Question

If (2x-1) is a factor of 4x³-16x²+10x+k find the value of k....

Answer 1

Answer:

if (2x-1) is factor then

x=1/2 satisfies the equation

then

4×1/8 -16×1/4+10/2+k=0

1/2 -4+5+k=0

k=-3/2

ok

follow me

guys

Answer 2

$\huge\star{\underline{\mathfrak{Answer}}}$

factor = 2x - 1

=> 2x - 1 = 0

=> 2x = 1

=> x = 1 / 2 = 0.5

Therefore f ( x ) = 0.5

Substituting in the equation we get,

Equation : 4x³ - 16x² + 10x + k

=> 4 ( 0.5 )³ - 16 ( 0.5 )² + 10 ( 0.5 ) + k = 0

=> 4 ( 0.125 ) - 16 ( 0.25 ) + 5 + k = 0

=> 0.5 - 4 + 5 + k = 0

=> 1 + 0.5 + k = 0

=> 1.5 + k = 0

=> k = - 1.5

Therefore the value of ' k ' is equal to ( - 3 / 2 ) or - 1.5.
