Answer:
12.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given Quadratic equation is 2x² - 10x + k = 0.
Here, a = 2, b = -10, c = k.
Given that Equation has real and equal roots.
∴ b² - 4ac = 0
⇒ (-10)² - 4(2)(k) = 0
⇒ 100 - 8k = 0
⇒ 100 = 8k
⇒ (100/8) = k
⇒ k = 12.5
∴ Therefore, value of k = 12.5
Hope it helps!

step-by-step explanation:
Given,
a quadratic equation:-
we know that,
standard form of a quadratic equation is
so comparing the given equation,
we get,
a = 2
b = -10
c = k
Now,
we know that,
for real and equal roots,
Descriminant, D = 0
=>
now,
putting the respective values,
we get,
=>
=> 100 - 8k = 0
=> 8k = 100
=> k = 100/8
=> k = 25/2
Hence,
for real and equal roots,
the value of,
K =
