if x^2- 1 is a factor of ax^4+bx^3+cx^2+dx+e, show that a+e+c=b+d=0
Answers
Answer:
Since x2 - 1 = (x - 1) is a factor of
p(x) = ax4 + bx3 + cx2 + dx + e
∴ p(x) is divisible by (x+1) and (x-1) separately
⇒ p(1) = 0 and p(-1) = 0
p(1) = a(1)4 + b(1)3 + c(1)2 + d(1) + e = 0
⇒ a + b + c + d + e = 0 ---- (i)
Similarly, p(-1) = a (-1)4 + b (-1)3 + c (-1)2 + d (-1) + e = 0
⇒ a - b + c - d + e = 0
⇒ a + c + e = b + d ---- (ii)
Putting the value of a + c + e in eqn , we get
a + b + c + d + e = 0
⇒ a + c + e + b + d = 0
⇒ b + d + b + d = 0
⇒ 2(b+d) = 0
⇒ b + d = 0 ---- (iii)
comparing equations (ii) and (iii) , we get
a + c + e = b + d = 0

Given:
x² -1 is a factor of P(x) = ax⁴ +bx³ + cx²+dx +e
if x² -1 is a factor of P(x) then P(±1) = 0
x² -1 = 0
or, x² = 1
or, x = ± 1
substituting value of x in P(X)
P(x) = ax⁴ +bx³ + cx²+dx +e
or, P(1) : a(1)⁴ + b(1)³ + c (1)²+dx + e = 0
or, P(1) : a + b +c+d+e = 0 ------- equ(1)
Simlarly,
P(-1) : a(-1)⁴ + b(-1)³ + c (-1)²+d(-1) + e = 0
or, P(-1): a -b +c-d + e = 0
or, P(-1): a + c+ e = b +d ------- equ(2)
From equ (1) & (2) , We get
a + c +e = b + d = 0
