The correct Answer is:
To find the values of \( p \) and \( q \) such that the polynomial \( 8x^4 + 14x^3 - 2x^2 + px + q \) is exactly divisible by \( 4x^2 + 3x - 2 \), we will perform polynomial long division and set the remainder equal to zero. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Set Up the Division**: We need to divide \( 8x^4 + 14x^3 - 2x^2 + px + q \) by \( 4x^2 + 3x - 2 \). 2. **Divide the Leading Terms**: Divide the leading term of the dividend \( 8x^4 \) by the leading term of the divisor \( 4x^2 \): \[ \frac{8x^4}{4x^2} = 2x^2 \] 3. **Multiply and Subtract**: Multiply \( 2x^2 \) by the entire divisor \( 4x^2 + 3x - 2 \): \[ 2x^2 \cdot (4x^2 + 3x - 2) = 8x^4 + 6x^3 - 4x^2 \] Now subtract this from the original polynomial: \[ (8x^4 + 14x^3 - 2x^2 + px + q) - (8x^4 + 6x^3 - 4x^2) = (14x^3 - 6x^3) + (-2x^2 + 4x^2) + px + q \] This simplifies to: \[ 8x^3 + 2x^2 + px + q \] 4. **Repeat the Process**: Now, divide the leading term \( 8x^3 \) by \( 4x^2 \): \[ \frac{8x^3}{4x^2} = 2x \] Multiply \( 2x \) by the divisor: \[ 2x \cdot (4x^2 + 3x - 2) = 8x^3 + 6x^2 - 4x \] Subtract this from the current polynomial: \[ (8x^3 + 2x^2 + px + q) - (8x^3 + 6x^2 - 4x) = (2x^2 - 6x^2) + (px + 4x) + q \] This simplifies to: \[ -4x^2 + (p + 4)x + q \] 5. **Final Division**: Divide the leading term \( -4x^2 \) by \( 4x^2 \): \[ \frac{-4x^2}{4x^2} = -1 \] Multiply \( -1 \) by the divisor: \[ -1 \cdot (4x^2 + 3x - 2) = -4x^2 - 3x + 2 \] Subtract this from the current polynomial: \[ (-4x^2 + (p + 4)x + q) - (-4x^2 - 3x + 2) = ((p + 4) + 3)x + (q - 2) \] This simplifies to: \[ (p + 7)x + (q - 2) \] 6. **Set the Remainder to Zero**: Since the polynomial is exactly divisible, the remainder must be zero: \[ p + 7 = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad q - 2 = 0 \] Solving these equations gives: \[ p = -7 \quad \text{and} \quad q = 2 \] ### Final Answer: The values of \( p \) and \( q \) are: \[ p = -7, \quad q = 2 \]
