Find the value of k so that the remainder is 3(x^2-x+k) divided by (x-1)

Find The Value Of K So That The Remainder Is 3x2xk Divided By X1 class=

Sagot :

Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided polynomials, we are going to calculate the requested value, so we obtain the following:

So first we will perform the division assuming that k=0 to see what is the remainder that is obtained:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{x^2-x}{x-1} \\ =\frac{x(x-1)}{x-1} \\ =x \end{gathered}[/tex]

We obtain that the remainder when taking k=0, is zero, then it will mean that the k must be equal to the residue that we want:

In other words, if we want the remainder to be 3, k must be equal to 3, replacing:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{x^2-x+k}{x-1} \\ \frac{x^2-x+3}{x-1} \\ =x+\frac{3}{x-1} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Finally we confirm that for the remainder to be 3, the value of k must be equal to 3.
