Answer: The value of k for which one root of the quadratic equation kx2 - 14x + 8 = 0 is six times the other is k = 3.
Let's look into the solution step by step.
Explanation:
Given: A quadratic equation, kx2 - 14x + 8 = 0
Let the two zeros of the equation be α and β.
According to the given question, if one of the roots is α the other root will be 6α.
Thus, β = 6α
Hence, the two zeros are α and 6α.
We know that for a given quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0
The sum of the zeros is expressed as,
α + β = - b / a
The product of the zeros is expressed as,
αβ = c / a
For the given quadratic equation kx2 - 14x + 8 = 0,
a = k, b = -14, c = 8
The sum of the zeros is:
α + 6α = 14 / k [Since the two zeros are α and 6α]
⇒ 7α = 14 / k
⇒ α = 2 / k --------------- (1)
The product of the zeros is:
⇒ α × 6α = 8 / k [Since the two zeros are α and 6α]
⇒ 6α 2 = 8 / k
⇒ 6 (2 / k)2 = 8 / k [From (1)]
⇒ 6 × (4 / k) = 8
⇒ k = 24 / 8
⇒ k = 3

Answer:
Slope, m = 1100
y-intercept,c = 2491
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
The above gives the altitude of the airplane above the sea level in feet(y) after x minutes since the take off.
Comparing the above equation, to a general linear equation, we have,
where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.
Comparing we get,
Slope, m = 1100
y-intercept,c = 2491
Interpretation:
- The slope of equation tells us about the rate of change of function with unit increase in value of x. Thus, the altitude of airplane increases 1100 feet when the time increases by 1 minute.
- The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0. Thus, the altitude of airplane is 2491 feet when the airplane has not taken off.
