Ans : [SQP 2017]
As 3 2 and - 3 2 are the zeroes of 5 and - 5 are two zeroes of the given
4x 4 + x3 − 72x2 − 18x , So ^x - 3 2 h and ^x + 3 2 h
Since

polynomial, bx -
3l b 3l
are its two factors. 5 , x + 5 will be its two
Now, ^x − 3 2 h^x + 3 2 h = 0 factors

3^ h
Now bx −
3 lb 3l b 3l
or, x2 - 18 = 0 5 x + 5 = x2 − 5 = 1 3x2 − 5

Thus x - 18 divides the polynomial
4x 4 + x3 − 72x2 − 18x completely. Since 3 ^3x - 5h is a factor of given polynomial,

We have f ^x h = x 4 + 10x3 + 25x2 + 15x + k


Ans : [Board Term-1, 2015, Set -DDE -M] If x + 7 is a factor then - 7 is a zero of f ^x h and
As 2 and - 2 are the zeroes of 9x 4 − 6x3 − 35x2 + 24x − 4 x =− 7 satisfy f ^x h = 0 .
So ^x - 2h and ^x + 2h are its two factors Thus substituting x =− 7 in f (x) and equating to zero
