Find the values of k for roots are real and equal in equation: kx2 + 4x + 1 = 0

Answer»

The given equation kx2 + 4x + 1 = 0 is in the form of ax2 + bx + c = 0

Where a = k, b = 4, c = 1

For the equation to have real and equal roots, the condition is

D = b2 – 4ac = 0

⇒ 42 – 4(k)(1) = 0

⇒ 16 – 4k = 0

⇒ k = 4

The value of k is 4.
