If the following polynomials, when p(x) and q(x) are divided by (x-4), leave the samereminder in each case. Find the value of'k':*p (x)kxcube + 3x2 - 3 & q(x) = 2x3– 5x + k​

Answer»

Solution :-

p(x) = kx³ + 3x² - 3

→ p(4) = k(4)³ + 3(4)² - 3

→ p(4) = (64k) + 3*16 - 3

→ p(4) = (64k) + 48 - 3

→ p(4) = (64k) + 45

Similarly,

Q(x) = 2x³ - 5x + k

→ q(4) = 2(4)³ - 5*4 + k

→ q(4) = 2*64 - 20 + k

→ q(4) = 128 - 20 + k

→ q(4) = 108 + k

Now, since remainder is same in each case,

64k + 45 = 108 + k

→ 64k - k = 108 - 45

→ 63k = 63

→ k = 1 (Ans.)

Hence, VALUE of k will be 1 .
