Question

if x - 2 is a factor of a polynomial f (x) = x^5 - 3x^4 - ax^3 + 3ax^2 + 2ax + 4 then find the value of a ( 1 , - 8 )
plz answer step by step
and properly​

Answer 1

Answer:

If x-2 is factor then 2 satisfies the given equation.

Therefore (2)^5-3(2)^4-a(2)^3+3a(2)^2+2a(2)+4=0

32-48-8a+12a+4a+4=0

-12+8a=0

a=12/8

a=3/2
