Q: If f(x) and g(x) are two polynomials such that the polynomial $h(x) = x f(x^3) + x^2 g(x^6)$ is divisible by x2 +x +1 , then
(A) f(1) = g(1)
(B) f(1) = – g( 1)
(C) f(1) = g(1) ≠ 0
(D) f(1) = -g(1) ≠ 0
Click to See Answer :
Ans: (A) & (B)
Sol: Roots of x2 + x +1 = 0 are complex cube roots of unity,
so h(w) = h(w2) =0
⇒ w f(1) + w2 g(1) = 0 and w2 f(1) + wg(1) = 0
⇒ f(1) = g(1) = 0.
Hence (A) and (B) are the correct answers.
