Let p-1,p,p+1 be the roots of given polynomial Now p-1+p+p+1=-b/a1 (P-1)p(p+1)=-d/a1 Compare given polynomial with a1x^3+bx^2+cx+d=0 We get a1=1, b=-12, c=39, d=a 3p=-(-12) P=12/3=4 Therefore (4-1), 4, (4+1)= 3, 4, 5 are zeroes of the polynomial (p-1)p(p+1)=-a 3×4×5=-a -60=a

Let the zeroes be A-D , D and A+D ( as zeroes of the polynomial are in AP) then sum of zeroes = -(coeff. of x2)/(coeff of x3) = 12 A-D+D+A+D = 12, 3A=12 A=4 Since, A is a zero of the polynomial, it satisfy the eqn. p(A)=0 therefore placing x=A in eqn, we get A3-12A2+39A+a = 64-192+156+a = 0 ...

Evaluate the product without multiplying directly: 103 x 107?
103 x 107 = (100 + 3)(100 + 7) We know that (x + a)(x + b) = x^2 + (a + b)x + ab Therefore, 103 x 107 = 100^2 + (3 + 7) x 100 + 3 x 7 = 10000 + 1000 + 21 = 11021

Let the price of the refrigerator without sales tax = P. Here, the selling price S = 17600 and the rate of sales tax i.e., r = 10 S = P(1 + r/100) 1700= P(1 + 10/100) P * 11/10 = Rs. 17600 Therefore,...
