The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the value of \( k \) such that the quadratic expression \( 4x^2 + kx + 5 \) is divisible by \( x + 1 \). Then we will find the other factor of the expression. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding Divisibility**: Since \( 4x^2 + kx + 5 \) is divisible by \( x + 1 \), it means that when we substitute \( x = -1 \) into the expression, the result should be zero. 2. **Substituting \( x = -1 \)**: \[ f(-1) = 4(-1)^2 + k(-1) + 5 \] \[ = 4(1) - k + 5 \] \[ = 4 - k + 5 \] \[ = 9 - k \] 3. **Setting the Expression to Zero**: Since \( f(-1) = 0 \): \[ 9 - k = 0 \] \[ k = 9 \] 4. **Forming the New Quadratic Expression**: Now that we have \( k = 9 \), we can rewrite the quadratic expression: \[ 4x^2 + 9x + 5 \] 5. **Factoring the Quadratic Expression**: We will factor \( 4x^2 + 9x + 5 \). We look for two numbers that multiply to \( 4 \times 5 = 20 \) and add to \( 9 \). The numbers \( 4 \) and \( 5 \) satisfy this condition. 6. **Rewriting the Middle Term**: \[ 4x^2 + 4x + 5x + 5 \] 7. **Grouping**: \[ = (4x^2 + 4x) + (5x + 5) \] \[ = 4x(x + 1) + 5(x + 1) \] 8. **Factoring Out the Common Term**: \[ = (4x + 5)(x + 1) \] 9. **Identifying the Other Factor**: The expression \( 4x^2 + 9x + 5 \) is now factored into \( (4x + 5)(x + 1) \). Thus, the other factor besides \( x + 1 \) is \( 4x + 5 \). ### Final Answer: The same expression \( 4x^2 + kx + 5 \) is also divisible by \( 4x + 5 \).
