If a polynomial 2x( raised to power 3) -9x +15x +p, when divided by (x-2), leaves -p as remainder, then p is equal

p is -5

Step-by-step explanation:

If a polynomial 2x³-9x² +15x +p is divided by (x-2), then the remainder is gotten by equating the divisor x - 2 to zero

If x - 2 = 0

Add 2 to both sides

x - 2 + 2 = 0 + 2

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into the expression to get the remainder:

If p(x) = 2x³-9x² +15x +p

p(2)= 2(2)³-9(2)² +15(2) +p

p(2) = 2(8) - 9(4) + 30 + p

p(2) = 16-36+30+p

p(2) = -20 + 30 + p

p(2) = 10+p

Since the remainder given in question is - p, to get p, we will equate p(2) to -p as shown

p(2) = -p

10+p = -p

10 = -p-p

10 = -2p

p = 10/-2

p = -5

Hence the value of p is -5
