Answer:

\displaystyle k = \frac{5}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

\displaystyle (2k+1)x^2 + 2x = 10x - 6

And we want to find the value of <em>k</em> such that the equation has two real and equivalent roots.

Since the equation is a quadartic, we can find its discriminant (symbolized by Δ). Recall that:

  • If Δ < 0, we have no real roots (two complex roots).
  • If Δ > 0, we have two real roots.
  • And if Δ = 0, we have one real root, or two equivalent ones.

First, rewrite our equation:

(2k+1)x^2 -8x + 6 =0

The discriminant is given by:

\displaystyle \Delta = b^2 -4ac

In this case, <em>b</em> = -8, <em>a</em> = (2<em>k</em> + 1), and <em>c</em> = 6.

Therefore, the discriminant is given by:

\displaystyle \Delta = (-8)^2 - 4(2k+1)(6)

For it to have two equal roots, the discriminant must be zero. Hence:

\displaystyle 0 = (-8)^2 - 4(2k+1)(6)

Solve for <em>k: </em>

<em />\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \displaystyle 0 &= (-8)^2 - 4(2k+1)(6) \\ 0 &= 64 - 48k - 24 \\ 0 &= 40 - 48k \\ -40 &= -48k \\ \\ k &= \frac{5}{6} \end{aligned}<em />

<em />

Hence, the value of <em>k</em> is 5/6.

If meg cycles 6.2 km every morning how many feet are in 6.2 given that 1 mile = 1.609 and 1 mile =5,280
Minchanka [31]
You just have to multiply. 6.2x1.609x5,280 which would give you 8501.72.

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

K(0 , 4)

Midpoint M (3 , 3)

Let Point  L(x₂ , y₂)

Midpoint= (\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}\\\\\\ (\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}) = (3 , 3)\\\\\\ (\frac{0+x_{2}}{2},\frac{4+y_{2}}{2}) = ( 3 , 3)\\\\\\

Compare x and y coordinates

\frac{x_{2}}{2}=3    ;  \frac{4+y_{2}}{2} = 3

Cross multiply,

x₂ = 3*2     ; 4 + y₂ = 3*2

x₂ = 6        ;  4+ y₂ = 6

                         y₂ = 6- 4

                          y₂ = 2

L(6 , 2)
