It is given that P(x)=ux^(3)+5x^(2)-7x+v is divisible by x^(2)+x-2. (a) Find the values of u and v. [u=4, v=-2] (b) Solve the equation P(x)=0.

hey use dividend theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dividend = divisor * quotient + remainder

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here remainder is zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(4x^(3)+5x^(2)-7x-2) / (x^(2)+x-2) ??

hey will catch you after dinner if no one answers i will be availible in 20 min approx.. just gimme a reminder

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Meepi ....do you have any idea?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since it is divisble by x^2 + x - 2, roots of that are also roots of P(x)

Do you understand or want me to explain? :)
