उत्तर

Given, P(x) = 3x3 + 8x2 – 15x + k

Put x – 1 = 0

x = 1

Now, P(1) = 3(1)3 + 8(1)2 – 15(1) + k = 0

⇒ 3 + 8 – 15 + k = 0

⇒ – 4 + k = 0

⇒ k = 4

Hence, k = 4

P(x) = 3x3 + 8x2 – 15x + 4

`x - 1")"overline(3x^3 + 8x^2 - 15x + 4)(3x^2 + 11x - 4`
           3x3 – 3x2
          –      +                          
                 11x2 – 15x
                 11x2 – 11x
                –        +                  
                          – 4x + 4
                          – 4x + 4
                          +      –        
                                x         

∴ 3x3 + 8x2 – 15x + 4 = (x – 1) (3x2 + 11x – 4)

= (x – 1) (3x2 + 12x – x – 4)

= (x – 1) [3x(x + 4) – 1(x + 4)]

= (x – 1) (3x – 1) (x + 4)
