Question

find the value of k for which the following equation has real and equal roots x square - 2x (1+3k)+7(3+2k)=0​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given x

2

−2x(1+3k)+7(3+2k)=0 has equal roots

As we know that

For the quadratic equation to have equal roots discriminant should be zero

⟹(−2(1+3k))

2

−4(1)(7(3+2k))=0

⟹4(1+3k)

2

−28(3+2k)=0

⟹(9k

2

+6k+1)−21−14k=0

⟹9k

2

−8k−20=0

⟹9k

2

−18k+10k−20=0

⟹9k(k−2)+10(k−2)=0

⟹(9k+10)(k−2)=0

⟹k=−
