If the zeroes of x²−9x+k are equal, what is k?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 81/4

For a quadratic ax²+bx+c, equal zeroes occur precisely when its discriminant is zero. The discriminant is Δ=b²−4ac. In x²−9x+k, a=1, b=−9, and c=k, so Δ=(−9)²−4(1)(k)=81−4k. Setting this equal to zero gives 81−4k=0, hence 4k=81 and k=81/4. Therefore option C is correct. Option B is the square of 9 but omits the factor 4 from the discriminant formula. Option A and option D arise from incorrect rearrangement or division. The equal-root condition is the governing idea; no numerical solving of the roots is needed, although the resulting repeated root would be 9/2.
