x2 + kx − 15 What is the value of k? A. 3 B. 2 C. −2 D. −3 Answer In the given figure‚ the graph intersects x-axis at two points‚ (−3‚ 0) and (5‚ 0). Therefore‚ x = −3 and x = 5 are the zeroes of the polynomial p(x). Substituting x = 5 in p(x)‚ we obtain p(5) = (5)2 + k(5) − 15 = 0 ⇒ 25 + 5k − 15 = 0 ⇒ 5k = −10 ⇒ k = −2 Thus‚ the value of k is −2. The correct answer is C. Q3) If the pair of linear equations‚ 7x + k1y = 2 and k2x + 2y = 3‚ has a unique solution‚ then which
