  1. Q1. A photographer arranging studio lights asks: which k lets (x - 2) divide x^2 + 3x + k with no remainder?

    • A.-2
    • B.2
    • C.-10
    • D.10

    Answer: C. -10

    By the Factor Theorem the binomial is a factor exactly when the quadratic is zero at x = 2. So 4 + 6 + k = 0, giving k = -10.

  2. Q2. During a science fair a pupil presenting a model asks: what constant k forces (x - 3) to split off from x^2 + 7x + k?

    • A.12
    • B.-12
    • C.-30
    • D.30

    Answer: C. -30

    By the Factor Theorem the binomial is a factor exactly when the quadratic is zero at x = 3. So 9 + 21 + k = 0, giving k = -30.

  3. Q3. A carpenter aligning a laser level asks: if x = 3 is a root of x^2 + 4x + k, what is k?

    • A.3
    • B.-3
    • C.21
    • D.-21

    Answer: D. -21

    By the Factor Theorem the binomial is a factor exactly when the quadratic is zero at x = 3. So 9 + 12 + k = 0, giving k = -21.
