Question :
Find the value of m for which the given equation has real and equal roots.
x² + 2(m - 1)x + (m + 5) = 0
Answer :
The required value of m is 4 (or) -1
Step-by-step explanation :
Given :
the quadratic equation is x² + 2(m - 1)x + (m + 5) = 0
To find :
the value of m
Solution :
For the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0 ;
the nature of roots is determined by the value of discriminant which is given by D = b² - 4ac
So, for the given quadratic equation,
- a = 1
- b = 2(m - 1)
- c = m + 5
Finding the discriminant,
D = [2(m - 1)]² - 4(1)(m + 5)
D = 4[m² + 1² - 2(m)(1)] - 4(m + 5)
D = 4[m² + 1 - 2m] - 4m - 20
D = 4m² + 4 - 8m - 4m - 20
D = 4m² - 12m - 16
Since the given equation has real and equal roots, D = 0
4m² - 12m - 16 = 0
4[m² - 3m - 4] = 0
m² - 3m - 4 = 0/4
m² - 3m - 4 = 0
m² + m - 4m - 4 = 0
m[m + 1] - 4[m + 1] = 0
[m + 1] [m - 4] = 0
⇒ m + 1 = 0 ; m = -1
⇒ m - 4 = 0 ; m = 4
The value of m can be either 4 (or) -1
Step by step explanation:-
x² +2(m-1) x + m+5 =0
Given that roots are real &Equal
If Discriminant = 0 Roots are real and equal
Discriminant =b²-4ac
Since,
b²-4ac=0
x² +2(m-1) x +(m+5)=0
a = 1
b = 2(m-1)
c = m+5
b²-4ac = 0
[2(m-1)]²-4(1)(m+5) = 0
4(m-1)² -4(m+5) = 0
4(m²-2m+1) -4m-20=0
4m²-8m+4-4m-20=0
4m²-12m-16=0
Take common 4
4(m²-3m-4)=0
m²-3m-4=0
m² -4m+m-4 =0
m(m-4) +1(m-4) =0
(m-4) (m +1) =0
m -4 =0
m= 4
m+1=0
m = -1
So,Required values of m are 4,-1
