Given 4 x 2 + 6 x + 2 = 0 has two real roots, where u is the bigger root, and z is the smaller.
If 3 ( 2 u + 9 ) 1 1 4 u k + 2 u z + 5 1 3 k + 9 z = 1 8 + 3 2 , find k .

Given 4x^2+6x+2 = 0. by putting 4,2,6 in the quadratic equation we find that the roots are (-0.5,-1). after finding the roots, we can see that u = (-0.5), and z = (-1). after that, we simplfy (114ul +2uz +513k +9z) to (2u+9)(57k+z) by factoring. we cancel (2u +9) by dividing both denominator and numerator by (2u +9), we are left with (57k-1)/(3) = 18+2/3. by solving the linear equation we find k = 1. we can also check by putting 1 in the original equation.
Thanks for trying my problem!

Thank you! I enjoyed making it, I plan on making more in the future, but I don't have the time to make any, I have so many tests. I will probably make one soon, I'll be glad if you'll solve it, yes i'm 13.

The same situation :D . We have more exams back here in India. And I suggest you to use LaTeX for your solutions.

The Equation is 4 x 2 + 6 x + 2 = 0 . We can find the roots using the formula x = 2 a − b ± b 2 − 4 a c Where a,b,c are the numbers in the equation, where the equation is expressed as a x 2 + b x + c = 0 . x = 8 − 6 ± 4 = − 2 1 a n d − 1 . Where u is the largest root and z is the smallest root ∴ u = − 2 1 a n d z = − 1 . By substituting the value of u and z in the given equation We get 3 × 8 − 5 7 k + 1 + 5 1 3 k − 9 = 1 8 + 3 2 ⟹ 4 5 6 k − 8 = 2 4 × ( 1 8 + 3 2 ) ⟹ 4 5 6 k − 8 = 4 3 2 + 1 6 ⟹ 4 5 6 k = 4 5 6 ⟹ k = 1 .
