If x^2+x-6 is a factor of 2 x^3+x^2+a x+b , then 6 a+13 b=
Options
- A305
- B133
- C0
- D-1
Correct answer
C. 0
Step-by-step solution
Since, x^2+x-6=0 (x+3)(x-2)=0 x=-3,2 So, 2(-3)^3+(-3)^2+a(-3)+b=0 -3 a + b =45 ... (i) and 2(2)^3+(2)^2+2 a+b=0 2 a + b =-20 ... (ii) After solving (i) & (ii) we get a=-13, b=6 Now, 6 a+13 b=-65+65=0
