it is given 5 and h + 1 are the roots of the quadratic equation x＾2 + (k - 1)x-5 = 0, where h and k are constants. Find the values of h and k.​

Respuesta :

Answer:

The values of h = -2 and 4

The value of k = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Putting x=5 in the given equation,

x²+(k-1)x-5=0

or, 5²+(k-1)*5-5=0

or, 25+5k-5-5=0

or, 15+5k=0

or, 5k=-15

or, k=-3

putting the value of k and the other root (h+1) in the given equation,

(h+1)²+(-3-1)(h+1)-5=0

if you solve this, you'll get h = -2 and h = 4.
