  2. a = 10, d = 10 First term a₁ = a = 10 Second term a₂ = a₁ + d = 10 + 10 = 20 Third term a₃ = a₂ + d = 20 + 10 = 30 Fourth term a₄ = a₃ + d = 30 + 10 = 40

    a = 10, d = 10
    First term a₁ = a = 10
    Second term a₂ = a₁ + d = 10 + 10 = 20
    Third term a₃ = a₂ + d = 20 + 10 = 30

  3. 3x² – 4√3x + 4 = 0 The given equations is of the form ax² + bx + c = 0 in which a = 3, b = -4√3, c = 4 Therefore, D = b² - 4ac = (-4√3)² - 4 × 3 × 4 = 48 - 48 = 0 So, the roots of quadratic equation are real and equal. Hence, x = 4√3±√0/6 = 4√3/6 = 2√3/3 [As x = -b±√b²-4ac] Hence, the roots of the qRead more

    3x² – 4√3x + 4 = 0
    The given equations is of the form ax² + bx + c = 0 in which a = 3, b = -4√3, c = 4
    Therefore, D = b² – 4ac = (-4√3)² – 4 × 3 × 4 = 48 – 48 = 0
    So, the roots of quadratic equation are real and equal.
    Hence, x = 4√3±√0/6 = 4√3/6 = 2√3/3 [As x = -b±√b²-4ac]
    Hence, the roots of the quadratic equation are 2√3/3 and 2√3/3.

  4. kx (x - 2) + 6 = 0 On simplification, we get kx² - 2kx + 6 = 0 For the quadratic equation kx² - 2kx + 6 = 0 we have a = k, b = - 2k, c = 6. Therefore, b² - 4ac = (-2k)² - 4 × k × 6 = 4k² - 24k For equal roots, we have 4k² - 24k = 0 ⇒ 4k (k - 6) = 0 ⇒ 4k = 0 or (k - 6) = 0 ⇒ k = 0 or k = 6 But k ≠ 0,Read more

    kx (x – 2) + 6 = 0
    On simplification, we get kx² – 2kx + 6 = 0
    For the quadratic equation kx² – 2kx + 6 = 0 we have a = k, b = – 2k, c = 6.
    Therefore,
    b² – 4ac = (-2k)² – 4 × k × 6 = 4k² – 24k
    For equal roots, we have 4k² – 24k = 0
    ⇒ 4k (k – 6) = 0
    ⇒ 4k = 0 or (k – 6) = 0
    ⇒ k = 0 or k = 6
    But k ≠ 0, as it doesn’t satisfies the equation kx(x -2) + 6 = 0.
    Hence, k = 6
