Find the values of k for which the given quadratic equation has real and distinct roots:
(a) $k x^{2}+2 x+1=0$
(b) $k x^{2}+6 x+1=0$
(c) $x^{2}-k x+9=0$
(i) The given quadric equation is $k x^{2}+2 x+1=0$, and roots are real and distinct
Then find the value of $k$.
Here,
$a=k, b=2$ and,$c=1$
As we know that $D=b^{2}-4 a c$
Putting the value of $a=k, b=2$ and, $c=1$
$D=(2)^{2}-4 \times k \times 1$
$=4-4 k$
The given equation will have real and distinct roots, if $D>0$
$4-4 k>0$
Now factorizing of the above equation
$4-4 k>0$
$4 k<4$
$k<\frac{4}{4}$
$<1$
Now according to question, the value of k less than 1
Therefore, the value of $k<1$
(ii) The given quadric equation is $k x^{2}+6 x+1=0$, and roots are real and distinct.
Then find the value of k.
Here,
$a=k, b=6$ and,$c=1$
As we know that $D=b^{2}-4 a c$
Putting the value of $a=k, b=6$ and, $c=1$
$D=(6)^{2}-4 \times k \times 1$
$=36-4 k$
The given equation will have real and distinct roots, if $D>0$
$36-4 k>0$
Now factorizing of the above equation
$36-4 k>0$
$4 k<36$
$k<\frac{36}{4}$
$<9$
Now according to question, the value of k less than 9
Therefore, the value of $k<9$
(iii) The given quadric equation is $x^{2}-k x+9=0$, and roots are real and distinct
Then find the value of $k$.
Here,
$a=1, b=k$ and,$c=9$
As we know that $D=b^{2}-4 a c$
Putting the value of $a=1, b=k$ and, $c=9$
$D=(k)^{2}-4 \times 1 \times 9$
$=k^{2}-36$
The given equation will have real and distinct roots, if $D>0$
$k^{2}-36>0$
Now factorizing of the above equation
$k^{2}-36>0$
$k^{2}>36$
$k>\sqrt{36}=\pm 6$
$k<-6$ or $k>6$
Therefore, the value of $k<-6$ or, $k>6$
