Answer 23:

Let and be the given polynomial.

When p(x) is divided by q(x), the reminder is a linear polynomial in x.

So, let r(x) = ax + b is added to p(x), so that p(x) + r(x) is divisible by q(x).

Let

Then,

We have,

Clearly, q(x) is divisible by and i.e., and are the factors of q(x).

Therefore, f (x) is divisible by q(x), if and are factors of f(x), i.e.,

and f(2) = 0

Now, f(-3) = 0

f(-3) = (-3)3 -3(-3)2 + (a-12)(-3)+19+b = 0

-27 - 27 - 3a + 36 + 19 + b = 0

-27 - 27 - 3a + 36 + 19 + b = 0

-54 - 3a + b + 55 = 0

-3a + b + 1 = 0    ---- (i)
 

And

Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get,

Putting this value in equation (ii), we get,

Hence, p(x) is divisible by q(x) if added to it.

Adding (i) and (ii), we get,

Putting this value in equation (i), we get,

Hence, will be divisible by if 4 x − 4 is subtracted from it

Question 25:

What must be added to 3x3 + x2 − 22x + 9 so that the result is exactly divisible by 3x2 + 7x − 6?

Answer 25:

By division algorithm, when is divided by the reminder is a linear polynomial. So, let r(x) = ax + b be added to p(x) so that the result is divisible by q(x)

Let

We have,

qx = 3x2 + 7x - 6        = 3x2 + 9x - 2x - 6        = 3xx + 3 - 2x + 3        = 3x - 2 x + 3

Clearly, 3x - 2 and x + 3 are factors of q(x).

Therefore, f(x) will be divisible by q(x) if and are factors of f(x), i.e.,

and f(−3) are equal to zero.

Now,

   f23 = 03233 + 232 + a - 2223 + 9 + b = 03×827 + 49 + 2a3 - 443 + 9 + b = 089 + 49 - 443+ 9 + 2a3 + b = 08 + 4 - 132 + 81 9 + 2a3 + b = 0-399 + 2a3 + b = 02a3 + b = 1332a + 3b = 13          ........i

And

     f-3 = 03-33 + -32 + a - 22-3 + 9 + b = 0-81 + 9 - 3a + 66 + 9 + b = 0-3a + b = -3 b = -3 + 3a           .........ii

Substituting the value of b from (ii) in (i), we get,
     2a + 33a - 3 = 132a + 9a - 9 = 1311a = 13 + 911a = 22a = 2
Now, from (ii), we get
b = - 3 + 32 = -3 + 6 = 3

So, we have a = 2  and  b = 3

Hence, p(x) is divisible by q(x), if is added to it.
