Find the Value of k for which the first polynomial is a factor of the second polynomial (x-1); (k^3 - 3kx^2 - 2kx + 6)
This problem is giving me so much trouble! Any help would be wonderful.
-----------------
Using synthetic division::
1)....1....-3k....-2k....6
......1..-3k+1..-5k+1...|-5k+7
------
Solve -5k+7 = 0
k = 7/5
