Answer:

k=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

f(x)=2x^3+18x^2-18x-162

We factor 2 to obtain;

f(x)=2(x^3+9x^2-9x-81)

We factor the polynomial within the parenthesis by grouping.

f(x)=2(x^2(x+9)-9(x+9)

f(x)=2(x^2-9)(x+9)

f(x)=2(x^2-3^2)(x+9)

We apply difference of two squares on the second factor: x^2-3^2=(x-3)(x+3)

f(x)=2(x+3)(x-3)(x+9)

We now compare to;

f(x)=2(x+k)(x-k)(x+9)

It is now obvious that k=3
