Then, p( – 1) = 3( – 1)3 – 5( – 1)2 – 11( – 1) – 3
= – 3 – 5 + 11 – 3
= 0

$p\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)=3\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)^{3}-5\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)^{2}-11\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)-3$
$=\left(-\frac{1}{9}\right)-\left(\frac{5}{9}\right)+\left(\frac{11}{3}\right)-3$
$=\left(\frac{-1-5+33-27}{9}\right)$
= 0

p(3) = 3(3)3 – 5(3)2 – 11(3) – 3
= 81 – 45 – 33 – 3

Verification
α + β + γ $=3+(-1)+\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)=\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)$

$=-\frac{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}^{2}}{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}^{3}}=-\frac{5}{3}$

αβ + βγ + γα $=(3)(-1)+(-1)\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)+\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)(3)$
$=\left(-\frac{11}{3}\right)$
$=\frac{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}}{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}^{3}}=\frac{-11}{3}=\left(-\frac{11}{3}\right)$
and αβγ $=3 \times-1 \times\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)$
= 1
$=-\frac{\text { Constant term }}{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}^{3}}=-\frac{-3}{3}=1$
Thus, the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients is verified.

Question 11 A 

Verify that the numbers given alongside of the cubic polynomial are their zeros. Also verify the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients in each case :
x3 – 4x2 + 5x – 2;2, 1, 1
Sol :
Let p(x) = x3 – 4x2 + 5x – 2
Then, p(2) = (2)3 – 4(2)2 + 5(2) – 2
= 8 – 16 + 10 – 2
= 0
p(1) = (1)3 – 4(1)2 + 5(1) – 2
= 1 – 4 + 5 – 2
= 0
Hence, 2, 1 and 1 are the zeroes of the given polynomial x3 – 4x2 + 5x – 2.
Now, Let α = 2 , β = 1 and γ = 1
Then, α + β + γ = 2 + 1 + 1 = 4
$=-\frac{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}^{2}}{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}^{3}}=-\frac{-4}{1}=4$
αβ + βγ + γα = (2)(1) + (1)(1) + (1)(2)
= 2 + 1 + 2
= 5
$=\frac{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}}{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}^{3}}=\frac{5}{1}=5$
and αβγ = 2 × 1 × 1
= 2
$=-\frac{\text { Constant term }}{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}^{3}}=-\frac{-2}{1}=2$
Thus, the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients is verified.

Question 11 B 

Verify that the numbers given alongside of the cubic polynomial are their zeros. Also verify the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients in each case :
x3 – 6x2 + 11x – 6 ;1, 2, 3
Sol :
Let p(x) = x3 – 6x2 + 11x – 6
Then, p(1) = (1)3 – 6(1)2 + 11(1) – 6
= 1 – 6 + 11 – 6
= 0
p(2) = (2)3 – 6(2)2 + 11(2) – 6
= 8 – 24 + 22 – 6
= 0
p(3) = (3)3 – 6(3)2 + 11(3) – 6

= 27 – 54 + 33 – 6
= 0
Hence, 1, 2 and 3 are the zeroes of the given polynomial x3 – 6x2 + 11x – 6.
Now, Let α = 1 , β = 2 and γ = 3
Then, α + β + γ = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6
$=-\frac{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}^{2}}{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}^{3}}=-\frac{-6}{1}=6$
αβ + βγ + γα = (1)(2) + (2)(3) + (3)(1)
= 2 + 6 + 3
= 11
$=\frac{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}}{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}^{3}}=\frac{11}{1}=11$
and αβγ = 1 × 2 × 3
= 6
$=-\frac{\text { Constant term }}{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}^{3}}=-\frac{-6}{1}=6$
Thus, the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients is verified.

