Question

Assertion: If (x - 1) is a factor of p(x) =
2+ kx + 1, then k= -2. Reason: If (x - a)
is a factor of p(x), then p(a) = 0.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Reason is correct but Assertion is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-1) is a factor of p(x)= 2+kx+1

p(1)= 0

2+1(k)+1= 0

2+k+1= 0

3+k=0

k= -3
