchase new stamps. They both
invest a certain amount of money in the club. Let’s represent Amit’s investment by the
polynomial A(x) = 3x2 + 2x + 1 and Rahul’s investment by the polynomial R(x) = 2x2
– 5x + 3. The sum of their investments is represented by the polynomial S(x), which is
the sum of A(x) and R(x).
Q1. What is the coefficient of x2in Amit’s investment polynomial A(x)?
Q2. What is the constant term in Rahul’s investment polynomial R(x)?
Q3. What is the degree of the polynomial S(x), representing the sum of their
investments?
Q4. What is the coefficient of x in the polynomial S(x)?
ASSERTION REASONING QUESTIONS
NUMBER SYSTEM
a.) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for
Assertion
b.) Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is not the correct explanation for
Assertion.
c.) assertion is true but the reason is false.
d.) both assertion and reason are false.
1. Assertion: 0.468 is a terminating decimal.
Reason: A decimal in which a digit or a set of digits is repeated periodically, is
called a repeating, or a recurring decimal.
2.Assertion: Decimal expansion of every rational number is only terminating.
Reason : Decimal expansion of every irrational number is terminating recurring
3. Assertion :7√5, √2+21 are the irrational number.
Reason: every integer is an rational number
4. Assertion :the rationalizing factor of 2+√5 is 2-√5
Reason: the product or quotient of non zero rational number with irrational
number is rational.
5. Assertion: sum of two irrational numbers 5+√3 and 7+√3 is a irrational number.
Reason: if the product of two irraational numbers is rational the each one is
called the rationalizing factor of other.
POLYNOMIALS
1.Assertion : The degree of the polynomial(x2 – 2)(x – 3)(x + 4) is 3.
Reason : A polynomial of degree 3 is called a cubic polynomial.
2. Assertion : –7 is a constant polynomial.
Reason : Degree of a constant polynomial is zero.
3. Assertion : If f(x) = 3x7 – 4x6 + x + 9 is a polynomial, then its degree is 7.
Reason : Degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in it.
4. Assertion : The value of 593 × 607 is 359951.
Reason : (a + b) (a – b) = a2 – b2
5. Assertion : The expression 3x4 – 4x3/2 + x2 = 2is not a polynomial because the
term – 4x3/2 contains a rational power of x.
Reason : The highest exponent in various terms of an algebraic expression in one
variable is called its degree.
