Question 941407: The equation, kx^2 - 3x - k = 0 has a root of x = 2. Determine the value of k and write the expression, kx^2 - 3x - k, as a product of factors.
Very confused on how I go about solving this question. Answer by srinivas.g(540) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! given equation
put x=2 in the above equation
move -6 to the right
divide with 3 on both sides
now put k = 2 in the expression
now we have to write above expression as product of factors
= 2x(x-2)+1(x-2)
=(x-2)(2x+1)
