If 4x�+5kx+10 is a perfect square, find the value of k.
-----
Note: (a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2
--
Note: The coefficient of the middle term is 2 times the product
of the square roots of the 1st and the 3rd terms.
----------------------
Equation:
5k = 2(2x)(sqrt(10))
---
5k = 4x*sqrt(10)
---
Ans: k = (4/5)x(sqrt(10))
