24. Find the value of a, if x + 2 is a factor of 4x4 + 2x3 – 3x2 + 8x + 5a

Solution:

We know that x + 2 is a factor of 4x4 + 2x3 – 3x2 + 8x + 5a

Let us equate x + 2 = 0

x = -2

Now let us substitute x = -2 in the equation 4x4 + 2x3 – 3x2 + 8x + 5a

4(-2)4 + 2(-2)3 – 3(-2)2 + 8(-2) + 5a = 0

64 – 16 – 12 – 16 + 5a = 0

20 + 5a = 0

5a = -20

a = -20/5

= -4

25. What must be added to x4 + 2x3 – 2x2 + x – 1 so that the resulting polynomial is exactly divisible by x2 + 2x -3.

Solution:

Firstly, let us perform long division method
