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:

<u>The correct answer is the letter C. </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the following trigonometric identity:

cos(60)=\frac{6}{b} (1)

cos(45)=\frac{c}{b} (2)

Solving each equation by b and equaling we have:

\frac{6}{cos(60)}=\frac{c}{cos(45)}

\frac{6}{cos(60)}=\frac{c}{cos(45)}

Let's recall that:

cos(45)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

cos(60)=\frac{1}{2}

Then we have:

c=\frac{cos(45)*6}{cos(60)}

c=\frac{2*6}{\sqrt{2}}

c=\frac{12}{\sqrt{2}}

c=6\sqrt{2}

Using equation (1) we can find b.

cos(60)=\frac{6}{b}  

b=12      

Finally, we can find a using the next equation:

tan(60)=\frac{a}{6}

a=6*tan(60)

a=6\sqrt{3}

<u>Therefore, the correct answer is the letter C. </u>

I hope it helps you!
