Question
If the roots of 2x2 - 6x + k = 0 are real and equal, find k.
Solution
The roots of the quadratic equation are real and equal.
∴ b² - 4ac = 0
(-6)² - 4 × 2 × k = 0
- 8k = -36
`k = 9/2`

One of the roots of equation x2 + 5x + a = 0 is – 3. To find the value of a, fill in the boxes.
Since, `square` is a root of equation x2 + 5x + a = 0
∴ Put x = `square` in the equation
⇒ `square^2 + 5 xx square + a` = 0
⇒ `square + square + a` = 0
⇒ `square + a` = 0
⇒ a = `square`
