Answer:

k = (1 , 4)

Explanation:

here's your solution

==> k^2 - 5k + 4. [ is expression ]

==> by using middle term split

==> k^2 - 4k - k + 4

==> taking common from each

==> k(k - 4) - 1 (k - 4)

==> (k - 1) , (k - 4).

==> k - 1 = 0

==> k = 1

==> k - 4 = 0

==> k = 4

hence , k = (1 , 4)

hope it helps
