Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

x³ + cx + 4 divided by x + 2 has a remainder of 4, so:

(x³ + cx + 4) / (x + 2) = ax² + bx + d + 4 / (x + 2)

Multiply both sides by x + 2:

x³ + cx + 4 = (ax² + bx + d) (x + 2) + 4

Distribute:

x³ + cx + 4 = ax²(x + 2) + bx(x + 2) + d(x + 2) + 4

x³ + cx + 4 = ax³ + 2ax² + bx² + 2bx + dx + 2d + 4

x³ + cx + 4 = ax³ + (2a + b)x² + (2b + d)x + 2d + 4

Match the coefficients.

a = 1

2a + b = 0

2b + d = c

2d + 4 = 4

Solving, a = 1, b = -2, and d = 0. So c = -4.

We can also solve this using long division (see picture).

Find the 2th term of the expansion of (a-b)^4.

vladimir1956 [14]

The second term of the expansion is $-4a^3b$ .

Solution:

Given expression:

$(a-b)^4$

To find the second term of the expansion.

$(a-b)^4$

Using Binomial theorem,

$(a+b)^{n}=\sum_{i=0}^{n}\left(\begin{array}{l}n \\i\end{array}\right) a^{(n-i)} b^{i}$

Here, a = a and b = –b

$$(a-b)^4=\sum_{i=0}^{4}\left(\begin{array}{l}4 \\i\end{array}\right) a^{(4-i)}(-b)^{i}$

Substitute i = 0, we get

$$\frac{4 !}{0 !(4-0) !} a^{4}(-b)^{0}=1 \cdot \frac{4 !}{0 !(4-0) !} a^{4}=a^4$

Substitute i = 1, we get

$$\frac{4 !}{1 !(4-1) !} a^{3}(-b)^{1}=\frac{4 !}{3!} a^{3}(-b)=-4 a^{3} b$

Substitute i = 2, we get

$$\frac{4 !}{2 !(4-2) !} a^{2}(-b)^{2}=\frac{12}{2 !} a^{2}(-b)^{2}=6 a^{2} b^{2}$

Substitute i = 3, we get

$$\frac{4 !}{3 !(4-3) !} a^{1}(-b)^{3}=\frac{4}{1 !} a(-b)^{3}=-4 a b^{3}$

Substitute i = 4, we get

$$\frac{4 !}{4 !(4-4) !} a^{0}(-b)^{4}=1 \cdot \frac{(-b)^{4}}{(4-4) !}=b^{4}$

Therefore,

$$(a-b)^4=\sum_{i=0}^{4}\left(\begin{array}{l}4 \\i\end{array}\right) a^{(4-i)}(-b)^{i}$

$=\frac{4 !}{0 !(4-0) !} a^{4}(-b)^{0}+\frac{4 !}{1 !(4-1) !} a^{3}(-b)^{1}+\frac{4 !}{2 !(4-2) !} a^{2}(-b)^{2}+\frac{4 !}{3 !(4-3) !} a^{1}(-b)^{3}+\frac{4 !}{4 !(4-4) !} a^{0}(-b)^{4}$ $=a^{4}-4 a^{3} b+6 a^{2} b^{2}-4 a b^{3}+b^{4}$

Hence the second term of the expansion is $-4a^3b$ .
