The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find an integral root \( \alpha \) of the polynomial \( P(x) \) given that \( P(2) = 13 \) and \( P(10) = 5 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Remainder Theorem**: Since \( P(x) \) is a polynomial with integer coefficients and has at least one integral root \( \alpha \), we can use the property that for any integers \( a \) and \( b \): \[ P(a) - P(b) = P(a - b) \text{ is divisible by } a - b. \] 2. **Applying the Remainder Theorem**: Let's apply this theorem to our specific values: - Let \( a = 2 \) and \( b = \alpha \): \[ P(2) - P(\alpha) = 13 - 0 = 13 \text{ is divisible by } 2 - \alpha. \] Thus, \( 2 - \alpha \) divides \( 13 \). 3. **Finding Divisors of 13**: The divisors of 13 are \( \pm 1, \pm 13 \). Hence, we have: - \( 2 - \alpha = 1 \) implies \( \alpha = 1 \) - \( 2 - \alpha = -1 \) implies \( \alpha = 3 \) - \( 2 - \alpha = 13 \) implies \( \alpha = -11 \) - \( 2 - \alpha = -13 \) implies \( \alpha = 15 \) So, the possible values for \( \alpha \) from this equation are \( 1, 3, -11, 15 \). 4. **Using the Second Condition**: Now, let’s apply the same reasoning to \( P(10) \): - Let \( b = \alpha \): \[ P(10) - P(\alpha) = 5 - 0 = 5 \text{ is divisible by } 10 - \alpha. \] Thus, \( 10 - \alpha \) divides \( 5 \). 5. **Finding Divisors of 5**: The divisors of 5 are \( \pm 1, \pm 5 \). Hence, we have: - \( 10 - \alpha = 1 \) implies \( \alpha = 9 \) - \( 10 - \alpha = -1 \) implies \( \alpha = 11 \) - \( 10 - \alpha = 5 \) implies \( \alpha = 5 \) - \( 10 - \alpha = -5 \) implies \( \alpha = 15 \) So, the possible values for \( \alpha \) from this equation are \( 9, 11, 5, 15 \). 6. **Finding Common Values**: Now we need to find the common integral values of \( \alpha \) from both sets: - From the first condition: \( 1, 3, -11, 15 \) - From the second condition: \( 9, 11, 5, 15 \) The common value is \( \alpha = 15 \). ### Conclusion: Thus, the integral value of \( \alpha \) that must satisfy \( P(x) = 0 \) is: \[ \boxed{15} \]
