The multiplicity of the root $x=1$ for the function $f(x) = x^2(x+1)^3(x-2)^2(x-1)$ is

maths solving equations numerically finding roots by iteration fundamental theorem of algebra complex numbers and linear inequations

  1. $1$

  2. $2$

  3. $3$

  4. $4$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

After factorising $f(x)$, $(x-1)$ is appearing only once 

Multiplicity of the root is the number of times a number is zero of a polynomial.
Here $x=1$ is the zero of $f(x)$ only once as it is appearing one.
So, the multiplicity of the root $x=1$x=1 for the function is one.
Hence, option A is correct.

List the multiplicities of the zeroes of the polynomial $P(x)=x^2-14x+49$

maths solving equations numerically finding roots by iteration fundamental theorem of algebra complex numbers and linear inequations

  1. $x=5$ is a zero of multiplicity $3$.

  2. $x=7$ is a zero of multiplicity $2$.

  3. $x=6$ is a zero of multiplicity $1$.

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Given, $x^2-14x+49$

$\Rightarrow x^2-7x-7x+49$
$\Rightarrow x(x-7)-7(x-7)$
$\Rightarrow (x-7)^2$
So, $x=7$ is a zero of multiplicity $2$.

Is the following quadratic polynomial reducible or irreducible?
$f(x) = x^2 - \sqrt2$

maths solving equations numerically finding roots by iteration fundamental theorem of algebra complex numbers and linear inequations

  1. Reducible with one real root

  2. Reducible with two real roots

  3. Irreducible

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Let $\sqrt 2=a^2\Rightarrow a^2=2^{1/2}\Rightarrow a=2^{1/4}$

So $f(x)=x^2-a^2=(x+a)(x-a)=(x+2^{1/4})(x-2^{1/4})$, using $a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$
So given quadratic is reducible to two real roots

maths solving equations numerically finding roots by iteration fundamental theorem of algebra complex numbers and linear inequations

  1. $\sqrt{2}$

  2. $\sqrt{3}$

  3. $1$

  4. $2$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Given $x=2+\sqrt{3}$ and $xy=1$
$\Rightarrow\,y=\dfrac{1}{x}=\dfrac{1}{2+\sqrt{3}}=\dfrac{2-\sqrt{3}}{4-3}=2-\sqrt{3}$
Let $\sqrt{x}=\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}$
then $x=a+b+2\sqrt{ab}$ by squaring both sides
We have $x=2+\sqrt{3}=a+b+2\sqrt{ab}$
$\Rightarrow\,a+b=2,\,\sqrt{ab}=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ or $ab=\dfrac{3}{4}$
$\Rightarrow\,{\left(a-b\right)}^{2}={\left(a+b\right)}^{2}-4ab=4-4\times \dfrac{3}{4}=4-3=1$
$\Rightarrow\,a-b=1$
$\Rightarrow\,a+b=2,\,a-b=1$
$\Rightarrow\,2a=3$
$\Rightarrow\,a=\dfrac{3}{2}$
Put $a=\dfrac{3}{2}$ in $a+b=2$
$b=2-a=2-\dfrac{3}{2}=\dfrac{4-3}{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}$
$\therefore\,a=\dfrac{3}{2},b=\dfrac{1}{2}$
So,$\sqrt{x}=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{2}}$
$\sqrt{y}=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}+1}\\$
$\sqrt{y}=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}+1}\times\dfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{3}-1}\\$
$=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}\left(\sqrt{3}-1\right)}{3-1}=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}\left(\sqrt{3}-1\right)}{2}\times\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}\\$
$=\dfrac{2\left(\sqrt{3}-1\right)}{2\sqrt{2}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{2}}\\$
Now substitute in the given expression:
$\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{x}}=\dfrac{\left(2+\sqrt{3}\right)\times\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}\times \sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}+1}\\$
$=\dfrac{\left(2+\sqrt{3}\right)\times\sqrt{2}}{2+\sqrt{3}+1}=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}\left(2+\sqrt{3}\right)}{3+\sqrt{3}}\\$
$=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}\left(2+\sqrt{3}\right)}{3+\sqrt{3}}\times\dfrac{3-\sqrt{3}}{3-\sqrt{3}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}\left(3+\sqrt{3}\right)}{6}\\$
$\dfrac{y}{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{y}}=\dfrac{\left(2+\sqrt{3}\right)\times\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}\times \sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3}+1}\\$
$=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}\left(2-\sqrt{3}\right)}{2-\sqrt{3}+1}=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}\left(2-\sqrt{3}\right)}{3-\sqrt{3}}\\$
$=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}\left(2-\sqrt{3}\right)}{3-\sqrt{3}}\times\dfrac{3+\sqrt{3}}{3+\sqrt{3}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}\left(3-\sqrt{3}\right)}{6}\\$
Now,$\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{x}}+\dfrac{y}{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{y}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}\left(3+\sqrt{3}\right)}{6}+\dfrac{\sqrt{2}\left(3-\sqrt{3}\right)}{6}$
$=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}\left(3+\sqrt{3}+3-\sqrt{3}\right)}{6}$
$=\dfrac{6\sqrt{2}}{6}=\sqrt{2}$

