10. When is divided by , As is solution of ( )
the remainder is 1. Find the value of k. is factor of ( )
now depressed equation is
Solution:

Let ( ) )( ( )
Since the divisor is ( )( )
Hence complete factorization of ( ) is
( ) ( ) ( )( )( )
Therefore by remainder theorem

divided by , the remainder is 14. Find the
value of k. 1 2 0

Solution: As is solution of (1)

is factor of (1)
Let ( ) Now depressed equation is

Since the divisor is

)( ( )
( )( )
( ) Hence complete factorization of ( ) is
Therefore by remainder theorem ( )( )( )
