If 2 and 3 are the roots of the polynomial 3x^2 - 2kx + 2m=0 then find the value of m.

(3x-9)(x-2) = 0

3x^2 -15x + 18 = 0      m = 9

 

(3x-6)(x-3) = 0

3x^2 -15x + 18 = 0      m = 9

In the form   ax^2 + bx + c

 

The product of the roots =   c /a   =     (2m) / 3

 

So

 

2 * 3  =  2m / 3

 

6  =  2m  / 3

 

18  = 2m

 

m  = 9
