Answers
Answer:
k=-10
Step-by-step explanation:
y=½
3x(½)³-3/2x½²+½k+5 =0
⅜-⅜+k/2+5 =0
k/2+5 =0
k/2=-5
k=-10

Given,
A polynomial 3y³ - 3/2y² + ky + 5 is exactly divisible by (y- 1/2).
To find,
The value of k
Solution,
Since, (y-1/2)=0 is the root of the polynomial 3y³ - 3/2y²+ ky + 5.
Hence, y = 1/2 would satisfy the given polynomial.
Now,
⇒ 3y³ - 3/2y² + ky + 5 = 0
⇒ 3(1/2)³ - 3/2(1/2)² + (1/2)k + 5 = 0
⇒ 3(1/8) - 3 / 2(1/4) + (1/2)k + 5 = 0
⇒ 3/8 - 6 + (1/2)k + 5 = 0
Taking the LCM of left hand side of the equation as 40
⇒ (3 - 48 + 4k + 40) / 8 = 0
⇒ 4k - 5 = 0
-5 would shift from LHS to RHS and its sign would change from -5 to +5.
⇒ 4k - 5 = 0
⇒ 4k = 5
⇒ k = 5/4.
Hence, the value of k = 5/4 for which the polynomial l 3y³ - 3/2y²+ ky + 5. would actually be divisible by (y-1/2) = 0
