X² - kx+4-0If the equation hasequal roots, thenb²-4ac=0where a=1, b = -k and c=4​

Mathematics
1 answer:
olga55 [171]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

k = ± 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - kx + 4 = 0 ← in standard form

with a = 1, b = - k, c = 4

The equation has equal roots, thus the discriminant

b² - 4ac = 0, that is

(- k)² - (4 × 1 × 4) = 0

k² - 16 = 0 ( add 16 to both sides )

k² = 16 ( take the square root of both sides )

k = ± \sqrt{16} = ± 4

Solve.<br> 2log(x+1)-log(x+3)=log1
guapka [62]

Answer: x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2log(x+1) - log (x+3) = log 1

log(x+1)^2 - log (x+3) = log 1

log [(x+1)^2 / (x+3)] = log 1

(x+1)^2 / (x+3) = 0

(x+1)^2 = 0

x = 1 or x = -1 (rejected, as log0 does not exist)

Which is the better buy? 16 cards for $12.20 OR 14 cards for $10.90
Andrews [41]

Answer:

The better buy is 16 cards for $12.20 because

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find the individual price for each card in the packet. So first lets do 16 cards for $12.20, you divide $12.20 by 16 to get the price of one card. 12.2/16=0.7625, or about $0.76. Next we do $10.90 divided by 14, 10.9/14=0.7785, or about $0.78, which means 16 cards for $12.20 is the better buy!
