In each of the following, find the value of $k$ for which the given value is a solution of the given equation:
$x^2-x(a+b)+k=0$, $x=a$
Given:
Given equation is $x^2-x(a+b)+k=0$.
To do:
We have to find the value of $k$ for which $x=a$ is a solution of $x^2-x(a+b)+k=0$.
Solution:
If $x=m$ is a solution of $f(x)$ then $f(m)=0$.
Therefore,
For $x=a$
$x^2-x(a+b)+k=0$
$(a)^2-a(a+b)+k=0$
$a^2-a^2-ab+k=0$
$k=ab$
The value of $k$ is $ab$.
