If the polynomial (2x + 3 ) is a factor of the polynomial
2x3 + 9x2 - x – b. The value of b is_______
15
If the polynomial (2x + 3 ) is a factor of the polynomial
2x3 + 9x2 - x – b , then the remainder on division of the polynomial
2x3 + 9x2 - x – b by (2x + 3 ) is zero.
On long division , of the polynomial
2x3 + 9x2 - x – b by (2x + 3 ) ,the remainder is –b + 15
-b + 15 = 0
⇒ b = 15
