Answer:
k = - , k = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the discriminant Δ = b² - 4ac
The condition for equal roots is b² - 4ac = 0
Given
kx² + 2x + k = - kx ( add kx to both sides )
kx² + 2x + kx + k = 0 , that is
kx² + (2 + k)x + k = 0 ← in standard form
with a = k, b = 2 + k and c = k , thus
(2 + k)² - 4k² = 0 ← expand and simplify left side
4 + 4k + k² - 4k² = 0
- 3k² + 4k + 4 = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 )
3k² - 4k - 4 = 0 ← in standard form
(3k + 2)(k - 2) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for k
3k + 2 = 0 ⇒ 3k = - 2 ⇒ k = -
k - 2 = 0 ⇒ k = 2
u = 10.4 and v = 12
Solution:
In the given 2 sides of a triangle are 60°, 60°.
Sum of all the angles of a triangle = 180°
60° + 60° + third angle = 180°
⇒ third angle = 180° – 60° – 60°
⇒ third angle = 60°
All angles are equal, therefore the given triangle is an equilateral triangle.
⇒ All sides are equal in length.
⇒ v = 12
The line drawn from the top angle divides the triangle into two equal parts
and the line is perpendicular.
12 ÷ 2 = 6
Using Pythagoras theorem,

⇒ u = 10.4
Hence, u = 10.4 and v = 12.
