Answer 1

Answer:

k = - $\frac{16}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x = - 2 is a zero , then p(- 2) = 0 , that is

2(- 2)² - 3(- 2)(5k + 4) = 0

2(4) + 6(5k + 4) = 0 ← distribute parenthesis

8 + 30k + 24 = 0

30k + 32 = 0 ( subtract 32 from both sides )

30k = - 32 ( divide both sides by 30 )

k = $\frac{-32}{30}$ = - $\frac{16}{15}$

Answer 2

Given Polynomial P(x) = 2x^2-3x(5k+4)

Zero = -2

We know that

If -2 is zero of the Polynomial then it satisfies the given Polynomial

⇛P(-2) = 0

⇛ 2(-2)^2-3(-2)(5k+4)=0

⇛ 2(4)+6(5k+4) = 0

⇛ 8+30k+24 = 0

⇛ 30k+32 = 0

⇛ 30 k = -32

⇛ k = -32/30

⇛ k = -16/15

Answer:- The value of k = -16/15.
