12. Divide x3  2 x  3 by x + 3 and verify the division algorithm  p (x)  g(x)  q(x)  r(x) .
13. What should be added in the polynomial x3  2 x 2  9 x  1 , so that it is completely divisible by x + 4?
Note:- After divide we get 5 as a remainder. So – 5 is to be added in polynomial. [Ans.– 5]
3 and  3 .]
14. Find all the zeroes of 3 x 4  11x 3  x 2  33 x  24 , if you know that two of its zeroes are
8
[Ans. 3,  3, and 1 ]

15. Find the value of k, for which polynomial p(x) = x  10 x  25 x  15 x  k is exactly divisible by
4 3 2

polynomial g(x) = x  7 . [k =  9]
Note: Put x =  7 in p(x) because p(x) is exactly divisible by x + 7. Hence x =  7 is a zero of p(x).
