Find the other polynomial q(x) of each of the following, given that LCM and GCD and one polynomial p(x) respectively.
2(x + 1) (x2 – 4), (x + 1), (x + 1) (x – 2).
Given: –
Polynomials p(x) = (x + 1)(x – 2)
And GCD[Greatest Common Divisor] = (x + 1)
And LCM[Lowest Common Multiple] = 2(x + 1) (x2 – 4)
Formula used: –
The product of 2 polynomial is equal to product of their LCM
and GCD.
Product of 2 polynomial = LCM × GCD
p(x) × q(x) = LCM × GCD
LCM × GCD = 2(x + 1) (x2 – 4) × (x + 1)
= 2(x + 1)2 (x2 – 22)
= 2(x + 1)2 (x – 2)(x + 2)
p(x) × q(x) = LCM × GCD
q(x) = ![]()
q(x) = ![]()
q(x) = ![]()
q(x) = 2(x + 2)(x + 1)
Conclusion: –
The other polynomial term q(x) is 2(x + 2)(x + 1)
