Answer:
± 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Polynomials written in form of x^2 - Sx + P represent S as sum of their roots and P as product of their roots.
Here, if α and β are roots:
α + β = k
αβ = 15
In question:
⇒ ( α + β )^2 - 2αβ = 34
Substituting value from above:
⇒ ( k )^2 - 2( 15 ) = 34
⇒ k^2 - 30 = 34
⇒ k^2 = 34 + 30
⇒ k^2 = 64
⇒ k = ±√64 = ±8
Hence the required values of k are 8 and - 8
