If 4x²+5kx+10 is a perfect square, find the value of k. \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "Note: (a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2 \n" ); document.write( "-- \n" ); document.write( "Note: The coefficient of the middle term is 2 times the product \n" ); document.write( "of the square roots of the 1st and the 3rd terms. \n" ); document.write( "---------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Equation: \n" ); document.write( "5k = 2(2x)(sqrt(10)) \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "5k = 4x*sqrt(10) \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Ans: k = (4/5)x(sqrt(10)) \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "- \n" ); document.write( " |
