The value of k in the polynomial is 3

How to solve for k?

The quotient is given as:

(x^2+5x+k)/(x+6)

The remainder is 9

Set the denominator to 0

x + 6 = 0

Solve for x

x = -6

This means that:

f(-6) = 9

So, we have:

(-6)^2 + 5(-6) + k = 9

Evaluate

6+ k = 9

Subtract 6 from both sides

k = 3

hence, the value of k is 3
