REMAINDER AND FACTOR THEOREM
Q.1 Find the value of q if the polynomial f(x) = x3 + 2x2 – 13x + q is divisible byg(x) = x – 2.
Hence find all the factors ?

Q.2 Find the value of p and q, if (x + 3) and (x – 4) are the factors of x3 – px2 – qx + 24 ?

Q.3 For what value of‘a’ , the polynomialg(x) = x – a is a factor off(x) = x3 – ax2 +x + 2

Q.4 Find the remainder whenf(x) = x3 – 6x2 + 9x + 7 is divided by g(x) = x – 1 ?

Q.5 how that (x– 1) is a factor of x3 – 7x2 + 14x – 8. Hence, factorize the above polynomial
completely

Q.6 If (x-2) is a factor of the expression 2x^3+ax^2+bx-14 and when the expression is divided
by (x-3) , it leaves a remainder 52 . Find the value of a \ and \ b

Q.7 When divided by (x-3) the polynomials x^3-px^2+x+6 and 2x^3-x^2-(p+3)x-6 leave the
same remainder. Find the value of p

Q.8 Find the value of k if (x-2) is a factor of x^3+2x^2-kx+10 . Hence determine whether (x+5)
is also a factor.

Q.9 Use the remainder theorem to factorize the following expression: 2x^3+x^2-13x+6

Q.10 Find the values of constants a and b when x – 2 and x + 3 both are the factors of
expression x3 + ax2 + bx – 12.

Q.11Find the value of a, if x – 2 is a factor of 2x5 – 6x4 – 2ax3 + 6ax2 + 4ax + 8.

Q.12 Find the values of m and n so that x – 1 and x + 2 both are factors of x3 + (3m + 1) x2 + nx
– 18.
