If (f(x)=x^2+kx+1) and (g(x)=x^2-kx+1), and (f-g=6x), what is (k)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (3)

To subtract the two functions, subtract their corresponding expressions. The x^2 terms cancel because they have equal coefficients, and the constant terms also cancel. The remaining terms contain k, so comparing the coefficient of x with the given expression determines k directly.

We calculate f(x)-g(x)=(x^2+kx+1)-(x^2-kx+1). Changing signs in the second bracket gives x^2+kx+1-x^2+kx-1=2kx. The question states that this difference equals 6x, so 2kx=6x for every x. Comparing coefficients gives 2k=6 and therefore k=3. Option A is correct. The value -3 would produce -6x, not 6x.
