You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the value(s) of k that makes the second polynomial a factor of the first. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)
kx^3+20x^2+x-15; x+3
---------------------------
Use synthetic division::
-3)....k....20....1....-15
.......k....20-3k..21-3k..|6-3k
----
Solve:: 6-3k = 0
k = 2
