If \(x^2+x-6\) is a factor of \(2 x^3+x^2+a x+b\), then \(6 a+13 b=\)

  1. A \(305\)
  2. B \(133\)
  3. C \(0\)
  4. D \(-1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, \(x^2+x-6=0\) \(\Rightarrow(x+3)(x-2)=0 \Rightarrow x=-3,2\) So, \(2(-3)^3+(-3)^2+a(-3)+b=0\) \(\Rightarrow-3 \mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}=45\) ... (i) and \(2(2)^3+(2)^2+2 a+b=0\) \(\Rightarrow 2 \mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}=-20\) ... (ii) After solving (i) \& (ii) we get…
