If 9x^2 + 3px + 6q when divided by (3x + 1) leaves a remainder \(\big(-\frac{3}{4}\big)\) and qx2 + 4px + 7 is exactly divisible by (x + 1), then the values of p and q respectively will be : (a) 0, \(\frac{7}{4}\)(b) \(-\frac{7}{4}, 0\)(c) Same (d) \(\frac{7}{4}, 0\) |
Answer» (d) \(\frac{7}{4}, 0\) Given, (9x2 + 3px + 6q), when divided by (3x + 1) leaves a remainder \(-\frac{3}{4}\) ∴ f(x) = 9x2 + 3px + 6q – \(\big(-\frac{3}{4}\big)\) = \(\big(9x^2+3px+6q+\frac{3}{4}\big)\) is exactly divisible by (3x + 1) ∴ f\(\big(-\frac{3}{4}\big)\) = 0 ⇒ 9\(\big(-\frac{3}{4}\big)\)2 + 3 p . \(\big(-\frac{3}{4}\big)\) + 6q + \(\frac{3}{4}\) = 0 ⇒ 6q - p + \(\frac{7}{4}\) 0 ⇒ 24q - 4p + 7 = 0 ......(i) Now, the expression g(x) = qx2 + 4px + 7 is exactly divisible by x + 1 ⇒ g(–1) = 0 ⇒ q – 4p + 7 = 0 ...(ii) Solving equations (i) and (ii), we get q = 0, p = \(\frac{7}{4}\). |
