  1. Q1. For what value of k is (x - 2) a factor of p(x) = x^3 + (-3)x^2 + k x + (-6)?

    • A.-5
    • B.-10
    • C.10
    • D.5

    Answer: D. 5

  2. Q2. For what value of k is (x - 1) a factor of p(x) = x^3 + (5)x^2 + k x + (-7)?

    • A.1
    • B.2
    • C.0
    • D.-1

    Answer: A. 1

  3. Q3. For what value of k is (x - 3) a factor of p(x) = x^3 + (-4)x^2 + k x + (-3)?

    • A.4
    • B.12
    • C.-4
    • D.-12

    Answer: A. 4

    Given 3, 3, -4, 2, -3, asked for the unknown. By apply the quadratic formula x = (-b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/(2a) to the given equation. apply the quadratic formula x = (-b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/(2a) to the given equation → so the required value = 4. substitute the coefficients and simplify. Thus option A) 4. Others fail: option B) '12' is wrong because Wrong: uses an incorrect intermediate value; option C) '-4' misses the point - Wrong: a common multi-step slip gives this.
