Answer:
a = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
p(x) = x^6 - ax^5 + x^4 - ax^3 + 3x - a + 2
since (x-a) is a factor of p(x)
Therefore,
p(a) = (a)^6 - a(a)^5 + (a)^4 - a(a)^3 + 3(a) - a + 2 = 0
=> a^6 - a^6 + a^4 - a^4 + 3a - a + 2 = 0
values with opposite sign will cancelle eachother
then,
=> 3a - a + 2 = 0
=> 2a + 2 = 0
=> 2a = -2
=> a = -2/2
=> a = -1 Ans.
