Answer:

\boxed{\textsf{ The value of p is \textbf{-2} and the value of q is \textbf{ -5}.}}

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial is given to us and we need to find the value of the constants in the given equation . The given polynomial to us is :-

\sf\implies f(x)= x^3+px^2+qx + 6

It's mentioned that (x - 1) is a factor of f(x) . This means on putting x = 1 in the given polynomial the value of the polynomial becomes 0 .

<u>Puttting</u><u> </u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>in</u><u> </u><u>f</u><u>(</u><u>x</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

\sf\implies f(x)= x^3+px^2+qx + 6 \\\\\sf\implies f(1) = 1^3 + p(1)^2+q(1) + 6 = 0 \\\\\sf\implies f(1)= 1+p + q + 6 = 0 \\\\\sf\implies \boxed{ \red{\sf p + q = -7 }}

\rule{200}2

Now secondly it's given that on dividing the given polynomial by (x + 1) , the remainder is 8 . This means that on putting x = -1 the value of the given polynomial becomes 8 .

<u>Putt</u><u>ting</u><u> </u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>-</u><u>1</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

\sf\implies f(x)= x^3+px^2+qx + 6 \\\\\sf\implies f(-1) = (-1)^3 + p(-1)^2+q(-1)+6 = 8 \\\\\sf\implies f(-1)= -1+p -q + 6 = 8 \\\\\sf\implies p - q = 8 -6 +1 \\\\\sf\implies  \boxed{ \red{\sf p - q = 3 }}

\rule{200}2

<u>Adding</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>above</u><u> </u><u>two</u><u> </u><u>equations</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

\sf\implies p + q + p - q = -7 + 3 \\\\\sf\implies 2p = -4 \\\\\sf\implies p =\dfrac{-4}{2}\\\\\sf\implies \boxed{\pink{\frak{ p = (-2) }}}

\rule{200}2

<u>Put</u><u> </u><u>this</u><u> </u><u>value</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>p</u><u> </u><u>in</u><u> </u><u>equation</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>i</u><u>)</u><u> </u><u>.</u>

\sf\implies p + q = -7 \\\\\sf\implies  -2 + q = -7 \\\\\sf\implies q = -7+2 \\\\\sf\implies \boxed{\pink{\frak{ q = (-5) }}}

What's the rule about adding intergers?​
vivado [14]

Answer:

Integers include both positive and negative numbers, and there are several rules for adding integers. Adding two positive integers together will always result in a positive integer. For example, 6 + 4 = 10. To add two negative integers, add the numbers together and place a negative sign in front of the answer.
