Answer: k = {8, -8}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for a quadratic equation to have exactly one solution, the discriminant must equal zero. → b² - 4ac = 0

4x² + kx + 4 = 0

↓ ↓ ↓

a=4 b=k c=4

b² - 4ac = 0

k² - 4(4)(4) = 0

k² = 64

k = √64

k = ± 8

What is the discontinuity and zero of the function f(x) = 3x^2 + x - 4 / x-1

7nadin3 [17]

Ans: Option (1) Discontinuity at (1, 7), zero at ( negative four thirds , 0)

Explanation:
Given function:
$f(x) = \frac{3x^2 + x - 4}{x-1}$

Now if we plug in the x = 1, we would have discontinuity as function goes to infinity.

Now for f(1):
$f(x) = \frac{3x^2 + x - 4}{x-1} \\ f(x) = \frac{3x^2 + 4x - 3x - 4}{x-1} \\ f(x) = \frac{x(3x+4)-1(3x+4)}{x-1} \\ f(x) = \frac{(x-1)(3x+4)}{(x-1)} \\ f(x) = 3x+4 \\ now ~ insert ~ x=1: \\ f(1) = 3(1) + 4 = 7 \\ It~means~discontinuity~at~(1,7).\\ Now~let~us~find~zeros.\\ put~ f(x) = 3x+4 ~ equals~ to ~zero. \\ =\ \textgreater \ ~3x+4 = 0 \\ =\ \textgreater \ ~ x = \frac{-4}{3} \\ Hence~zeros=( \frac{-4}{3}, 0)$
