Answer:

k = 4 \\

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the values of k for which the equation

k {x}^{2}  - kx + 1 = 0 \\

has real and equal roots.

We know that a Quadratic equation has equal roots if D= 0

D =0 \\  \\   {b}^{2}  - 4ac = 0 \\  \\k {x}^{2}   - kx + 1 \\  \\ a = k \\ \\  b =  - k \\  \\ c = 1 \\  \\  {( - k)}^{2}  - 4(k)(1) = 0 \\  \\  {k}^{2}  - 4k = 0 \\  \\ k(k - 4) = 0 \\  \\ k = 0 \\  \\ or \\  \\ k = 4 \\  \\

Here we have to discard k=0,because then the equation will not be a Quadratic equation.

So,

 \boxed{k = 4} \\

is the right answer.

Hope it helps you.
