Question:
Find the value of 'a' if (x + a) is a factor of the polynomial p(x) = x⁴ - a²x² + 3x - a
Answer:
a = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
(x + a) is a factor of the polynomial p(x) = x⁴ - a²x² + 3x - a
To find :
the value of a
Solution :
(x + a) is a factor
⇒ x + a = 0
⇒ x = -a
Put x = -a, then
p(-a) = 0
(-a)⁴ - a²(-a)² + 3(-a) - a = 0
a⁴ - a²(a²) - 3a - a = 0
a⁴ - a⁴ - 4a = 0
-4a = 0
a = 0/-4
a = 0
Therefore, the value of a is 0.
