If x-42x2x2xx-42x2x2xx-4 = (A +Bx)(x-A)2, then the ordered pair (A,B) is equal to

  • (4,5)

  • (-4,-5)

  • (-4,3)

  • (-4,5)

Solution

D.

(-4,5)

 = x-42x2x2xx-42x2x2xx-4x = -4 makes all three row identicalhence, (x+4)2 will be factorAlso, C1C2 +C2+C2 = 5x-42x2x5x-4x-42x5x-42xx-4 5x-4 is a factor = λ(5x-4)(x+4)2 B= 5, A = - 4
