Question

Find the values of k that make
`2x^(2)+kx+7` factorable.

Answer 1

the values of k that make > 2x² + kx + 7 factorable
the values of k are 9 & 15
thus
(2x² + 9x + 7) = (2x + 7)(x+ 1) k -9
(2x² + 15x + 7) = (2x +1)(x+7) K =15

Answer 2

`1)\\(2x+1)(x+7)=2x^2+14x+x+7=2x^2+15x+7\ \ \Rightarrow\ \ k=15\\\\2)\\(2x-1)(x-7)=2x^2-14x-x+7=2x^2-15x+7\ \ \Rightarrow\ \ k=-15\\\\3)\\(2x+7)(x+1)=2x^2+2x+7x+7=2x^2+9x+7\ \ \Rightarrow\ \ k=9\\\\4)\\(2x-7)(x-1)=2x^2-2x-7x+7=2x^2-9x+7\ \ \Rightarrow\ \ k=-9\\\\\\Ans.\ there\ are\ four\ solutions:\ k\in \{15;-15;9;-9\}`
