If x-4 x^2-5 x-2 k = 2 x-2 - 1 x+k^ , then k is equal to
Options
- A-3
- B-2
- C2
- D3
Correct answer
A. -3
Step-by-step solution
We have, aligned x-4 x^2-5 x-2 k & = 2 x-2 - 1 x+k x-4 x^2-5 x-2 k & = 2(x+k)-(x-2) (x-2)(x+k) & = x+2 k+2 (x-2)(x+k) aligned On equating, we get aligned -4 & =2 k+2 2 k & =-6 k=-3 aligned
