The given equation is equivalent to quadratic equation
= 0 (1)
with the leading coefficient 1. (Notice that equation (1) is obtained from the given equation by division all the terms by 5.)
Therefore, equation (1) has the root z= 3.
According to Vieta's theorem, the product of the roots of the equation (1) is equal to its constant term, which is -6.
Therefore, the second root of the equation (1) is = -2.
Thus the two roots of the equation (1) are 3 and -2.
Then, according to the Vieta's theorem, the sum of its roots (which is 3+(-2) = 1) is equal to the coefficient at x with the opposite sign.
In other words, = 3+(-2) = 1, which implies k = -5.
ANSWER. The second root of the given equation is -2 and k= -5.
Solved.
