c. 2
d. 1

Respuesta :

The answer to this question is C.2 I think

The value of the constant 'k' in the factored form is 2.

The correct answer is an option (C)

What is polynomial?

"It is a mathematical expression that contains two or more algebraic terms that are added, subtracted, or multiplied."

What is factorization of polynomials?

"It means decomposing the given polynomial into a product of two or more polynomials "

For given question,

We have been given the factored form of polynomial.

[tex]8x^3 + 6x^2 - 32x - 24 = 2(x + k)(x - k)(4x + 3)[/tex]

We can write the given polynomial as,

[tex]8x^3 + 6x^2 - 32x - 24 \\\\=2(4x^3+3x^2-16x-12)\\\\=2(x^2-4)(4x+3)\\\\=2(x^2-2^2)(4x+3)\\\\=2(x+2)(x-2)(4x+3)[/tex]

This means, the value of k is 2.

Therefore, the value of the constant 'k' in the factored form is 2.

The correct answer is an option (C)
