Answer:
value of a is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey Mate ,
Here is the answer ,
______________________________________________________________
If (x+a) is a factor of 2x² + 2ax + 5x + 10 .
Then putting x = -a will give result as 0.
2(-a)² + 2a*a + 5a + 10 = 0
=> 2a² - 2a² + 5a + 10 = 0
=> 5a + 10 = 0
=> 5a = -10
=> a = -2
