Q:

Given that the polynomial (x2+ ax+ b) leaves that same remainder when by (x –1) or (x + 1) What are the values of a and b respectively?

A) 4 and 0 B) 0 and 3
C) 3 and 0 D)  0 and any interger
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D)  0 and any interger

Explanation:

Since x^2+ ax + b when divided by x-1 or x+1 leaves the same remainder

So on putting x=1 and x=-1 we get the same value

1+a+b = 1-a+b

2a=0

a=0

here b can take any value as it will always get cancelled out

Q:

If 3x= 4y= 12, then z is equal to

A) xy B) x + y
C) xy/x+Y D) 4x +3y
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) xy/x+Y

Explanation:
Taking log of all 3 we get
xln3 = yln4 =
zln12 = k
z = k/ln12 = k / ln(
3*4) = k/ln3 + ln4 = k / (k/x +k/y) = xy / (x+y)

Q:

If ab+c=bc+a=Cb+athen which one of the following statements is correct?

A) Each fraction is equal to 1 or -1 B) Each fraction is equal to 1/2 or 1
C) Each fraction is equal to 1/2 or -1 D) Each fraction is equal to 1.2 only
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Each fraction is equal to 1/2 or -1

Explanation:

a/(b+c) = b/(c+a) = c/(a+b)

Taking reciprocal and adding 1 to each ratio we get;

(b+c)/a + 1 = b/(c+a) + 1 = c/(a+b) + 1

Or (a+b+c)/a = (a+b+c)/b = (a+b+c)/c

So this can only be equal when a=b=c or a+b+c = 0

When a=b=c we get

a/(b+c)= ½When a+b+c = 0 we get

b+c = -a

So a/(b+c) = -1

So the ratios are ½ or -1
