Edit: I'm sorry, It's "0"

you can start from this point:



solve for k ...

OR

from this piont:

One is easier to solve than the other
But now I understand how to solve the problem. I should had seen it in the beginning. Thanks you two.
Answer is: {7,-7}

Incorrect. Why did you draw that conclusion? Study posts #2 and #3 carefully.

That's the wrong answer? Then I don't know. Just thought it was right. What you guys want me to answer? 7 Couldn't be squared, so I assumed k={7,-7} OH! I see. I written down the answer incorrectly.

There you go.
