How do i find k when x^3+kx^2+2x-3 is divided by X+2 and the remainder is 1

x^3+kx^2+2x-3 gives a remainder 1 when divided by x+2
gives a remainder 1.


We do the actual operation of
division:


x+2) x^3+kx^2 +2x-3(
x^2


        x^3
+2x^2


------------------------


x+2) 
(k-2)x^2 +2x ( (k-2)x


          (k-2)x^2
+2(k-2)x


--------------------------------------


x+2)
(-2k+6)x          - 3   (     (-2k+6)


        (-2k+6)x -
2(-2k+6)


-----------------------------------


                
-4k  +  9 . But this should be equal to 1 as remainder


is 
1 by data given.


So -4k+9 =
1.


-4k = 1-9 = -8. 


 k = -8/-4
= 2.


Thus if k = 2, then the given expression  would be
x^3+2x^2+x-3  will give a remainder 1 when divided by x+2.
