Question
In the following determine the set of values of k for which the given quadratic equation has real roots:
2x2 − 5x − k = 0
Advertisements
Solution
The given quadric equation is 2x2 − 5x − k = 0, and roots are real
Then find the value of k.
Here,
a = 2
b = −5
c = k
As we know that D = b2 − 4ac
Putting the value of a = 2, b = −5 and c = k
= (−5)2 − 4 × (2) × (−k)
= 25 + 8k
The given equation will have real roots, if D ≥ 0
25 + 8k ≥ 0
8k ≥ −25
k ≥ `−25/8`
Therefore, the value of k ≥ `−25/8`
