1. When a polynomial P(x) is divided by x-k, the quotient is x+4 and the remainder is 3. which implies P(x) = (x - k)(x + 4) + 3 After calculation, P(x) = x^2 + (4 - k)x - 4k + 3 2. When P(x) is divided by x-2k , the remainder is 9. which implies P(2k) = (2k)^2 + (4 - k)(2k) - 4k + 3 = 9 For the rest, it is only a quadratic equation. Ans : k = 1 or -3 |
