For what value(s) of k, the roots of the equation \( \Large 9x^{2} + 2Kx + 4 = 0 \) will be equal ?
Correct Answer: Description for Correct answer:
Sum of roots = \( \Large 2 \alpha \) = \( \Large \frac{-2k}{9} \)
=> \( \Large \alpha = \frac{-k}{9} \)
Product of roots = \( \Large \alpha^{2} = \frac{4}{9} \)
\( \Large \therefore (\frac{-k}{9})^{2} = \frac{4}{9} \)
=> \( \Large \frac{k^{2}}{81} = \frac{4}{9} => k^{2} = 36 \)
=> \( \Large k = \pm 6 \)
