If 0 and 1 are the zeroes of the polynomial f(x)= 2x²-3x + ax+ b, is divided by (x - 2) leaves remainder 2, and (X + 2) leaves remainder -2. Find a and b.
STEP 1.
When we say that x=0 and x=-1 are “the roots of the polynomial g(x)” we mean that when x=0 or x=-1, g(x)=0. So let’s start by replacing x with those values of x.
- g(0) = 2(0)³ -3(0)² +a(0) +b = 0
- g(-1) = 2(-1)³ -3(-1)² +a(-1) +b = 0
STEP 2.
Simplify each of those equations by multiplying.
- g(0) = 0 -0 +0 +b = 0
- g(-1) = -2 -3 -a +b = 0
STEP 3.
Simplify each of those equations by adding.
- g(0) = b = 0
- g(-1) = -5 -a +b = 0
STEP 4.
In the first equation b=0. Replace with b with 0 in the second equation and simplify.
- g(-1) = -5 -a +0 = 0
- g(-1) = -5 -a = 0
- a=-5
So a=-5, b=0,
Hence the value of
- a = -5.
- b = 0 .
