Question

if (x-1) is a factor of p(x) = x^2+kx+6 .find the value of k​

Answer 1

Answer:

the value of k is -7.

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-1) is a factor So 1 is the zero of this p(x)

p(1)= 0

so,

(1)²+k(1)+6= 0

7+k= 0

k = -7

Answer 2

Answer:

putt x = 1

p(1) = 1^2 + k +6

p(1)= k+7

since p(1)= 0

k+7 = 0

k= -7

hope this helps!!
