Question

Find the value of "a", if (x+2) is a factor of x² + 5x + a,.? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

a=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-x+2 is a factor of x²+5x+a

To find:-The value of 'a'

Solution:-

x+2=0

x=0-2

x=-2

Let's substitute '-2' in the place of 'x'

p(x)=x²+5x+a=0

p(-2)=(-2)²+5(-2)+a=0

4+(-10)+a=0

4-10+a=0

-6+a=0

a=0+6

a=6
