Question
If the roots of the quadratic equation `2x^2+8x+k=0` are equal then find the value of k.
Solution
It is given that the roots of the quadratic equation `2x^2+8x+k=0`
are equal.
∴`D=0`
⇒`8^2-4xx2xxk=0`
⇒`64-8k=0`
⇒`k=8`
Hence, the value of k is `8`.

The ratio of fruit trees and vegetable trees in an orchard is 3:4. If 6 more trees of each type are planted, the ratio of trees would be 6:7. Find the number of fruit trees and vegetable trees in the orchard.
The ratio of fruit trees and vegetable trees = 3:4
So, let the number of fruit trees= 3x and the number of vegetable trees = `square`
From the given condition,
`(3x + square)/(square + square) = square/square`
`square (3x + square) = square (square + square)`
`square + square = square + square`
`square - square = square - square`
`- square = - square`
`square = square`
x = `square`
∴ Number of fruit trees in the orchard = 3x = 3 × `square` = `square` and number of vegetable trees in the orchard = 4x = 4 × `square` = `square`
Hence, the number of fruit trees and vegetable trees in the orchard are `square` and `square` respectively.
