Find the value of \(k\) such that \(x-4\) is a factor of \(x^{3}-k x^{2}+2 k x-8.\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The value of \(k\) such that \(x-4\) is a factor of \(x^{3}-k x^{2}+2 k x-8\) is \(k = 7\).

Step by step solution

01

Apply the Factor Theorem

Substitute \(x=4\) into the polynomial \(x^{3}-k x^{2}+2 k x-8\), to get \(4^{3}-k 4^{2}+2 k 4-8=0\).
02

Simplify the equation

Simplify the equation to get \(64-16k+8k-8=0\) or equivalently, \(56-8k=0\).
03

Solve for k

Solving the simplified equation for \(k\) gives \(k = \frac{56}{8} = 7\).
