Check whether p( here we would first find out the zero of g(x)and then put the value of in p(x) and solve it. If p(a)=Q then p(x) is a multiple of g(x) and p(a) # Q then p(x) is not a multiple of g(x) where ‘a’ is a zero of g(x). (i) g(x)=x – 2 (given) then, zero of g(x) is 2 Now, p(2)=(2)3 – 5(2)2 + 4(2) – 3 = 8 – 20 + 8 – 3 = – 7 ≠ 0 ∴ p(x) is not the multiple of g(x) as the remainder ≠ 0. (ii) p(x)= 2x3 – 11
