Question 1 – Choice 2 Find the values of k for which the quadratic equation 3𝑥2 + 𝑘𝑥 + 3 = 0 has real and equal roots. Given 3𝑥2 + 𝑘𝑥 + 3 = 0 Comparing equation with ax2 + bx + c = 0 Here, a = 3, b = 𝑘, c = 3 Since the equation has 2 equal roots, D = 0 b2 – 4ac = 0 Putting values 𝑘^2−4 × 3 × 3=0 𝑘^2−36=0 𝑘^2=36 𝑘 = ±√36 𝒌 = ±𝟔 Hence, 𝒌 = 𝟔 or 𝒌 = −𝟔
