Q:

Given that the polynomial  has roots  and ; find the values of the constants  and h. Factorise  completely.

A:

Simplifying … … …(1)

Simplifying … … …(2)
From eqn (1)

To factorize completely we carry out long division.

    Q:

    When the polynomial, , where  is divided by , the remainder is . When, , is divided by  3, the remainder is 21. Find the values of the constants ,  and . Find the remainder when  is divided by

    A:

     

    When  is uivided by , the remainder
    Hence

    Eqn (1)-(2) we have
    From

    From eqn (3)
     
    Eqn (5)
    From eqn

    Hence
    When
     is divided by  the remainder is
    So

      Q:

      The polynomial  where
       leaves a remainder 6 when divided by  and a remainder -70 when divided by . Find the values of the constants a and . Hence factorise  completely.

      A:

      Solve (1) and (2) simultaneously and check: whether you have  and .
      Hence

      Now apply your understanding of solved problem 8 , see whether you obtained
       as a factor. Do long division and see whether your final solution is .

                  Q:

                  Factorize completely the polynomial  where  

                  A:

                  Here no factor is given. In such a case we find the factors of the constant term since the coefficient of the highest term is 1. We use the factors of the constant term to find a factor of  and hence factorise  completely.
                  Factors of
                  We see the  does not change sign hence a positive root to  does not exist. As a result? we use negative values.

                  Hence  is a factor of .
                  Now we cary out long division to determine the other factors.

                    Here we may not be able to do factorization by sight. So we do long division to find the other factor.
                    Since  and  are factors of

                     is a factor of
                    Hence the other factor is
