Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If one root of the equation x^2 - 6x + k = 0 is 2, what is the value of k?
  • Step 1: Start with the equation x^2 - 6x + k = 0.
  • Step 2: We know that one root of the equation is 2.
  • Step 3: Substitute 2 into the equation for x: 2^2 - 6*2 + k = 0.
  • Step 4: Calculate 2^2, which is 4.
  • Step 5: Calculate -6*2, which is -12.
  • Step 6: Now the equation looks like: 4 - 12 + k = 0.
  • Step 7: Simplify 4 - 12, which equals -8. So now we have: -8 + k = 0.
  • Step 8: To find k, add 8 to both sides of the equation: k = 8.
