    If one of the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial \[\left( k-1 \right){{x}^{2}}+kx+1\] is \[-3\], then the value of k is

    A) \[\frac{4}{3}\]

    B) \[-\frac{4}{3}\]

    C) \[\frac{2}{3}\]

    D) \[\frac{-2}{3}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given that, one of the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial say  \[p\left( x \right)=\left( k-1 \right){{x}^{2}}+kx+1\] is
    \[-3\], then \[p\left( -3 \right)=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\left( k-1 \right){{\left( -3 \right)}^{2}}+k)-3+1=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,9\left( k-1 \right)-3k+1=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,9k-9-3k+1=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \,6k-8=0\]
    \[\therefore k=\frac{4}{3}\]
