Find the value of k if x-1 is the factor of x ^ 2 + x + k​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ne4ueva [31]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

k = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall from the Factor Theorem that if (<em>x</em> - <em>a</em>) is a factor of a polynomial <em>P</em>, then P(<em>a</em>) must equal 0.

Our polynomial is:

\displaystyle P(x) = x^2 + x + k

And we know that (<em>x</em> - 1) is a factor.

Therefore, by the Factor Theorem, P(1) must equal 0. Hence solve for <em>k: </em>

<em />\displaystyle \begin{aligned} P(1) = 0 & = (1)^2 + (1) + k \\ \\ 0 & = 2 + k \\ \\ k & = -2\end{aligned}

In conclusion, the value of <em>k</em> is -2.

The side is (2x+3)?  then the area is: (2x+3)(2x+3) = 4 x^2 + 12 x + 9  if x = 6 then Area = 4(36)+12(6)+9 = 144 + 72 + 9 = 225, too big :(

Quaderant 3, quaderants go from 1 to 4 counterclockwise, and a (negative x, negative y ), will be in the 3rd quaderant if you go counterclockwise. 3. 7×x, the answer is simple 7 and x, with the key words "product of" which signify multiplication so it will be 7 times x.
