      Question

      If x^2 - 7x + k = 0 has roots that are equal, what is

      the value of k?
      A 12.25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 24.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 49 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      For equal roots, the discriminant must be zero: b^2 - 4ac = 0 → (-7)^2 - 4(1)(k) = 0 49 - 4k = 0 4k = 49 k = 49/4 = 12.25.
