Question 5
answer fastly and correctly
Answers
Given f(x) = x^4 - 6x^3 + 16x^2 - 25x + 10.
Given g(x) = x^2 - 2x + k.
Now,
x^2 - 2x + k) x^4 - 6x^3 + 16x^2 - 25x + 10 ( x^2 - 4x + (8 - k)
x^4 - 2x^3 + kx^2
--------------------------------------------
-4x^3 + (16 - k)x^2 - 25x
-4x^3 + 8x^2 - 4kx
----------------------------------------------
(8 - k)x^2 + (-25 + 4k)x + 10
(8 - k)x^2 - 2(8 - k)x + k(8 - k)
--------------------------------------------------------
(-25 + 4k + 16 - 2k)x + 10 - 8k + k^2
Now,
(i) -25 + 4k + 16 - 2k = 1
=> -9 + 2k = 1
= > 2k = 10
= > k = 5.
(ii)
= > 10 - 8k + k^2 = a
= > 10 - 8(5) + (5)^2 = a
= > 10 - 40 + 25 = a
= > -30 + 25 = a
= > a = -5.
Hope this helps!
