Answer:
k= +6 or -6.
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2+ kx+9=0
If roots are equal, discriminent delta =0
b^2-4ac=0, where a=1, b=k, c=9
k^2-4(1)(9)=0
k^2-(4×9)=0
k^2-36=0
k^2=36
k=√36
k=+6 or -6

Given :-
- Quadratic equation: x² + kx + 9 has equal roots.
To find :-
- Value of k
Solution :-
As the given quadratic equation x² + kx + 9 has equal zeros so, discriminate = 0
We will use discriminate formula :
⇒ D = b² - 4ac = 0
Comparing the given equation with ax² + bx + c we get,
- b = k
- a = 1
- c = 9
Putting values :
⇒ (k)² - (4 × 1 × 9) = 0
⇒ k² - 36 = 0
⇒ k² = 36
[ Squaring root on both sides ]
⇒ √k² = √36
⇒ k = ±6
Therefore,
∴ Hence, value of k = ±6 for which the given equation has equal roots.
