Answer:
ATQ
x - 2 is a factor of p(x)
thus ; x -2 = 0
x = 2
also when p(x) is divided by x-3 it's remainder is 3
thus ; x - 3 = 0
x = 3
now putting the value of a to find the value of b
I hope it's correct
Let p(x)=x^³+ax^²+bx+6
i ) it is given that , (x-2) is a factor of p(x) ,then
p(x)=0
=> 2^³+a(2)^²+b×2+6=0
=> 8+4a+2b+6=0
=> 4a+2b+14=0
Divide each term by 2 , we get
=> 2a+b+7=0 ---(1)
ii)It is given that, if p(x) divided by (x-3) leaves a remainder 3
=> p(3)=3
=> 3^³+a(3)^²+b×3+6=3
=> 27+9a+3b+6-3=0
=> 9a+3b+30=0
Divide each term by 3 , we get
=> 3a+b+10=0 ---(2)
Subtract equation (1) from equation (2) , we get
a + 3 = 0
=> a = -3
Now,
Substitute a=-3 in equation (1) , we get
2(-3)+b+7=0
=> -6+b+7=0
=> b+1=0
=> b = -1
Therefore,
Value of a = -3
value of b =-1