Question 11 C 

Verify that the numbers given alongside of the cubic polynomial are their zeros. Also verify the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients in each case :
x3 + 2x2 – x – 2; – 2 – 2, 1
Sol :
Let p(x) = x3 + 2x2 – x – 2
Then, p( – 2) = ( – 2)3 + 2( – 2)2 – ( – 2) – 2
= – 8 + 8 + 2 – 2
= 0
p(1) = (1)3 + 2(1)2 – (1) – 2
= 1 + 2 – 1 – 2
= 0
Hence, – 2, – 2 and 1 are the zeroes of the given polynomial x3 + 2x2 – x – 2.
Now, Let α = – 2 , β = – 2 and γ = 1
Then, α + β + γ = – 2 + ( – 2) + 1 = – 3
$=-\frac{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}^{2}}{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}^{3}}=-\frac{2}{1}=-2$
αβ + βγ + γα = ( – 2)( – 2) + ( – 2)(1) + (1)( – 2)
= 4 – 2 – 2
= 0
$=\frac{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}}{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}^{3}}=\frac{-1}{1}=-1$
and αβγ = ( – 2) × ( – 2) × 1
= 4
$=-\frac{\text { Constant term }}{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}^{3}}=-\frac{-2}{1}=2$
Thus, the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients is not verified.

Question 11 D 

Verify that the numbers given alongside of the cubic polynomial are their zeros. Also verify the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients in each case :
x3 + 5x2 + 7x + 3 ; – 3, 2 – 1, – 1
Sol :
Let p(x) = x3 + 5x2 + 7x + 3.
Then, p( – 1) = ( – 1)3 + 5( – 1)2 + 7( – 1) + 3
= – 1 + 5 – 7 + 3
= 0
p( – 3) = ( – 3)
3 + 5( – 3)2 + 7( – 3) + 3
= – 27 + 45 – 21 + 3
= 0
Hence, – 1, – 1 and – 3 are the zeroes of the given polynomial x3 + 5x2 + 7x + 3.
Now, Let α = – 1 , β = – 1 and γ = – 3
Then, α + β + γ = – 1 + ( – 1) + ( – 3) = – 5
$=-\frac{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}^{2}}{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}^{3}}=-\frac{5}{1}=-5$
αβ + βγ + γα = ( – 1)( – 1) + ( – 1)( – 3) + ( – 3)( – 1)
= 1 + 3 + 3
= 7
$=\frac{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}}{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}^{3}}=\frac{7}{1}=7$
and αβγ = ( – 1) × ( – 1) × ( – 3)
= – 3
$=-\frac{\text { Constant term }}{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}^{3}}=-\frac{3}{1}=-3$
Thus, the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients is verified.

Question 12 

Find a cubic polynomial having 1, 2, 3 as its zeroes.
Sol :
Let the zeroes of the cubic polynomial be
α = 1, β = 2 and γ = 3
Then, α + β + γ = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6
αβ + βγ + γα = (1)(2) + (2)(3) + (3)(1)
= 2 + 6 + 3
= 11
and αβγ = 1 × 2 × 3
= 6
Now, required cubic polynomial
= x3 – (α + β + γ) x2 + (αβ + βγ + γα)x – αβγ
= x3 – (6) x2 + (11)x – 6
= x3 – 6 x2 + 11x – 6
So, x3 – 6 x2 + 11x – 6 is the required cubic polynomial which satisfy the given conditions.

Question 13 

Find a cubic polynomial having – 3, – 2, 2 as its zeroes.
Sol :
Let the zeroes of the cubic polynomial be
α = – 3, β = – 2 and γ = 2
Then, α + β + γ = – 3 + ( – 2) + 2
= – 3 – 2 + 2
= – 3
αβ + βγ + γα = ( – 3)( – 2) + ( – 2)(2) + (2)( – 3)
= 6 – 4 – 6
= – 4
and αβγ = ( – 3) × ( – 2) × 2
= 6 × 2
= 12
Now, required cubic polynomial
= x3 – (α + β + γ) x2 + (αβ + βγ + γα)x – αβγ
= x3 – ( – 3) x2 + ( – 4)x – 12
= x3 + 3 x2 – 4x – 12
So, x3 + 3x^2 – 4x – 12 is the required cubic polynomial which satisfy the given conditions.

