Question

The greatest value of X, for which 13x 4x 4 is divisible by 3, is


9

8

7

5


​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Dividend = x^2 – 13x – 44

Divisor = x + 3

Concept used:

If f(x) is divided by (x + n), then the remainder can be obtained by substituting x = -n in the given equation

Calculations:

Substituting x = -3 in the given equation

f(x) = x^2 – 13x – 44

⇒ (-3)2 – 13 × (-3) – 44

⇒ 9 + 39 – 44

⇒ 4

∴ The remainder when (x^2 – 13x – 44) is divided by (x + 3) is 4
