The product of the roots of a quadratic equation ax²+bx+c=0 is
.
If the roots are reciprocal of each other (say m and
) their product will be 1. So
![\frac{c}{a}=1 \\ \frac{k}{2} = 1 \\ k=2 \frac{c}{a}=1 \\ \frac{k}{2} = 1 \\ k=2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=+%5Cfrac%7Bc%7D%7Ba%7D%3D1+%5C%5C++%5Cfrac%7Bk%7D%7B2%7D+%3D+1+%5C%5C+k%3D2++)

given roots are p,1/p
product of roots=c/a
⇒px1/p=1=k/2
⇒k/2=1
⇒k=2
product of roots=c/a
⇒px1/p=1=k/2
⇒k/2=1
⇒k=2