Question 14 

Find a cubic polynomial with the sum of its zeroes are 0, – 7 and – 6 respectively.
Sol :
Let the zeroes be α, β and γ.
Then, we have
α + β + γ = 0
αβ + βγ + γα = – 7
and αβγ = – 6
Now, required cubic polynomial
= x3 – (α + β + γ) x2 + (αβ + βγ + γα)x – αβγ
= x3 – (0) x2 + ( – 7)x – ( – 6)
= x3 – 7x + 6
So, x3 – 7x + 6 is the required cubic polynomial.

Question 15 A 

Find a cubic polynomial with the sum of its zeroes, sum of the products of its zeroes taken two at a time and product of its zeroes as the numbers given below:
2, – 7, – 14
Sol :
Let the zeroes be α, β and γ.
Then, we have
α + β + γ = 2
αβ + βγ + γα = – 7
and αβγ = – 14

Now, required cubic polynomial
=x3-(α+β+γ)x2+(αβ+βγ+γα)-αβγ
=x3-(2)x2+(-7x)-(-14)
=x3-2x2-7x+14)

Sox3 – 2x2 – 7x + 14 is the required cubic polynomial.

$-4 \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{3}$
Sol :
Let the zeroes be α, β and γ.
Then, we have
$\alpha+\beta+\gamma=-4$
$\alpha \beta+\beta \gamma+\gamma \alpha=\frac{1}{2}$
$\alpha \beta \gamma=\frac{1}{3}$
Now, required cubic polynomial
$=\mathrm{x}^{3}-(\alpha+\beta+\gamma) \mathrm{x}^{2}+(\alpha \beta+\beta \gamma+\gamma \alpha) \mathrm{x}-\alpha \beta \gamma$
$=x^{3}-(-4) x^{2}+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) x-\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)$
$=\frac{6 x^{3}+24 x^{2}+3 x-2}{6}$
So, 6x3 + 24x2 + 3x – 2 is the required cubic polynomial which satisfy the given conditions.

Question 15 C 

Find a cubic polynomial with the sum of its zeroes, sum of the products of its zeroes taken two at a time and product of its zeroes as the numbers given below:
$\frac{5}{7}, \frac{1}{7}, \frac{1}{7}$
Sol :
Let the zeroes be α, β and γ.
Then, we have
$\alpha+\beta+\gamma=\frac{5}{7}$
$\alpha \beta+\beta \gamma+\gamma \alpha=\frac{1}{7}$
$\alpha \beta \gamma=\frac{1}{7}$

Now, required cubic polynomial
$=\mathrm{x}^{3}-(\alpha+\beta+\gamma) \mathrm{x}^{2}+(\alpha \beta+\beta \gamma+\gamma \alpha) \mathrm{x}-\alpha \beta \gamma$
$=x^{3}-\left(\frac{5}{7}\right) x^{2}+\left(\frac{1}{7}\right) x-\left(\frac{1}{7}\right)$
$=\frac{7 x^{3}-5 x^{2}+x-1}{7}$
So, 7x3 – 5x2 + x – 1 is the required cubic polynomial which satisfy the given conditions.

Question 15 D 

Find a cubic polynomial with the sum of its zeroes, sum of the products of its zeroes taken two at a time and product of its zeroes as the numbers given below:
$\frac{2}{5}, \frac{1}{10}, \frac{1}{2}$
Sol :
Let the zeroes be α, β and γ.
Then, we have
$\alpha+\beta+\gamma=\frac{2}{5}$
$\alpha \beta+\beta \gamma+\gamma \alpha=\frac{1}{10}$
$\alpha \beta \gamma=\frac{1}{2}$
Now, required cubic polynomial
$=\mathrm{x}^{3}-(\alpha+\beta+\gamma) \mathrm{x}^{2}+(\alpha \beta+\beta \gamma+\gamma \alpha) \mathrm{x}-\alpha \beta \gamma$
$=x^{3}-\left(\frac{2}{5}\right) x^{2}+\left(\frac{1}{10}\right) x-\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$
$=\frac{10 x^{3}-4 x^{2}+x-5}{10}$
So, 10x3 – 4x2 + x – 5 is the required cubic polynomial which satisfy the given conditions.
