Answer:
a= -3
b= -13
Step-by-step explanation:
p(x)=x³+ax²+bx+6
(x-2) is a factor.
Therefore x-2=0
x=2
Therefore 2 is the zero of p(x).
p(2)=(2)³+a(2)²+b×2+6=0
=8+4a+2b+6=0
=4a+2b= -14
=2a+b= -7 ...............................Equation 1
When p(x) is divided by (x-3) the remainder is 3.
So when x=3 the p(x) has the remainder 3
p(3)=(3)³+a(3)²+b×3+6=3
=27+9a+3b+6=3
=9a+3b= -30
=3a+b= -10 ................Equation 2
On subtracting Equation 1 with 2
We get,
2a+b-3a-b= -7+10
-a=3
a= -3
On putting the value of a= -3 in equation
We get,
2×-3+b= -7
b= -7-6
b= -13
