Question

If (x – 2) is a factor of the polynomial p(x) = 3 x^3 – 2kx^2 + x – 3 , find the value of k. with solution please

Answer 1

Answer:

It is given that x-2 is a factor of the given polynomial, which means 2 is a root of the given polynomial.

So,

3(2)^3 - 2k(2)^2 +(2)-3 = 0

24 - 8k - 1 = 0

So,

k = 23/8

Hope this helps you !
