If 3 is a root of x2 + kx - 24 = 0. It is also a root of
C.
We have,
3 is the roots of x2 + kx - 24 = 0
Then, 9 + 3k - 24 = 0
3k = 15 ⇒ k = 5
Also, x2 - kx + 6 = 0
9 - 3x + 6 = 0 ⇒ k = 5
Thus 3 is also the root of x2 - kx + 6 = 0

Let a 0 and p(x) be a polynomial of degree greater than 2. If p(x) leaves remainders a and - a when divided respectively by x + a and x - a, then the remainder when p(x) is divided by x2 - a2 is:
x
- x
- 2x
2x
