Question

find "k" of the sum of the zeros of the polynomial x×x (k+6)x+2 (2k+1) is half their product ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let α and β are the roots of given quadratic equation x² - ( k +6)x + 2(2k +1) = 0 [ you did mistake in typing of equation , I just correct it ]

Now, sum of roots = α + β = - {-( k + 6)}/1 = (k + 6)

product of roots = αβ = 2(2k + 1)/1= 2(2k + 1)

A/C to question,

sum of roots ( zeros ) = 1/2 × products of roots zeros

⇒ (k + 6) = 1/2 × 2(2k + 1)

⇒ (k + 6) = (2k + 1)

⇒ k + 6 = 2k + 1

⇒ k = 5

Hence, k = 5
