SOLUTION: given (h+1) and (k-2) are the roots of the equation x power of 2 +9x +14=0. Find the values og h and k

Question 1107177: given (h+1) and (k-2) are the roots of the equation x power of 2 +9x +14=0. Find the values og h and k
Answer by math_helper(2461) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

which has roots: x= -7 and x= -2
Since it is not specified how h and k are related, there are two solutions.
(1) Assigning
h+1 = -7
k-2 = -2
gives h=-8 and k=0
��

(2) If you assign
h+1 = -2
k-2 = -7
then h=-3 and k=-5
