Answer:

k = - \frac{2}{3} , 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 = - \frac{2}{3}

k - 2 = 0 ⇒ k = 2

List all partitions of the set. (a) (1,2) (b) [a, b,c)
Alchen [17]

Answer: Hello mate!

The partition of a set is defined as a partition of the set into a nonempty subset, where the set itself is a subset of himself, then the set is a partition of himself.

a) in this we have a set of two objects; A = (1,2) the partitions of this set are: (∅), (1), (2) and (1,2). Where (∅) is the null set.

b) Now we have a set of three objects; B = (a,b,c) the partitions of this set are: (∅), (a), (b), (c), (a,b), (a,c), (b,c), (a,b,c)

Can someone please give me the perimeter and area answer SHOW WORK
stich3 [128]
Just add up the lengths of the four sides, and you have the perimeter.

The perimeter is:
(4x-7)*2 + (10x^2+4x-2)*2 =
8x-14 + 20x^2+8x-4 =
20x^2 + 16x - 18
