Answer: The value of k for which one root of the quadratic equation kx2 - 14x + 8 = 0 is six times the other is k = 3.
Let's look into the solution step by step.

Explanation:

Given: A quadratic equation, kx2 - 14x + 8 = 0

Let the two zeros of the equation be α and β.

According to the given question, if one of the roots is α the other root will be 6α.

Thus, β = 6α

Hence, the two zeros are α and 6α.

We know that for a given quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0

The sum of the zeros is expressed as,

α + β = - b / a

The product of the zeros is expressed as,

αβ = c / a

For the given quadratic equation kx2 - 14x + 8 = 0,

a = k, b = -14, c = 8

The sum of the zeros is:

α + 6α = 14 / k [Since the two zeros are α and 6α]

⇒ 7α = 14 / k

⇒ α = 2 / k --------------- (1)

The product of the zeros is:

⇒ α × 6α = 8 / k [Since the two zeros are α and 6α]

⇒ 6α 2 = 8 / k

⇒ 6 (2 / k)2 = 8 / k [From (1)]

⇒ 6 × (4 / k) = 8

⇒ k = 24 / 8

⇒ k = 3

Answer:

the slope shows that the average rating increased 0.4 points per month

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation is written in slope-intercept form. aka y=mx+b. m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept. therefore in the equation y=0.4x+3 the slope is 0.4

hope this made sense and helped you for future problems :)
