Show/Hide Solution
| Let the number to be added be $ \displaystyle k$ and the resulting polynomial be $ \displaystyle f(x)$. $ \displaystyle \therefore \ f(x)=2{{x}^{3}}-3{{x}^{2}}-8x+k$ When $ \displaystyle f(x)$ is divided by $ \displaystyle 2x+1$, the remainder is 10. $ \displaystyle \begin{array}{l}\therefore \ f\left( {-\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}} \right)=10\\\\\ \ 2{{\left( {-\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}} \right)}^{3}}-3{{\left( {-\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}} \right)}^{2}}-8\left( {-\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}} \right)+k=10\\\\\therefore \ -\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}-\displaystyle \frac{3}{4}+4+k=10\\\\\therefore \ k=7\end{array}$ Hence, the number to be added is 10. |
2. What number should be subtracted from $ \displaystyle 6x^3 + 7x^2 - 9x+12$ so that $ \displaystyle 3x - 1$ is the factor of the resulting polynomial?
Show/Hide Solution
| Let the number to be subtracted be $ \displaystyle k$ and the resulting polynomial be $ \displaystyle f(x)$. $ \displaystyle \therefore \ f(x)=6x^3 + 7x^2 - 9x+12-k$ Since $ \displaystyle 3x - 1$ is the factor of $ \displaystyle f(x)$, $ \displaystyle \begin{array}{l}\ \ f\left( {\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}} \right)=0\\\\\ \ 6{{\left( {\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}} \right)}^{3}}+7{{\left( {\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}} \right)}^{2}}-9\left( {\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}} \right)+12-k=0\\\\\therefore \ \displaystyle \frac{2}{9}+\displaystyle \frac{7}{9}-3+12-k=0\\\\\therefore \ k=10\end{array}$ Hence, the number to be subtracted is 10. |
