if (x + q) is a factor of two polynomials x2 + px + q and x2 + mx + n, then prove that a = n-q m-p​


Sagot :

If (x + q) is factor of two polynomial [tex]x^2+px+q[/tex] and [tex]x^2+mx+n[/tex] than [tex]a = \frac{n - q}{m- p}[/tex].

x + a is factor of equations  [tex]x^2+px+q[/tex] and [tex]x^2+mx+n[/tex]

What is a polynomial equation?

Polynomial equation is equation of independent variables.


Putting it in both the equations

[tex]x^2+px+q=0[/tex]                          
[tex](-a)^2+p(-a)+q=0\\a^2-ap+q=0 ........(1)[/tex]  

[tex]x^2+mx=n = 0\\(-a)^2+m(-a)+n=0\\a^2-am+n=0 .....(2)[/tex]

subtracting (2) from (1)

[tex]-am+ap+n-q=0[/tex]
[tex]a=\frac{n-q}{m-p}[/tex]

Thus, the required expression is [tex]a=\frac{n-q}{m-p}[/tex].
