Find the constant k so that : -x2 - (k + 11)x - 8 = -(x - 2)(x - 4)	Choose one.
A) 11  B) 12  C) 17  D) 14  E) 15
-x2 - (k + 11)x - 8 = -(x - 2)(x - 4) : given   -x2 - (k + 11)x - 8 = -x2 + 6x - 8   -(k + 11) = 6 : two polynomials are equal if their corresponding coefficients are equal.   k = -17 : solve the above for k   correct answer 17
