Answer:
y² - (K- 2)y + 2k +1 = 0
equal roots means D=0
D= b^2 - 4ac
a=1, b= (k-2), c= 2k+1
so,
(k-2)^2 - 4(1)(2k+1) = 0
=> k^2 +4 - 8k -4 = 0
=> k^2 -8k = 0
=> k^2 = 8k
=> k= 8k/k
=> k = 8
Therefore the answer is k= 8
Hope it helps........
P = s + (s + 5) + (s + 5) This represents the two sides that are 5 inches longer than the base (s + 5) and the base (s).
Simplifying.
100 = 3s + 10
subtract 10 from both sides
90 = 3s
divide both sides by 3
30 = s
base = 30
sides = 35
CHECK 30 + 35 + 35 = 100
The correct answer would be B
