Assessment: WAEC SSCE - General Mathematics - 2013 (Objective) Subject: General Mathematics

Question 1 Report

The graph of the relation y = x2 + 2x + k passes through the point (2, 0). Find the values of k
Answer Details
We are given the equation y = x2 + 2x + k and we know that it passes through the point (2,0). We can substitute x = 2 and y = 0 into the equation to find k. Substituting, we get: 0 = 22 + 2(2) + k 0 = 4 + 4 + k 0 = 8 + k k = -8 Therefore, the value of k is -8, which is the fourth option.
