Answer:
a)0
Step-by-step explanation:
p(x)= x³-3x²a+2a²x+b
g(x)= x-a
x-a=0
x= a
p(a)= a³-3(a)²a+2a²(a)+b=0
a³-3a³+2a³+b=0
b= 0
hope this helps

Answer:
b=0
Step-by-step explanation:
p(x)= x³-3x²a+2a²x+b
g(x)= x-a
Given that g(x) is a factor of p(x)
By remainder theorem:
g(x)=0
x-a=0
x= a
p(x)= x³-3x²a+2a²x+b
p(a)= a³-3(a)²a+2a²(a)+b=0
a³-3a³+2a³+b=0
b= 0 is your answer.
What is remainder theorem?
The remainder theorem states the following: If you divide a polynomial f(x) by (x - h), then the remainder is f(h). The theorem states that our remainder equals f(h). Therefore, we do not need to use long division, but just need to evaluate the polynomial when x = h to find the remainder.
