GSEB Solutions Class 9 Maths Chapter 2 Polynomials Ex 2.1

Question 1.
Which of the following expressions are polynomials in one variable and which are not? State reasons for your answer.
(i) 4x² – 3x + 7
(ii) y² + √2
(iii) 3√t + t√2
(iv) y + 1/2
(v) x¹⁰ + y³ + t⁵⁰
Solution:
(i) 4x² – 3x + 7
This is a polynomial in one variable x whose powers are non-negative integers. So this polynomial is in one variable.

(ii) y² + y√2
This polynomial is in one variable y whose exponents are in whole numbers. So this polynomial is in one variable.

(iii) 3√t + t√2
This is not a polynomial because exponent of t is 1/2 which is not a whole number.

(iv) y + 2/y This is not a polynomial because exponent 2/y of i.e., 2y^-1 is negative which is not a whole number. So this is not a polynomial in one variable.

(v) x¹⁰ + y³ + t⁵⁰
This polynomial is in three variables x, y and t. Their exponents are in whole numbers. So this is a polynomial in three variables.

Question 2.
Write the coefficients of x2 in each of the following:

Question 3.
Give one example each of a binomial of degree 35, and of a monomial of degree 100.
Solution:
5x³⁵ + 9 and 7x¹⁰⁰

Question 4.
Write the degree of each of the following polynomials:
(i) 5x³ + 4x² + 7x
(ii) 4 – y²
(iii) 5t – √7
(iv) 3
Solution:
(i) 5x³ + 4x² + 7x
The term 5x³ is highest power in x whose power is 3. Therefore degree of polynomial is 3.

(ii) 4 – y²
-y² is highest power iny which has power 2.
S0 degree of polynomial is 2.

(iii) 5t – √7
5t has highest power in t which has power 1. So degree of polynomial is 1.

(iv) 3 has no variable i.e., exponent of variable is 0. Therefore degree of constant polynomial is 0.

Question 5.
Classify the following as linear, quadratic and cubic polynomials.
(i) x² + x
(ii) x – x³
(iii) y + y² + 4
(iv) 1 + x
(v) 3t
(vi) r²
(vii) 7x³
Solution:
(i) x² + x Quadratic (Highest degree 2)
(ii) x – x³ Cubic (Highest degree 3)
(iii) y + y² + 4 Quadratic (Highest degree 2)
(iv) 1 + x Linear (Highest degree 1)
(v) 3t Linear (Highest degree 1)
(vi) r² Quadratic (Highest degree 2)
(vii) 7x³ Cubic (Highest degree 3)
