Question

The polynomials ax3 + 3x2 − 3 and 2x3 − 5x + a when divided by (x − 4) leave the remainders R1 and R2 respectively. Find the values of a in each of the following cases, if

(a) R1 = R2

(b) R1 + R2 = 0

(c) 2R1 − R2 = 0

Solution

Let us denote the given polynomials as

Now, we will find the remaindersandwhenandrespectively are divided by.

By the remainder theorem, whenis divided bythe remainder is

By the remainder theorem, whenis divided bythe remainder is

(i) By the given condition,

R1 = R2

(ii) By the given condition,

R1 + R2 = 0

(iii) By the given condition,

2R1 − R2 = 0
