The relation y = x2 + 2x + k passes through the point (2,0). Find the value of k
-
A.
– 8 -
B.
– 4 -
C.
4 -
D.
8
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
Y = x2 + 2x + k (given)
y = o when x = 2
thus 0 = 22 + 2 x 2 + k
0 = 4 + 4 + k
given k = -8
Y = x2 + 2x + k (given)
y = o when x = 2
thus 0 = 22 + 2 x 2 + k
0 = 4 + 4 + k
given k = -8
