Given polynomial,
p(x) = 5x² + 13x + k
★The general form of quadratic equation is " ax² + bx + c = 0 "
⟹ Products of the roots = c/a
➡ Products of the roots = k/5
Given that the roots are reciprocals of each other. So if one root is y, the other would be 1/y. So, their product will always be 1.
➡ 1 = k/5
➡ k = 5.
Therefore, the value of k is 5.
