Answer:
The value of k for 2x² + kx + 3 = 0 is ±2√6.
Step-by-step explanation:
The quadratic polynomial given here is :
➠ 2x² + kx + 3 = 0
Given that, it is having two equal roots, which means :
Discriminant (D) : b² – 4ac = 0
So, if a particular polynomial has 0 as its discriminant, then it has two real and equal roots.
Now, when we compare 2x² + kx + 3 = 0 to ax² + bx + c = 0, we get :
- a = 2
- b = k
- c = 3
Now, in order to find k, we’ll substitute these values in the discriminant formula and equate it to zero :
➠ b² – 4ac = 0
➠ k² – 4 ( 2 ) ( 3 ) = 0
➠ k² – 24 = 0
➠ k² = 24
➠ k = √24
➠ k = √4 × √6
➠ k = ±2√6
Therefore, the value of k has to be ±2√6 for the equation.
