The quadratic polynomial p(x)=2x2+(k−3)x+kp(x)=2x^{2}+(k-3)x+k has zeroes whose sum is 52\dfrac{5}{2}. (a) Determine the value of kk. (b) Using the value obtained in part (a), express p(x)p(x) in its completely factored form. (c) Confirm that your factorisation is correct by substituting each zero in the original polynomial.
