Could somebody please help me on the following questions and show me how they are done through working,

I'm not exactly the brightest ext. maths student :D Thanks heaps.


Questions

1. Given two roots of 2x^3 - kx^2 + 8 = 0 are equal, find k.

2. The product of two roots of the equation 2x^3 - kx^2 - 8x + 4 = 0 is 1. Find the value of k.

3. If x^3 - 8x^2 + kx - 12 = 0 has one root equal to the sum of the other two, find the value of k.

4. Given that the equation 2x^3 - x^2 - 13x - 6 = 0 has two roots whose product is unity, solve the equation.

Answers

1. k = 6

2. k = 1

3. k = 19

4. x = -1/2, -2 or 3

Once again, thank you for your help. :)
