x + 2 = 0
x = -2
p(x) = 2x³-kx²+5x+9
p (-2) = 2×(-2)³ - k(-2)² + 5(-2) + 9
= 2×(-8) - 4k - 10 + 9
= - 16 - 4k - 10 + 9
= -35 - 4k
35 = -4k
35/ (-4) = k
HENCE , VALUE OF K = -35/4

Given
We have given a cubic polynomial 2x³-kx²+5x+9
And zeroes x+2
To find
we have to find the value of K
Since ,we have given a polynomial 2x³-kx²+5x+9
One zeroes is given x+2
So,value of x will be =>x+2=0 => x = -2
Put value of x into the given equation
=>2x³-kx²+5x+9
Put x = -2 and makes the Equation equals to zero:
=> 2(-2)³-k(-2)²+5(-2)+9=0
=>2(-8)-k(4)-10+9=0
=>-16-4k-1=0
=>-16-1-4k= 0
=>-17-4k=0
=>-4k= 17
=> k = -17/4
Check:
➛2x³-kx²+5x+9=0
➛2(-2)³-(-17/4)(-2)²+5(-2)+9
➛-16+17/4×4-10+9
➛-16+17-1
➛1-1=0
