Question 26
a.

By completing the square, find in terms of the constant k k\,k the roots of the equation

x2+kx−6=0 x^2 + kx - 6 = 0 x2+kx−6=0
[4]
b.

Hence find the exact roots of the equation x2+4x−6=0x^2 + 4x - 6 = 0x2+4x−6=0

[2]
c.

Hence show that the sum of the roots of the equation x2+4x−6=0x^2 + 4x - 6 = 0x2+4x−6=0 is -4
