Maharashtra Board Class 8 Maths Chapter 10 Division of Polynomials Practice Set 10.2 Solution

Division of Polynomials Class 8 Practice Set 10.2 Question 1. Divide and write the quotient and the remainder.
i. (y² + 10y + 24) ÷ (y + 4)
ii. (p² + 7p – 5) ÷ (p + 3)
iii. (3x + 2x² + 4x³) ÷ (x – 4)
iv. (2m³ + m² + m + 9) ÷ (2m – 1)
v. (3x – 3x² – 12 + x⁴ + x³) ÷ (2 + x²)
vi. (a⁴ – a³ + a² – a + 1) ÷ (a³ – 2)
vii. (4x⁴ – 5x³ – 7x + 1) ÷ (4x – 1)
Solution:
i. (y² + 10y + 24) ÷ (y + 4)

∴ Quotient = y + 6
Remainder = 0

ii. (p² + 7p – 5) ÷ (p + 3)

∴ Quotient = p + 4
Remainder = -17

iii. (3x + 2x² + 4x³) ÷ (x – 4)
Write the dividend in descending order of their indices.
3x + 2x² + 4x³ = 4x³ + 2x² + 3x

∴ Quotient = 4x² + 18x + 75
Remainder = 300

iv. (2m³ + m² + m + 9) ÷ (2m – 1)

∴ Quotient = m² + m + 1
Remainder = 10

v. (3x – 3x² – 12 + x⁴ + x³) ÷ (2 + x²)
Write the dividend in descending order of their indices.
(x⁴ + x³ – 3x² + 3x – 12) ÷ (x² + 2)

∴ Quotient = x² + x – 5
Remainder = x – 2

vi. (a⁴ – a³ + a² – a + 1) ÷ (a³ – 2)

∴ Quotient = a – 1
Remainder = a² + a – 1

vii. (4x⁴ – 5x³ – 7x + 1) ÷ (4x – 1)
Write the dividend in descending order of their indices.
(4x⁴ – 5x³ – 7x + 1) = (4x⁴ – 5x³ + 0x² – 7x + 1)
