1) Show that the polynomial x2+4x+5 has no zero .

2) For what value of m is x3- 2mx2 + 16 divisible by x+2 ?

1)

Given, polynomial = x2 + 4x+ 5

In order to prove that it has no zeros, we have to show that its discriminant (D) < 0.

So, D = b2-4ac = (4)2 - 4 × 1 × 5 = 16 - 20 = -4 < 0

Hence, the given polynomial doesn't have rational zeros.

 

2) 

Let the given polynomial be f(x) =  x3- 2mx2 + 16.

It is given that f(x) is divisible by x+2, i.e., x = -2 is a factor of f(x).

So, f(-2) = 0

 (-2)3- 2m(-2)2 + 16 = 0

 -8- 8m + 16 = 0

 - 8m + 8 = 0

 - 8m = - 8

 m = 1

Hence, for m = 1, f(x) is divisible by (x+2).

p(x) = x2 + 4x + 5

p(0) = (0)2 + 4(0) + 5

p(0) = 0 + 0 + 5

p(0) is not equal to  5

Hence, it is shown
