If the two roots of the equation \(x^2+(k+2)x+9=0\) are equal, what are the possible values of \(k\)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(k=4\) या \(k=-8\)

For a quadratic equation to have equal roots, its discriminant must be zero. Here, \(a=1\), \(b=k+2\), and \(c=9\), so \(D=(k+2)^2-4(1)(9)=0\). Therefore, \((k+2)^2=36\), giving \(k+2=\pm6\) and hence \(k=4\) or \(k=-8\). Option B results from reversing the signs incorrectly. Exam tip: For equal roots, begin by setting the discriminant \(D\) equal to zero.
