roots of x^2 +5x+6=0 are x=−2, −3.  so we have  (−2)^2 +k(−2)+1=0 ⇒k=(5/2) or  (−3)^2 +k(−3)+1=0 ⇒k=((10)/3)

$${roots}\:{of}\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{5}{x}+\mathrm{6}=\mathrm{0}\:{are}\:{x}=−\mathrm{2},\:−\mathrm{3}. \\ $$$${so}\:{we}\:{have} \\ $$$$\left(−\mathrm{2}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +{k}\left(−\mathrm{2}\right)+\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{0}\:\Rightarrow{k}=\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{2}}\:{or} \\ $$$$\left(−\mathrm{3}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +{k}\left(−\mathrm{3}\right)+\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{0}\:\Rightarrow{k}=\frac{\mathrm{10}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$
