Given the polynomial 2x3 + 18x2 − 18x − 162, what is the value of the coefficient 'k' in the factored form?

2x3 + 18x2 − 18x − 162 = 2(x + k)(x − k)(x + 9)

k=

Will mark determine whether the conjecture is true or false. give a counterexample for any false conjecture. given: points r, s, and t conjecture: r, s, and t are coplanar. a) false; the points do not have to be in a straight line. b) true c) false; the points to not have to form right angles. d) false; one point may not be between the other two.