  1. Error method

  2. Trial and error method

  3. Testing method

  4. Checking method

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$\Rightarrow$  The method of finding solution by trying out various values for the variable is called $Trial\,and\,error\,method.$

$\Rightarrow$  In this method, we often make a guess of the root of the equation.
$\Rightarrow$  We fine the values of L.H.S and R.H.S of the given equations for different values of the variable.
$\Rightarrow$  The values of the variable for which L.H.S = R.H.S is the root of the equation.

If $f\left( {x,y} \right) = \sqrt {{x^2} + {y^2}}  + \sqrt {{{\left( {x - 1} \right)}^2} + {y^2}}  + \sqrt {{x^2} + {{\left( {y - 1} \right)}^2}}  + \sqrt {{{\left( {x - 3} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {y - 4} \right)}^2}} $ where $x,y \in R$, then the minimum value of $f\left( {x,y} \right)$ is

Consider the equation $(1 + a + b)^{2} = 3(1 + a^{2} + b^{2})$, where a, b are real numbers.
Then

maths solving equations numerically finding roots by iteration fundamental theorem of algebra complex numbers and linear inequations

  1. there is no solution pair (a, b)

  2. there are infinitely many solution pairs (a, b)

  3. there are exactly two solution pairs (a, b)

  4. there is exactly one solution pair (a, b)

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$ (1+a+b)^{2} = 3(1+a^{2}+b^{2}) $

$ \Rightarrow (1+a^{2}+b^{2} + 2a + 2b + 2ab) = 3 + 3a^{2} +3b^{2} $
$ \Rightarrow a^{2}+b^{2} -ab-a-b+1 = 0 $
$ \Rightarrow (a-b)^{2} + ((a-1)(b-1)) = ((a-1)-(b-1))^{2} + ((a-1)(b-1)) = 0 $
Let $ a-1 = x $ and $ b-1 = y $

$ \Rightarrow (x-y)^{2} + (xy) = 0 $
$ \Rightarrow x^{2} - xy + y^{2} = 0 $                                 ...($1$)
Assume $ y \neq 0 $ and divide by $ y^{2} $

$ \Rightarrow \left ( \dfrac{x}{y} \right )^{2} - \dfrac{x}{y} + 1 = 0 $
Substitute $ t = \dfrac{x}{y} $
$ \Rightarrow t^{2} - t + 1 = 0 $
Discriminant $ D = 1-4 = -3 < 0 $. No solution here.

Assume $ y = 0 $ in equation ($1$). It satisfies the equation for $ x = 0 $. Hence the solution is $x=0$ and $y=0$

$ \Rightarrow a=1$ and $b=1$
