उत्तर

i.

Let x – 2 = 0,

x = 2

Let f(x) = 2x3 − x2 − px − 2

∵ x – 2 is a factor of f(x).

∴ f(2) = 0

⇒ 2(2)3 − 22 − p(2) − 2 = 0

⇒ 2(8) − 4 − p(2) − 2 = 0

⇒ 16 − 4 − 2p − 2 = 0

⇒ 10 − 2p = 0

⇒ −2p = −10

⇒ p = `(-2)/(-10)`

⇒ p = 5

ii.

Now, the polynomial will be:

f(x) = 2x3 − x2 − 5x − 2

         2x2 + 3x + 1
`x – 2")"overline(2x^3 − x^2 − 5x − 2)`
        2x3 − 4x2
      −      +                       
               3x2 − 5x
               3x2 − 6x
             −       +                
                           x − 2
                           x − 2
                        −    +        
                            x            

2x3 − x2 − 5x − 2 = (x – 2) (2x2 + 3x + 1)

= (x – 2) (2x2 + 2x + x + 1)

= (x – 2) [2x(x + 1) + 1(x + 1)]

= (x – 2) (x + 1) (2x + 1)
