Value(s) of k for which the quadratic equation 2x2 – kx + k = 0 has equal roots is/are


If a quadratic equation

ax2 + bx + c = 0, a ≠ 0 has two equal roots, then its discriminant value will be equal to zero i.e.,


D = b2 - 4ac = 0


Given, 2x2 – kx + k = 0


For equal roots,


D = b2 - 4ac = 0


(-k)2 - 4(2)(k) = 0


k2 - 8k = 0


k (k - 8) = 0


k = 0,8
