Solutions
Case Study 2
Amit along with his four friends visited the house of Rohit, who was a common friend.
There they meet his father, who was having keen interest in mathematics. Rohit's
father wanted to test the practical knowledge of all his friends, so he showed some
objects like a cuboid shaped geometry box, a rectangular photo frame, a circular
cardboard, square shaped files and a cube. He started asking the following questions
one by one.

On the basis of the above information, solve the following questions:


Solutions
Case Study 3

On the basis of the above information, solve the following questions:


Solutions
1. (c) The amount donated by Swati in the expression form is algebraic expression.

So, option (c) is correct.


Case Study 4
In the current scenario, people use such door whose top half part is made of glass
and bottom half part is wooden.

The glass portion of the door is having length and width in the ratio of 5: 3. The
wooden frame around the glass portion adds 11 inches to the total width and 14
inches to the total length. Consider the length of the glass portion as 5x inches:

On the basis of the above information, solve the following questions:

Q1. Find the total length of the glass portion of the door (in inches) is
represented in terms of x.

Q 2. Find the total width of the glass portion of the door (in inches).

Q3. Write the polynomial representation of the area top half part of the door.

Q4. Find the zeroes of the polynomial representing the area.

Solutions
1. The total length of the glass portion in the door is represented by (5x + 14) inches.

2. The total width of the glass portion in the door is (3x + 11) inches.

3. The area of top half part of the door

4. We have area, p(x) = (5x + 14) (3x + 11)

For finding zeroes, put p(x) = 0

Searching for polynomial zeroes aids understanding of polynomial solutions by demonstrating how values of x satisfy the equation p(x) = 0, thus helping visually grasp the concept of roots and their representation in problem-solving scenarios usually explored in classroom settings .

To identify quadratic polynomials, examine each student's polynomial and check for the highest degree term being x². Count the number of such occurrences among the polynomials listed on the board .

Understanding the factorization of polynomials enhances problem-solving skills by allowing one to simplify complex expressions, identify roots, and express polynomial equations in simpler forms, thus making analyses and solving related problems more accessible and efficient in varying mathematical contexts .

To determine the total width of the door's glass portion, add the additional 11 inches to the expression 3x representing the base width, yielding the total width as (3x + 11) inches .

To solve for the zeros of a polynomial p(x) determined by the quadratic equation, say p(x) = (5x + 14)(3x + 11), set the polynomial to zero, i.e., p(x) = 0, and solve for x. This involves factoring the equation or using quadratic formula principles .

To factorize 9x² – 361, recognize it as a difference of squares, which can be expressed as (3x)² - (19)². This leads to the factors (3x - 19)(3x + 19).

The additional inches added to dimensions affect area calculations by necessitating adjustments in dimensional expressions. For instance, with (5x + 14) and (3x + 11) for length and width of the glass in door calculations, these additions must be included in deriving the polynomial for total area, leading to different zero solutions .

The correct form of an algebraic expression representing a donated amount can be identified by evaluating the options given in the context, where option (c) would accurately represent this hence it was noted as correct .

The polynomial expression for the area of the top half of the door is given by the product (5x + 14)(3x + 11), where 5x and 3x are the respective length and width of the glass portion in terms of x, and 14 and 11 are the additional dimensions added to length and width, respectively .

To find the zeroes of the polynomial p(x) = -2x - 5, solve the equation -2x - 5 = 0 for x. Adding 5 to both sides and then dividing by -2 yields x = -5/2 .
