Q3 of 96 Page 7

If x = 2 is a root of the polynomial f (x)= 2x2-3x+7a, find the value of a.

We have,

f (x) = 2x2 – 3x + 7a


Put x = 2


f (2) = 2 (2)2 – 3 (2) + 7a


= 2 * 4 – 6 + 7a


= 8 – 6 + 7a


= 2 + 7a


Given, x = 2 is a root of f (x) = 2x2 – 3x + 7a


f (2) = 0


Therefore, 2 + 7a = 0


7a = -2


a =
