If `5x^(3) +Mx+ N, M,N in R` is divisible by `x^(2) + x+1`, then the value of `M +N ` isA. 5B. 4C. `-4`D. `-5`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Let `f(x)=5x^(2)+Mx+N`.
Also, `x^(2)+x+1=(x-omega)(x-omega^(2))`
It is given that `f(x)` is divisible by `x^(2)+x+1`.
`therefore f(omega)=5+Momega+N=0`
and `f(omega^(2))=5+Momega^(2)+N=0`
So, `M =0 and N=-5`
`therefore M+N =-5`
