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) |
