If f(x) and g(x) are two polynomials such that the polynomial P(x) = f(x3) + x g(x3) is divisible by x2 + x + 1, then P(1) is equal to ___________.
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Given, p(x) = f(x3) + xg(x3)
We know, x2 + x + 1 = (x ) (x 2)
Given, p(x) is divisible by x2 + x + 1. So, roots of p(x) is and 2.
As root satisfy the equation,
So, put x =
p( ) = f( 3) + g( 3) = 0
= f(1) + g(1) = 0 [ 3 = 1]
= f(1) + g(1) = 0
f(1) = 0 + i0
Comparing both sides, we get
f(1) = 0
and g(1) = 0
So, f(1) = 0
Now, p(1) = f(1) + 1 . g(1) = 0 + 0 = 0
We know, x2 + x + 1 = (x ) (x 2)
Given, p(x) is divisible by x2 + x + 1. So, roots of p(x) is and 2.
As root satisfy the equation,
So, put x =
p( ) = f( 3) + g( 3) = 0
= f(1) + g(1) = 0 [ 3 = 1]
= f(1) + g(1) = 0
f(1) = 0 + i0
Comparing both sides, we get
f(1) = 0
and g(1) = 0
So, f(1) = 0
Now, p(1) = f(1) + 1 . g(1) = 0 + 0 = 0
