Q. Find the value of c c so that the polynomial p(x) p(x) is divisible by (x3) (x-3) .\newlinep(x)=x3+cx24x+3 p(x)=-x^{3}+c x^{2}-4 x+3 \newlinec= c=
  1. Use Remainder Theorem: To determine the value of cc that makes the polynomial p(x)p(x) divisible by (x3)(x-3), we need to use the Remainder Theorem. According to the Remainder Theorem, if a polynomial p(x)p(x) is divisible by (xa)(x-a), then p(a)=0p(a) = 0. In this case, aa is 33, so we need to find the value of cc such that p(3)=0p(3) = 0.
  2. Substitute x=3x = 3: Let's substitute x=3x = 3 into the polynomial p(x)=x3+cx24x+3p(x) = -x^3 + cx^2 - 4x + 3 and set it equal to zero.\newlinep(3)=(3)3+c(3)24(3)+3=0p(3) = -(3)^3 + c(3)^2 - 4(3) + 3 = 0
  3. Calculate p(3)p(3): Now, we calculate the value of p(3)p(3) with the given values.p(3)=27+9c12+3p(3) = -27 + 9c - 12 + 3
  4. Simplify the expression: Simplify the expression to find the value of cc.27+9c12+3=0-27 + 9c - 12 + 3 = 09c36=09c - 36 = 0
  5. Solve for c: Solve for c by adding 3636 to both sides of the equation.\newline9c=369c = 36
  6. Solve for c: Solve for c by adding 3636 to both sides of the equation.\newline9c=369c = 36 Divide both sides by 99 to isolate cc.\newlinec=369c = \frac{36}{9}\newlinec=4c = 4
