The polynomials $4x^2-7x-15$4x27x15 and $5x^2+13x+k$5x2+13x+k have a common factor of $x+p$x+p, where $p$p is an integer.

a

Using the fact that $x+p$x+p is a factor of $4x^2-7x-15$4x27x15, solve for the value of $p$p.

b

Using the fact that $x+p$x+p is a factor of $5x^2+13x+k$5x2+13x+k, solve for $k$k.
