Answers
Correct Question:-
Find the value of k such that the polynomial x² - (k + 6)x + 2(2k - 1) has sum of its zeros equal to half of their product.
Answer:-
k = 7
Solution:-
❍ x² - (k + 6)x + 2(2k - 1)
If I want to expand the above equation then it will looks like as
x² - kx + 6x + 4k - 2
But wait! It is in the form ax² + bx + c.
Where, a = 1, b = -(k + 6) and c = 2(2k - 1)
We have to find the value of k.
We know that,
➭ Sum of zeros = -b/a
→ -[-(k + 6)]/1
→ (k + 6)/1
→ k + 6
➭ Product of zeros = c/a
→ 2(2k - 1)/1
→ 4k - 2
Also given that, Sum of it's zero is equal to half of it's product.
Sum of zeros = 1/2 × Product of zeros
→ k + 6 = 1/2(4k - 2)
→ k + 6 = 1/2 × 2(2k - 1)
→ k + 6 = 2k - 1
→ k - 2k = - 1 - 6
→ - k = -7
→ k = 7
•°• Value of k is 7.
Find the value of k such that the polynomial x²- (k + 6)x + 2(2k- 1) has sum of its zeros equal to half of their product.
→ The sum of the roots of a quadratic equation is equal to the negation of the coefficient of the second term, divided by the leading coefficient.
→ The product of the roots of a quadratic equation is equal to the constant term (the third term), divided by the leading coefficient.
or we can say that, for Equation ax² + bx + c = 0
→ sum of Roots = -b/a
→ Product of Roots = c/a .

According to Question Now,
Hence, Value of K will be (7) .
If A•x^2 + B•x + C = 0 ,is any quadratic equation,
then its discriminant is given by;
D = B^2 - 4•A•C
• If D = 0 , then the given quadratic equation has real and equal roots.
• If D > 0 , then the given quadratic equation has real and distinct roots.
• If D < 0 , then the given quadratic equation has unreal (imaginary) roots.
