<PRE><B>Question 995825</B>
Determine the value of k so that 3x-2 is a factor of 6x^3 + 5x^2 + kx + 10. 
------
3x-2 is a factor if x = 2/3 is a zero.
------
Solve for &quot;k&quot;::
-----------------------
6(2/3)^3 + 5(2/3)^2 + (2/3)k + 10 = 0
------------------------------------------
6(8/27) + 5(4/9) + (2/3)k + 10 = 0
------
Multiply thru by 27 to get:
48 + 60 + 36k + 270 = 0
36k = -378
-----
k = -10.5
