Answer in terms of a trigonometric function :
Answer in figures
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the sketch attached below to better understand the problem.
Let x be the distance between point B and the base of the water tower.
From equation 2,
substituting the value of x into equation 1, we get
cross multiplying,
The height of the tower is in terms of the trig function "Tan"
The equation can simply be evaluated to get the answer in figures since the angles are given in the question
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
