Find the value of k so that the quadratic equation x
2
– 2x(1 + 3k) + 7(3 + 2k) = 0 has equal roots
Answers
given x-2 = 0
x=2
2x(1+3k) +7(3+2k) = 0
2(2)(1+3k)+21 + 14k = 0
4+ 12k +21 +14k=0
25 + 26k = 0
k= -25/26
if this answer helps u then do follow me buddy and mark as brainlist please
Answer:
k = -10/9 or k = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
hi there!
we have given equation is
x² + 2x(1 + 3k) +7(3 + 2k) = 0
or
x² + 2(1 + 3k)x +7(3 + 2k) = 0
roots are equal
we have to find the value of k =?
now
we know that an equation have equal roots if and only if D = 0
=> b² -4ac = 0
here comparing the equation with
ax² + bx + c = 0
here
a= 1, b = 2(1 + 3k) and c= 7(3 + 2k)
now
b² - 4ac = 0
= [ 2(1 + 3k) ]² - 4 ×1×7(3 + 2k) = 0
= 4×(1 + 3k)² - 4×7(3 + 2k) = 0
= 4(1 + 9k² + 6k) - 4(21 +14k) =0
= (1 + 9k² + 6k) - (21 +14k) =0
=> 9k² - 8k -20 = 0
now solving the equation we get
= 9k² - 18k + 10k - 20 = 0
= 9k( k- 2) + 10(k -2) =0
=> 9k +10=0 and k -2 = 0
=> k = -10/9 or k = 2
