If x2 -- 3x + 2 divides x3 -- 6x2 + ax + b exactly, then the roots of x2 -- 3x + 2 will also be the roots of x3 -- 6x2 + ax + b. The roots of x2 -- 3x + 2 are 1 and 2. Therefore, substitute 1 and 2 in x3 -- 6x2 + ax + b=0. Step i: (1)3 - 6(1)2 + a (1) +b=0 1 - 6 +a+b=0 a+b=5 Step...

Let P(x)=x3-6x2+ax+b be given polynomial Since x2-3x+2=(x-2)(x-1) divides P(x) exactly -1,-2 are zeroes of P(x) So, p(-1)=0, P(-2)=0 We get -5+a+b=0 and -16+2a+b=0 By solving we get a=11,b=-6

The sides of a triangular plot are in the ratio of 6 : 7 : 8 and its perimeter is 420 m. Find its area.
Let,the sides are 6x, 7x, 8x. perimeter =420m 6x+7x+8x=420 21x=420 x=20. So the sides are 120,140,160 respectively. now area =root (s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)) =root(210*90*70*50) =8133m^2
