Question
Find the values of k for the following quadratic equation, so that they have two equal roots.
2x2 + kx + 3 = 0
Advertisements
Solution
2x2 + kx + 3 = 0
Comparing equation with ax2 + bx + c = 0, we get
a = 2, b = k and c = 3
Discriminant = b2 - 4ac
= `(k)^2 - 4xx2xx3`
= k2 - 24
For equal roots,
Discriminant = 0
k2 - 24 = 0
k2 = 24
k = `±sqrt24`
k = `±2sqrt6`

Complete the following activity to determine the nature of the roots of the quadratic equation x2 + 2x – 9 = 0 :
Solution :
Compare x2 + 2x – 9 = 0 with ax2 + bx + c = 0
a = 1, b = 2, c = `square`
∴ b2 – 4ac = (2)2 – 4 × `square` × `square`
Δ = 4 + `square` = 40
∴ b2 – 4ac > 0
∴ The roots of the equation are real and unequal.
