Solution

Find the value of a

If x-m is the quotient and a1xn+a2xn-1+a3xn-2....+an+1x0 is the dividend, then upon substituting the value of m on the dividend in place of x we get the remainder.

Let the remainder be R1 and R2 as given :

R1=ax3+3x2-3=a43+342-3=64a+45

R2=2x3-5x+a=243-54+a=128-20+a=108+a

Given: 2R1-R2=0

Now put the value of R1and R2 in the given equation

∴2(64a+45)−(108+a)=0

⇒128a+90−108−a=0⇒127a=18⇒a=18127

Hence the value of a is 18127
