Solution

The zeroes of the polynomial x² + 11x + k are α and β.

According to Vieta's formulas, the sum of the zeroes (α + β) is equal to -b/a = -11/1 = -11 and the product of the zeroes (α*β) is equal to c/a = k/1 = k.

Given that α² + β² = 115, we can express this in terms of the sum and product of the zeroes as follows:

α² + β² = (α + β)² - 2αβ 115 = (-11)² - 2*k 115 = 121 - 2k 2k = 121 - 115 2k = 6 k = 6/2 k = 3

So, the value of k is 3. The correct answer is C3.
