24. Find the value of a, if x + 2 is a factor of 4x4 + 2x3 – 3x2 + 8x + 5a
Solution:
We know that x + 2 is a factor of 4x4 + 2x3 – 3x2 + 8x + 5a
Let us equate x + 2 = 0
x = -2
Now let us substitute x = -2 in the equation 4x4 + 2x3 – 3x2 + 8x + 5a
4(-2)4 + 2(-2)3 – 3(-2)2 + 8(-2) + 5a = 0
64 – 16 – 12 – 16 + 5a = 0
20 + 5a = 0
5a = -20
a = -20/5
= -4

Solution:
We have,
(x2 – 5x + 6) / (x – 3)
Let us perform long division method,
∴ the Quotient is x – 2
2. ax2 – ay2 by ax+ay
Solution:
We have,
(ax2 – ay2)/ (ax+ay)
(ax2 – ay2)/ (ax+ay) = (x – y) + 0/(ax+ay)
= (x – y)
∴ the answer is (x – y)

We have,
(x4 – y4)/ (x2 – y2)
(x4 – y4)/ (x2 – y2) = x2 + y2 + 0/(x2 – y2)
