Answer:
a) a = – ( 5 + b ) / 9
b) no remainder
Step-by-step explanation:
A) ( ax^3 + bx -6 ) / ( x + 3 )
Remainder = 9
determine the value of a
we will use the result of if ( x + a ) divides polynomial g(x) the remainder is g(a)
therefore given that ( x + 3 ) divides f(x) = ax^3 + bx – 6
= f( -3 ) = 9
= a(- 27 ) – 3b – 6 = 9
= -27a = 9 + 6 + 3b
therefore the term ‘a’ = – ( 15 / 27 + 3b / 27 )
= – ( 5/9 + b/9 )
a = – ( 5 + b ) / 9
b) Find the remainder when (2x^3 – bx^2 + 2ax – 4 ) is divided by (x-2 )
given that ( x -2 ) divides f(x) = 2x^3 – bx^2 + 2ax – 4
also given a = – ( 5 + b ) / 9 from previous polynomial above
= f(2) = ?
= 2(8) -4b + 4a – 4
= 16 – 4b + 4 ( – ( 5 + b ) / 9 ) – 4
= 16 – 4b + (( -20 – 4b ) / 9) – 4
= 16 – 4b – ( 20 – 4b ) / 9) – 4
= 16 – ( 32b – 20 ) / 9) – 4 = ?
therefore the remainder ‘b’ = ( -108 + 20 ) / 32 = – 2 3/4
since the remainder is negative there is no remainder then
