2x to the power 3 -8x -5x +15 by x-3 by polonium division method
Answers
Polonium is a chemical element with the symbol Po and atomic number 84. Polonium is a chalcogen. A rare and highly radioactive metal with no stable isotopes, polonium is chemically similar to selenium and tellurium, though its metallic character resembles that of its horizontal neighbors in the periodic table: thallium, lead, and bismuth. Due to the short half-life of all its isotopes, its natural occurrence is limited to tiny traces of the fleeting polonium-210 (with a half-life of 138 days) in uranium ores, as it is the penultimate daughter of natural uranium-238. Though slightly longer-lived isotopes exist, they are much more difficult to produce. Today, polonium is usually produced in milligram quantities by the neutron irradiation of bismuth. Due to its intense radioactivity, which results in the radiolysis of chemical bonds and radioactive self-heating, its chemistry has mostly been investigated on the trace scale only.
−6 must be added to the polynomial 2x3+9x2−5x−15 so that the resulting polynomial is exactly divisible by 2x+3
Step by step explanation :
Given polynomial is P(X)=2x3+9x2−5x−15
Let a is the number which must be added to above polynomial so that it is exactly divisible by 2x+3
So, by remainder theorem
P(2−3)+a=0
⇒2(2−3)3+9(2−3)2−5(2−3)−15+a=0
⇒4−27+481+2−15+a=0
⇒6+a=0⇒a=−6
Hence, −6 must be added to the polynomial 2x3+9x2−5x−15 so that the resulting polynomial is exactly divisible by 2x+3
