Answer:
[tex]k = 31[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]f(x) = 4x^2 - 2x^2 + kx + 5[/tex]
[tex]r = -10[/tex] --- remainder
[tex]d = 2x + 1[/tex] --- divisor
Required
Find k
We have:
[tex]d = 2x + 1[/tex] --- divisor
Equate to 0
[tex]2x + 1 = 0[/tex]
Solve for x
[tex]2x = -1[/tex]
[tex]x =-0.5[/tex]
This means that:
[tex]f(-0.5)=-10[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]4*(-0.5)^2 - 2*(-0.5)^2 + k*-0.5 + 5 =-10[/tex]
[tex]0.5 -0.5k + 5 =-10[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]-0.5k=-10-5-0.5[/tex]
[tex]-0.5k=-15.5[/tex]
Solve for k
[tex]k = -15.5/-0.5[/tex]
[tex]k = 31[/tex]
