उत्तर
Let = f(x) = 2x3 − 9x2 + kx + 6
Let 2x + 1 = 0
x = `-1/2`
∵ 2x + 1 is a factor of f(x).
∴ `f(-1/2)` = 0
⇒ `2(-1/2)^3 - 9(-1/2)^2 + k(-1/2) + 6` = 0
⇒ `2(-1/8)^3 - 9(-1/4)^2 + k(-1/2) + 6` = 0
⇒ `-1/4 - 9/4 - k/2 + 6` = 0
⇒ `-10/4 - k/2 + 6` = 0
⇒ `-5/2 - k/2 + 12/2` = 0
⇒ 7 − k = 0
⇒ k = 7
∴ 2x3 − 9x2 + 7x + 6
x2 − 5x + 6
`2x + 1")"overline(2x^3 - 9x^2 + 7x + 6)`

2x3 − 9x2 + 7x + 6 = (2x + 1) ( x2 − 5x + 6)
= (2x + 1) (x2 − 3x − 2x + 6)
= (2x + 1) [x(x − 3) − 2(x − 3)]
= (2x + 1) (x − 3) (x − 2)
