Type the correct answer in the box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar. If x+2 is a factor of x^3-6x^2-11x+k then k=

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

f(x) = x³ – 6x² – 11x + k

Factor => x + 2

Next, we shall obtained the value of x from x + 2. This can be obtained as follow:

x + 2 = 0

Collect like terms

x = 0 – 2

Finally, we shall determine the the value of k. This can be obtained as  illustrated below:

f(x) = x³ – 6x² – 11x + k

x = –2

f(–2) = 0 since x + 2 is a factor

x³ – 6x² – 11x + k = 0

(–2)³ – (–2)² – 11(–2) + k = 0

–8 – (4) + 22 + K = 0

–8 – 4 + 22 + K = 0

10 + k = 0

Collect like terms

k = 0 – 10

Therefore, the value of k is –10
