QUESTION:-
The polynomial ax³+bx²+x-6 has (x+2) as a factor and leaves a remainder 4 when divided by (x-2) .Find a and b
EXPLANATION:-
Let :-
p(x)=ax³+bx²+x-6
Using remainder theorem ,
x+2=0
x=-2
Since p(-2)=0
→p(-2)=a(-2)³+b(-2)²+x-6
→p(-2)=-8+4b-8
[p(-2)=0]
→-2a+b=2 (i)
Also when p(x) is divided by(x-2) remainder is o
→x-2=0
→x=2
→p(2)=4
→p(2)=a(2)³+b(2)²+(2)-6
→p(2)=8a+4b-4
→8a+4b=8
→2a+b=2 (ii)
(i)+(ii)
→(-2a+b)+(2a+b)=2+2
→2b=4
→b=2
put b=2 in (i)
→-2a+2=2
→-2a=0
→a=0
Thus,
a=0 and b=2
