1.	If x - 2 is a factor of each of the following two polynomials, find the values of a in each case : (i) x3−2ax2 + ax - 1 (ii) x5−3x4−ax3+3ax2 + 2ax + 4
Answer» If x - 2 is a factor of each of the following two polynomials, find the values of a in each case : (i) $x^{3} - 2 a x^{2}$ + ax - 1 (ii) $x^{5} - 3 x^{4} - a x^{3} + 3 a x^{2}$ + 2ax + 4

If x - 2 is a factor of each of the following two polynomials, find the values of a in each case : (i) x3−2ax2 + ax - 1 (ii) x5−3x4−ax3+3ax2 + 2ax + 4

Answer»

If x - 2 is a factor of each of the following two polynomials, find the values of a in each case :

(i) $x^{3} - 2 a x^{2}$ + ax - 1

(ii) $x^{5} - 3 x^{4} - a x^{3} + 3 a x^{2}$ + 2ax + 4
