Options
- A1
- B-1
- C2
- DNone of these
Correct answer
A. 1
Step-by-step solution
We have, x= - ²-2 or x+2= - ² Squaring, x²+4 x+4= ²+ ⁴-2 ³= ²+ ³ -2 ³= ²+ -2 [ ³=1 ]=-1-2=-3 ²+4 x+7=0 Dividing x⁴+3 x³+2 x²-11 x-6 by x²+4 x+7 we get x⁴+3 x³+2 x²-11 x-6= (x²+4 x+7 ) (x²-x-1 )+1=(0) ( x ²- x -1 )+1=0+1=1
