Question
If one of the roots of quadratic equation x2 – kx – 15 = 0 is – 3, then find the value of ‘k’
Solution
– 3 is one of the roots of the equation x2 – kx – 15 = 0.
Putting x = – 3 in the given equation, we get
(– 3)2 – k(– 3) – 15 = 0
∴ 9 + 3k – 15 = 0
∴ 3k – 6 = 0
∴ 3k = 6
∴ k = `6/3`
∴ k = 2

Determine whether (x – 3) is a factor of polynomial x3 – 19x + 30.
Let P(x) = x3 – 19x + 30
By remainder theorem, `square` will be a factor of P(x), if P(3) = 0
Now, P(3) = `square` – 19 `square` + 30
= `square – square` + 30
= `square – square`
= 0
∵ P(3) = 0
Hence, `square` is a factor of polynomial x3 – 19x + 30.
