Solution 1

The given quadratic polynomial is (k – 1)x² + kx + 1.

We know that if -3 is a root of the polynomial, then by substituting x = -3 in the polynomial, it should equal to zero.

So, (-3)²(k - 1) + k*(-3) + 1 = 0 => 9(k - 1) - 3k + 1 = 0 => 9k - 9 - 3k + 1 = 0 => 6k - 8 = 0 => 6k = 8 => k = 8/6 = 4/3
