- A$7$
- B$2$
- ✓$9$
- D$14$
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
$9$
If $x + 2$ is a factor of $x^2 + mx + 14,$
then at $x = -2,$
$x^2 + mx + 14 = 0$
$i.e. (-2)^2 + m(-2) + 14 = 0$
$4 - 2m + 14 = 0$
$2m = 18$
$m = 9$
then at $x = -2,$
$x^2 + mx + 14 = 0$
$i.e. (-2)^2 + m(-2) + 14 = 0$
$4 - 2m + 14 = 0$
$2m = 18$
$m = 9$
