Question

4. Of (x - 2) is a factor of 2x^2 + px – 14, then find the value of p.​

Answer 1

Answer:

p = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If x - 2 is a factor of thee polynomial then, x = 2 is a zero of the polynomial.

Substituting x = 2:

2*2² + p(2) - 14 = 0

8 + 2p - 14 = 0

p = 3

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 +px -14

X-2 x= 2

2(2)^2+p2-14=0

8+2p-14=0

-6+2p=o

2p=6

P=6/2

P=3
