Question 983376
<font size = 3>

Here are all of the ways to multiply to 29 (using 2 whole numbers only)


1*29 = 29
-1*(-29) = 29


The first factorization 1*29 has the factors add to 1+29 = 30.
The second factorization -1*(-29) has the factors add to -1+(-29) = -30. 


So k is either +30 or -30. Because we only want a positive number for k, we have  k = 30.


The form is x^2 – kx + 29. If k = 30, then we have x^2 – 30x + 29 factoring to (x - 29)(x - 1)


So the final answer is k = 30
