Given the polynomial 6x3 + 4x2 − 6x − 4, what is the value of the coefficient 'k' in the factored form? 6x3 + 4x2 − 6x − 4 = 2(x + k)(x − k)(3x + 2) k= ____________ Numerical Answers Expected! Answer for Blank 1:

Respuesta :

[tex] 6x^3+4x^2-6x-4 =\\ 2(3x^3+2x^2-3x-2) =\\ 2(x^2(3x+2)-1(3x+2))=\\
2(x^2-1)(3x+2)=2(x+1)(x-1)(3x+2).
[/tex]

So k=1.
