Question 1161506
<br>
If 3x-1 is a factor, then x=1/3 is a root.<br>
Use synthetic division to find the value of k that makes the remainder zero.<br><pre>


   1/3 | 3   8   k    -2
       |     1   3  (1/3)k+1
       ----------------------
         3   9  k+3  (1/3)k-1</pre>
{{{(1/3)k-1 = 0}}}
{{{k-3 = 0}}}
{{{k = 3}}}<br>
