1. (i) p(x) = x² + x + k Putting x - 1 = 0, we get, x = 1 Using remainder theorem, when p(x) = x² + x + k is divided by x - 1, remainder is given by p(1) = (1)² + (1) + k = 2 + k Since x - 1 is a factor of p(x), hence remainder p(1) = 0 ⇒ 2 + k = 0 ⇒ k = -2

    (i) p(x) = x² + x + k
    Putting x – 1 = 0, we get, x = 1
    Using remainder theorem, when p(x) = x² + x + k is divided by x – 1, remainder is given by p(1)
    = (1)² + (1) + k
    = 2 + k
    Since x – 1 is a factor of p(x), hence remainder p(1) = 0
    ⇒ 2 + k = 0
    ⇒ k = -2

  2. (ii) p(x) = 2x² + kx + √2 Putting x - 1 = 0, we get, x = 1 Using remainder theorem, when p(x) = 2x² + kx + √2 is divided by x - 1, remainder is given by p(1) = 2(1)² + k(1) + √2 = 2 + k + √2 Since x - 1 is a fctor of p(x), hence remainder p(1) = 0 ⇒ 2 + k + √2 = 0 ⇒ k = -2 - √2

    (ii) p(x) = 2x² + kx + √2
    Putting x – 1 = 0, we get, x = 1

    Putting x – 1 = 0, we get, x = 1
    Using remainder theorem, when p(x) = kx² – √2 x + 1 is divided by x – 1, remainder is given by p(1)

    Since x – 1 is a factor of p(x), hence remainder p(1) = 0
    ⇒ k – √2 + 1 = 0

  4. (iv) p(x) = kx² - 3x + k Putting x - 1 = 0, we get, x = 1 Using remainder theorem, when p(x) = kx² - 3x + k is divided by x - 1, remainder is given by p(1) = k(1)² - 3(1) + k = 2k - 3 Since x - 1 is a factor p(x), hence remainder p(1) = 0 ⇒ 2k - 3 = 0 ⇒ k = 3/2

    (iv) p(x) = kx² – 3x + k
    Putting x – 1 = 0, we get, x = 1
    Using remainder theorem, when p(x) = kx² – 3x + k is divided by x – 1, remainder is given by p(1)
