8) The value of f(x) = 5x−4x2+3 when x = -1, is:

a. 3

b. -12

c. -6

d. 6

Answer: c

Explanation: When x= -1

f(x)=5x−4x2+3

f(−1)=5(−1) −4(−1)2+3

=−5–4+3

=−6

9) The value of p(t) = 2+t+2t2−t3 when t=0 is

a. 2

b. 1

c. 4

d. 0

Answer: a

Explanation: p(0)=2+0+2(0)2–(0)3=2

10) The zero of the polynomial f(x) = 2x+7 is

a. 2/7

b. -2/7

c. 7/2

d. -7/2

Answer: d

Explanation: f(x)=2x+7

⇒2x+7=0

⇒2x=−7

⇒x=−7/2

∴x = −7/2 is a zero polynomial of the polynomial f(x).

11) What is the degree of the polynomial √3?

a. 0

b. 1

c. 1/2

d. 2

Answer: c

Explanation: The polynomial √3 can also be written as 31/2.

Hence, the degree of the polynomial √3 is 1/2.

12) The degree of the constant polynomial is

a. 0

b. 1

c. 2

d. 3

Answer: 0

Explanation: The degree of the constant polynomial is 0. For example, 3 is a constant polynomial that is equal to 3x0, and its degree is 0.

13) One of the linear factors of 3x2+8x+5 is

a. (x+1)

b. (x-2)

c. (x+2)

d. (x-4)

Answer: a

Explanation: 3x2+8x+5 = 3x2+ 3x+5x+5 

3x2+8x+5 = 3x(x+1)+5(x+1)

3x2+8x+5 = (3x+5)(x+1)

Therefore, (x+1) is one of the factors of 3x2+8x+5.

14) The coefficient of x in 7x2+6x-2 is 

a. 2

b. 6

c. -2

d. 7

Answer: b

Explanation: The coefficient of x in 7x2+6x-2 is 6. Because the number multiplied by x is 6.

15) Which of the following is an example of the quadratic polynomial?

a. 7x+3

b. 2x2+x-1

c. x+3x3-9

d. None of the above

Answer: b

16) Find the value of 72-52.

a. 22

b. 23

c. 24

d. 25

Answer: c

Explanation: 72-52 = 49 – 25 = 24.

17) If x2+kx+6 = (x+2)(x+3) for all k, find the value of k.

a. -1

b. 1

c. 3

d. 5

Answer: d

Explanation: x2+kx+6 = (x+2)(x+3) 

x2+kx+6 = x2+3x+2x+6

x2+kx+6 = x2+5x+6

Hence, the value of k is 5.

18) What is the zero of the polynomial p(x)=cx+d?

a. -c

b. -d

c. -d/c

d. d/c

Answer: c

Explanation: The zero of the polynomial p(x)= cx+d is -d/c.
