It is given that -6 is one of the roots of the quadratic equation (x+k)^2=25 where K is a constant. Find the values of K?
-------------------------------------------------------

answers:
Krishnamurthy say: It is given that -6 is one of the roots of the quadratic equation
(x + k)^2 = 25 where k is a constant.
(x + k)^2 - 5^2 = 0
(x + k + 5)(x + k - 5) = 0
k - 5 = -6

The value of k is
-
David say: k = 11 or 1 because (-6+11)^2 = 25 or (-6+1)^2 = 25
