19. For what value of p is 2x3 + px2 + 11x + p + 3 exactly divisible by (2x – 1) ? |

Answer» <P>Answer: Replace p with aGIVEN : Let Polynomial F(x)=2x³+ax²+11x+a+3 …….(1)Polynomial is exactly DIVISIBLE by 2x-1 if the remainder is 0.2x -1= 02x = 1x = ½By remainder theorem, when f(x) is divided by (2x-1) then remainder = f(½)On Putting x= ½ in eq 1f(1/2)=2(1/2)³+a(1/2)²+11(1/2)+a+30 =2(⅛)+a/4+11/2+a+30 = ¼+a/4+11/2+a+30 = ¼ + 11/2 +3 +a/4 +a0 = (1+22+12)/4 +(a + 4a)/40= 35/4 + 5a/4-35/4 = 5a/4-35 = 5aa = -35/5a = -7Hence, the value of a is -7HOPE THIS ANSWER WILL HELP YOU… |
