Question:</h2>
Find k if (x+1) is a factor of 2x³ + kx² + 1
<h2>
Answer:</h2>
k = 1
<h2>
Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
The factor of a polynomial F(x) is another polynomial that divides evenly into F(x). For example, x + 3 is a factor of the polynomial x² - 9.
<em>This is because;</em>
i. x² - 9 can be written as (x - 3)(x + 3) which shows that both (x - 3) and (x + 3) are factors.
ii. If x = -3 is substituted into the polynomial x² - 9, the result gives zero. i.e
=> (-3)² - 9
=> (9) - 9 = 0
Therefore, if (x + a) is a factor of a polynomial, substituting x = -a into the polynomial should result to zero. This also means that, if x - a is a factor of a polynomial, substituting x = a into the polynomial should give zero.
<em><u>From the question</u></em>
Given polynomial: 2x³ + kx² + 1
Given factor: x + 1.
Since x + 1 is a factor of the polynomial, substituting x = -1 into the polynomial should give zero and from there we can calculate the value of k. i.e
2(-1)³ + k(-1)² + 1 = 0
2(-1) + k(1) + 1 = 0
-2 + k + 1 = 0
k - 1 = 0
k = 1
Therefore the value of k is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:
Given a circle centre J
Let the radius of the circle =r
LK is tangent to circle J at point K
From the diagram attached
Theorem: The angle between a tangent and a radius is 90 degrees.
By the theorem above, Triangle JLK forms a right triangle with LJ as the hypotenuse.
Using Pythagoras Theorem:
The length of the radius, 
Answer: A
Explanation:
First you have to write the model in an equation form.
6x+5=15
Subtract 5 from both sides
6x=10
Divide 6 from both sides
X=10/6
Simplify
X=5/3 or 1.67
Answer:
the initial value is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
"y=mx+b" is the equation
"b" is the initial value, and there is no "b" value
