Answer:
The value of k is 14.
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 2) is a factor of the polynomial
[tex]x - 2 = 0 \rightarrow x = 2[/tex]
This means that [tex]p(2) = 0[/tex]
p(x) = 2x² + 3x - k
[tex]p(2) = 2(2)^2 + 3(2) - k[/tex]
[tex]0 = 8 + 6 - k[/tex]
[tex]14 - k = 0[/tex]
[tex]k = 14[/tex]
The value of k is 14.
