उत्तर
(i) Let x – 2 = 0,
then x = 2
Now f(x) = 2x3 – x2 + px – 2
∴ f(2) = 2(2)3 – (2)2 + p x 2 – 2
= 2 x 8 – 4 + 2p – 2
= 16 – 4 + 2p – 2
= 10 + 2p
(ii) ∴ f(2) = 0,
then 10 + 2p = 0
⇒ 2p = –10
⇒ p = –5
Now, the polynomial will be
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)
