\"If k is a constant such that x-2 and x+2 are factors of the polynomial 100x2(squared) + k, what is the value of k?\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "I'm going to say k = -400
\n" ); document.write( "we have
\n" ); document.write( "100x^2 - 400
\n" ); document.write( "Factor out 100
\n" ); document.write( "100(x^2 - 4)
\n" ); document.write( "Which factors to
\n" ); document.write( "100(x-2)(x+2) \n" ); document.write( "
