Q:

(3x + 2) (2x - 5) = ax² + kx + n. What is the value of  a - n + k ?

A) 4 B) 1
C) 5 D) 3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 5

Explanation:

(3x + 2) (2x - 5) = ax2+kx+n ...............(1)

 

But (3x + 2)(2x - 5) = 6x2-11x-10........(2)

 

so by comparing (1) & (2),

 

we get a= 6, k= -11 , n= -10

 

(a - n + k) = 6 + 10 - 11 = 5.
