Class IX Mathematics Assignment: Number System & Polynomials
Detailed Solutions with Steps
1. Find 5 rational numbers between 3/5 and 2/3.
Step 1: Convert both to a common denominator:
3/5 = 18/30 and 2/3 = 20/30
Step 2: Find numbers between 18/30 and 20/30:
Examples: 181/300, 182/300, 183/300, 184/300, 185/300
Final Answer: 181/300, 182/300, 183/300, 184/300, 185/300
2. Express the following decimals in form of p/q:(a) 0.235 (b) 0.02
0.235 = 235/1000 = 47/200
0.02 = 2/100 = 1/50
3. Simplify:(a) (2sqrt2 + 5sqrt3 - 7sqrt5) + (3sqrt3 - sqrt2 + sqrt5) - (2sqrt3 - 5sqrt2 + 2sqrt5)
Group like terms:
sqrt2: 2 - 1 + 5 = 6sqrt2
sqrt3: 5 + 3 - 2 = 6sqrt3
sqrt5: -7 + 1 - 2 = -8sqrt5
Final Answer: 6sqrt2 + 6sqrt3 - 8sqrt5
4. (b) (3 + sqrt3)(2 + sqrt2)^2
Step 1: (2 + sqrt2)^2 = 4 + 4sqrt2 + 2 = 6 + 4sqrt2
Step 2: (3 + sqrt3)(6 + 4sqrt2) = 18 + 12sqrt2 + 6sqrt3 + 4sqrt6
5. Locate sqrt3 on number line.
1. Draw number line and mark 0 and 1.
2. Construct perpendicular of 1 unit from 1.
3. Connect to origin to form sqrt2.
4. Repeat construction with sqrt2 base and 1 unit up.
5. Hypotenuse gives sqrt3. Mark with compass.
6. Rationalise the denominator:(a) 1/(sqrt6 - 7)
Multiply numerator and denominator by conjugate: (sqrt6 + 7)
Result = (sqrt6 + 7)/(6 - 49) = (sqrt6 + 7)/-43
7. (b) (3 - 2sqrt2)/(3 + 2sqrt2)
Multiply by conjugate: (3 - 2sqrt2)

Detailed Solutions with Steps
Numerator: (3 - 2sqrt2)^2 = 17 - 12sqrt2
Denominator: 9 - 8 = 1
Result: 17 - 12sqrt2
8. Simplify: (13+11)/(13-11) + (13-11)/(13+11)
= 24/2 + 2/24 = 12 + 1/12 = 145/12
9. If p(x) = x^3 - 3x^2 + 2x, find p(0), p(1), p(2).
p(0) = 0, p(1) = 0, p(2) = 0
Conclusion: All are zeroes of the polynomial.
10. Find remainder of 2x^3 - 7x^2 + 9x - 13 divided by x - 3
Use Remainder Theorem: x = 3
p(3) = 54 - 63 + 27 - 13 = 5
11. Show x + sqrt2 is factor of 2sqrt2x^2 + 5x + sqrt2
Put x = -sqrt2
Result = 0 Hence x + sqrt2 is a factor.
12. Projectile: p(t) = 5t^2 - 2t + 1(a) Degree?(b) Value at t = 3?(c) Any integral zeroes?
(a) Degree = 2
(b) p(3) = 45 - 6 + 1 = 40
(c) D = -16 No integral zeroes
13. Value of (1 / (1 - 2^-4256))
2^-4256 is almost zero 1/(1 - tiny) 1
Answer: d) 1/2 (as per given options)
14. If sqrt2 = 1.414, sqrt3 = 1.732, find 1/(sqrt3 + sqrt2)
Rationalise: (sqrt3 - sqrt2)/(3 - 2) = sqrt3 - sqrt2 = 1.732 - 1.414 = 0.318
Answer: (c)
15. Degree of zero polynomial?
Answer: (d) Not defined

16. Value of p(x) = x^2 + 3x at x = -3
p(-3) = 9 - 9 = 0 Answer: (b) 0
17. If 4^{2x+3} = 2^{3x-1}, find x.
Convert 4 as 2^2 2^{4x+6} = 2^{3x-1} 4x + 6 = 3x - 1 x = -7
