If x^140 +2x^151+k is divisible by x+1 then value of k is

Answer»

Zero of ( x + 1 ) = -1.

By Remainder Theorem,

P ( x ) = x ^ 140 + 2 x ^ 151 + K

P ( 1 ) = ( -1 ) ^ 140 + 2 ( -1 ) ^ 151 + k = 0

             1 + 2 ( -1 ) + k = 0

             1 -2 + k = 0

            -1 + k = 0

              k = 1.
