`kx^2-2sqrt5x+4=0`
Advertisements
Solution
The given quadric equation is `kx^2-2sqrt5x+4=0`, and roots are real and equal
Then find the value of k.
Here, a = k, `b=-2sqrt5`, and c = 4
As we know that D = b2 - 4ac
Putting the value of a = k, `b=-2sqrt5`, and c = 4
`=(-2sqrt5)^2-4xxkxx4`
= 20 - 16k
The given equation will have real and equal roots, if D = 0
Thus,
20 - 16k = 0
16k = 20
k = 20/16
k = 5/4
Therefore, the value of k = 5/4.

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.
