Question

(x-2) is one of the factor of 3x - 2a find the value of a

Answer 1

If (x - 2) is a factor, then p(2) = 0, i.e.,

3(2) - 2a = 0

6 - 2a = 0

a = 3

Answer 2

Answer:

a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : (x - 2) is a factor of 3x - 2a.

To find the value of x, (x - 2) should be equal to zero.

→ (x - 2) = 0

→ x - 2 = 0

→ x = 2

Now,

If (x - 2) is a factor, then it can make the whole polynomial equal to zero.

The value of 3x - 2a is :

→ 3(2) - 2a = 0

→ 6 - 2a = 0

→ 2a = 6

→ a = 6/2

→ a = 3

Hence, the value of a is 3.
