If the remainder when 2x3 + 3x2 – 5kx + 15 is divided by x – k is 2k3, then find the value of k.1. ±√(15/2)2. ±√(5/2)3. ±√154. ±√2

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : ±√(15/2)

Given:

P(x) = Dividend = 2x3 + 3x2 – 5kx + 15

Divisor = x – k

Remainder = 2k3

Calculation:

As the remainder is 2k3 when divided by x – k

For x – k = 0 , x = k

P(k) = 2k3

2k3 + 3k2 – 5k2 + 15 = 2k3

⇒ –2k2 + 15 = 0

⇒ 2k2 = 15

⇒ k2 = 15/2

⇒ k = ±√(15/2)

Value of k is ±√(15/2)
