Description : If the expression ax^2 + bx + c is equal to 4, when x = 0, leaves a remainder 4 when divided by x + 1 and leaves a -Maths 9th
Last Answer : Given exp. f(x) = ax2 + bx + c ∴ When x = 0, a.0 + b.0 + c = 4 ⇒ c = 4. The remainders when f(x) is divided by (x + 1) and (x + 2) respectively are f(–1) and f(–2). ∴ f( ... 2b = 2 ...(ii) Solving (i) and (ii) simultaneously we get, a = 1, b = 1.
