To find the value of \( k \) so that the equation \( 2x^2 - 5x + k = 0 \) has two equal roots, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the condition for equal roots A quadratic equation has two equal roots when its discriminant is equal to zero. The discriminant \( D \) for a quadratic equation of the form \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \) is given by: \[ D = b^2 - 4ac \] ...
