Question

c) Find the balue of k so that (x-1) is a factor of
the polynomial
5x² + 4.8² - 6x + 2k​

Answer 1

Answer:

-11.02

Step-by-step explanation:

We will apply factor theorem here

x-1 = 0 , so x = 1

Now , let us replace x by 1 in the polynomial

5(1) + 23.04 -6(1) +2k = 0 (then only the number would be a factor)

22.04 + 2k = 0

2k = -22.04

k = -11.02

∴ Value of k = -11.02
