Given: One root of is reciprocal of the other root.
To find: The value of k
Solution: Let one root of this quadratic equation be a.
Since the other root is a reciprocal of the other, the this root, the other root= 1/a
Product of these roots
= a × 1/a
=1
Now, in a quadratic equation ,
the product of the roots = c/a
Here, a=3, b=11 and c=k
Therefore,
Product of roots is
= c/a
=k/3
But product of roots=1
Therefore,
k/3=1
=> k = 1 × 3
=> k = 3
Therefore, the value of k is 3.
