The value of k, so that quadratic equation 2x2 + kx + 3 = 0 has two equal roots.
(a) 2/6 (b) ± 256 (C) ± 2/3 (d) none of these
Answers
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
When we put D=0
B^2 - 4AC = 0
K^2 - 4×2×3 = 0
K^2 = 24
K = root 24
K = 2root6
Therefore the answer is
: None of these

Correct answer: Option (d) none of these
Formula: We consider a quadratic equation of the form ax² + bx + c = 0. This equations will have equal roots when the discriminant be 0 (zero).
i.e., b² - 4ac = 0
Solution: Here the given equation is
2x² + kx + 3 = 0
Comparing the above equation with the general form of quadratic equation, we get
a = 2, b = k and c = 3
So discriminant = b² - 4ac
= k² - (4 * 2 * 3)
= k² - 24
For equal roots, discriminant = 0
Then k² - 24 = 0
or, k² = 24
or, k = ± 2√6
∴ Option (d) none of these is the correct answer.
