pls help me,i'll mark u as the brainliest!​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hello,

k=-3 and h=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

$5\ is\ a \ root \of \ x^2+(k-1)*x-5=0\\\\5^2+(k-1)*5-5=0\\\\5*(k-1)+20=0\\\\k-1=\dfrac{-20}{5} \\\\k=-4+1\\\\\boxed{k=-3}$

h+1 is thus a root of x²+(-3-1)*x-5=0

x²-4x-5=0

x²+x-5x-5=0

x(x+1)-5(x+1)=0

(x+1)(x-5)=0

h+1=-1

h=-2
