For a given value of k,the products the roots of [x ^{2}-2kx+3k ^{2}-4=0 is 5 then roots may be characterized as ...............
\[x^2-2kx+3k^2-4=0\] us that what this says?
yews
plz help
gimme a second
u thr?
yeah thinking.
u hav gtalk?
when it says "characterized" what kind of answer? real? repeated? complex? what is the topic?
quadratics
it means its property
yeah i got that, i mean what kind of answer is expected?
it means its property
real or irrational like that
ok got it
product of roots is the constant, so \[3k^2-4=5\] \[3k^2=9\] \[k^2=3\] \[k=\pm\sqrt{3}\]
equation is \[x^2-2\sqrt{3}x+5=0\] or \[x^2+2\sqrt{3}+5=0\]
so.......
guess we don't have to characterize them, we can find them exactly.
u hav gtalk??plz give email id
there is chat here
bottom right
wel its slow
i hav many questions
actually pretty quick. lets find the zeros ready?
is it real and distinct roots
we have solved for k and know it is \[k=\sqrt{3}\] or \[k=\sqrt{3}\] so equation is \[x^2-2\sqrt{3}x+5=0\] or \[x^2+2\sqrt{3}x+5=0\] we solve the first one using formula get \[x=\frac{2\sqrt{3}\pm+\sqrt{(2\sqrt{3})^2-4\times 1\times 5}}{2}\] \[x=\frac{2\sqrt{3}\pm\sqrt{-8}}{2}\] \[x=\frac{2\sqrt{3}\pm2\sqrt{2}i}{2}\] \[x=\sqrt{3}\pm \sqrt{2}i\]
those are the solutions roots exactly. they are \[\{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}i,\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}i\}\]
