15. Rakesh, Raj and Asha are completing their maths homework given by
the teacher. Following question is given to them.
Give example of quadratic binomial.
Raj wrote p(x)= (x-4)(x-2). Rakesh wrote p(x)=x2-4 and Asha 8x2.
Who is/are correct? Justify your answer. Ans: Rakesh
16. Assertion: If (x + 1) is a factor of f(x) = x + ax + 2 then a = – 3.
