Question
In each of the following determine the; value of k for which the given value is a solution of the equation:
kx2 + 2x - 3 = 0; x = 2
Advertisements
Solution
Since, x = 2 is a root of the given equation, therefore, it satisfies the equation i.e.,
k(2)2 + 2 x 2 - 3 = 0
⇒ 4k + 1 = 0
⇒ k = `-(1)/(4)`.
