A polynomial is an algebraic expression with non-negative integer exponents and real number coefficients. From the list, option C (3x³ - 2x² + x + 1) qualifies as a polynomial because it satisfies these criteria. Option A (1/x + 2) is not a polynomial due to the negative exponent. Option B (x² + √x) includes a non-integer exponent. Option D (|x| + 3) involves an absolute value, which is not valid in polynomial expressions .

The linear equation is expressed as Total Fare = 10 + 8(x - 1) for x > 1 km. For 5 km, substituting x = 5 gives Total Fare = 10 + 8(5-1) = 10 + 32 = 42₹ .

The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent of the variable in the expression. For 5x - 3x³ + 2, the degree is 3 because the highest power of x is 3 .

For x + 1 to be a factor of x² + x + p, substituting x = -1 into the polynomial should yield zero. Thus, (-1)² + (-1) + p = 0 simplifies to 1 - 1 + p = 0, leading to p = 0 .

The type of triangle is determined by calculating the distances between points. Points A(1, 2), B(3, 2), and C(1, -1) form a right triangle. Calculating, AB = 2, BC = √10, and CA = 3. The Pythagorean theorem holds, confirming a right triangle .

Rina’s model reflects entrepreneurial thinking by combining fixed fees with variable costs to cater to different needs. The linear equation is Total Cost = 500 + 50n, where n is the number of classes. For 10 classes, the cost is 500 + 50(10) = 1000₹ .

The x-coordinate of any point on the y-axis is always 0 because points on the y-axis do not deviate horizontally from the origin .

Polynomial division by x + 1 involves synthetic or long division. Dividing 3x³ + x² - 2x + 5 by x + 1 yields a remainder of 7 after simplifying the division .

To determine if a point lies on a given linear equation, substitute the coordinates into the equation. For the equation 2x + 3y = 6, point C (3,0) lies on the graph as substituting x = 3 and y = 0 yields 6. The other options do not satisfy the equation .

To evaluate the value of a quadratic function at a given point, substitute the point into the function. For f(x) = x² + 2x + 1 at x = -1, the value is f(-1) = (-1)² + 2(-1) + 1 = 1 - 2 + 1 = 0 .
