3A−B=−118

解答
(a)
解法一
思路
展开
除以 x+3 的余数是 f(−3),所以 f(−3)=55。
答题过程
展开
By the remainder theorem,
f(−3)=2(−3)3−(−3)2+A(−3)+B=−54−9−3A+B=−3A+B=3A−B=555555118−118.
This is the required result.
解法二
思路

直接除以 x+3,把余数与 55 比较,得到与余式定理相同的条件。
答题过程
展开
Dividing f(x) by x+3, the successive steps are
f(x)−(x+3)(2x2)=−7x2+Ax+B.
=−7x2+Ax+B−(x+3)(−7x)(A+21)x+B.
=(A+21)x+B−(x+3)(A+21)B−3A−63.
The remainder is 55, so
B−3A−63=3A−B=55−118.(shown)
(b)
解法一
思路
展开
(2x−5) 是因式,所以 x=25 是根。代入 f(x) 得到第二个方程,再联立。
答题过程
展开
Since (2x−5) is a factor,
f(25)=0.
So
2(25)3−(25)2+A(25)+B=0.
Multiply by 4:
125−25+10A+4B=5A+2B=0−50.
Now solve
3A−B=5A+2B=−118,−50.
From the first equation,
B=3A+118.
Substitute:
5A+2(3A+118)=11A+236=11A=A=−50−50−286−26.
Then
B=3(−26)+118=40.
Therefore,
A=−26,B=40.
解法二
思路
展开
除以已知因式 2x−5,令余数为零,然后与 (a) 的条件联立。
答题过程
展开
Divide f(x) by 2x−5:
f(x)−(2x−5)x2=4x2+Ax+B.
=4x2+Ax+B−(2x−5)(2x)(A+10)x+B.
=(A+10)x+B−(2x−5)(2A+5)B+25A+25.
Since 2x−5 is a factor, the remainder is zero:
5A+2B=−50.
Together with 3A−B=−118 from part (a),
6A−2B=11A=A=B=−236−286−263(−26)+118=40.
(c)
解法一
思路
展开
先写出 f(x)=2x3−x2−26x+40,再除以 (x−7)。题目问 quotient,不是问是否整除。
答题过程
展开
Using A=−26 and B=40,
f(x)=2x3−x2−26x+40.
Divide by x−7. The three subtraction steps are
f(x)−(x−7)(2x2)=13x2−26x+40.
=13x2−26x+40−(x−7)(13x)65x+40.
65x+40−(x−7)(65)=495.
Hence
2x3−x2−26x+40=(x−7)(2x2+13x+65)+495.
Therefore, the quotient is
2x2+13x+65.
也可以设商为 2x2+px+q、余数为常数 R,比较
f(x)=(x−7)(2x2+px+q)+R.
x2 项给出 p−14=−1,所以 p=13;x 项给出 q−7p=−26,所以 q=65。这也得到相同的商,且不把 x−7 错当作因式。
