AP EAMCET2009MathematicsQuadratic Equation
If f(x)=2 x^4-13 x^2+a x+b is divisible by x^2-3 x+2 , then (a, b) is equal to
Options
- A(-9,-2)
- B(6, 4)
- C(9, 2)
- D(2, 9)
Correct answer
C. (9, 2)
Step-by-step solution
Given, f(x)=2 x^4-13 x^2+a x+b is divisible by aligned & (x-2)(x-1) . & f(2)=2(2)^4-13(2)^2+a(2)+b=0 aligned On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get a=9, b=2
