For what value of k the system
y = x^2 - 6x + 37
y = -2x + k
has one solution?
Answers
Ans--->
k = 33
Given ---> y = x² - 6x + 37
y = - 2x + k
To find---> Value of k if system of
equation has one solution
Solution--->
y = x² - 6x + 37 ----------------(1)
y = -2x + k ----------------(2)
Putting y = -2x + k in equation (1)
-2x + k = x² - 6x + 37
=> x² - 6x + 2x + 37 - k = 0
=> x² - 4x + ( 37 - k ) = 0 -------------(3)
It is a quadratic equation so it has two roots but according to question system of equation has one solution. It means quadratic equation has equal roots
Now comparing equation(3) with
ax² + bx + c = 0
a = 1 , b = -4 , c = ( 37 - k )
Now equation (3) has equal roots so
b² - 4ac = 0
=> ( - 4 )² - 4 ( 1 ) ( 37 - k ) = 0
=> 16 = 4 ( 37 - k )
=> 4 = 37 - k
=> k = 37 - 4
=> k = 33
