Solution 1

Given that both polynomials have x+2 as a factor, we can use the Factor Theorem which states that a polynomial f(x) has a factor (x-c) if and only if f(c) = 0.

For the first polynomial, x^3 + ax^2 - x + b, we substitute x = -2:

(-2)^3 + a(-2)^2 - (-2) + b = 0 -8 + 4a + 2 + b = 0 4a + b = 6 ----(1 Knowee AI is a powerful AI-powered study tool designed to help you to solve study problem.
