Answer:

k=1\text{ or } k=4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Polynomial Remainder Theorem. It states that if we divide a polynomial P(x) by a <em>binomial</em> in the form (x - a), then our remainder will be P(a).

We are dividing:

(x^2+5x+7)\div(x+k)

So, a polynomial by a binomial factor.

Our factor is (x + k) or (x - (-k)). Using the form (x - a), our a = -k.

We want our remainder to be 3. So, P(a)=P(-k)=3.

Therefore:

(-k)^2+5(-k)+7=3

Simplify:

k^2-5k+7=3

Solve for <em>k</em>. Subtract 3 from both sides:

k^2-5k+4=0

Factor:

(k-1)(k-4)=0

Zero Product Property:

k-1=0\text{ or } k-4=0

Solve:

k=1\text{ or } k=4

So, either of the two expressions:

(x^2+5x+7)\div(x+1)\text{ or } (x^2+5x+7)\div(x+4)

Will yield 3 as the remainder.
