Answer:
The value of c is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
p(x) = cx³ - 15x - 68
Since it's divisible by ( x - 4) that means when the value of ( x - 4) is substituted into the polynomial it leaves a remainder of zero that's no remainder.
x - 4 = 0
x = 4
Substitute it into the above expression
That's
c(4)³ - 15(4) - 68 = 0
64c - 60 - 68 = 0
64c = 60 + 68
64c = 128
Divide both sides by 64
c = 2
