Without actual division prove that the polynomial $2x^{3} \ +\ 4x^{2} \ +\ x\ -\ 34\ =\ 0$ is exactly divisible by $(x\ -\ 2)$.
Given: $2x^{3} \ +\ 4x^{2} \ +\ x\ -\ 34\ =\ 0$ and $(x\ -\ 2)$.
To do: Here we have to check without using division method if $2x^{3} \ +\ 4x^{2} \ +\ x\ -\ 34\ =\ 0$ is exactly divisible by $(x\ -\ 2)$.
Solution:
If $x\ -\ 2$ is a factor, then $x\ =\ 2$ is a zero of $2x^{3} \ +\ 4x^{2} \ +\ x\ -\ 34\ =\ 0$.
Now,
$2x^{3} \ +\ 4x^{2} \ +\ x\ -\ 34\ =\ 0$
Putting $x\ =\ 2$ in the polynomial:
$2( 2)^{3} \ +\ 4( 2)^{2} \ +\ 2\ -\ 34\ =\ 0$
$2( 8) \ +\ 4( 4) \ -\ 32\ =\ 0$
$16\ +\ 16\ -\ 32\ =\ 0$
$32\ -\ 32\ =\ 0$
$\mathbf{0\ =\ 0}$
Therefore, the polynomial $2x^{3} \ +\ 4x^{2} \ +\ x\ -\ 34\ =\ 0$ is divisible by $x\ -\ 2$.
