The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( k \) such that the sum and product of the zeroes of the quadratic equation \( ky^2 + 2y + 3k \) are equal. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the coefficients**: The given quadratic equation is \( ky^2 + 2y + 3k \). Here, we can identify the coefficients: - \( a = k \) - \( b = 2 \) - \( c = 3k \) 2. **Use the formulas for sum and product of the zeroes**: The sum of the zeroes \( \alpha + \beta \) of a quadratic equation \( ay^2 + by + c = 0 \) is given by: \[ \text{Sum of zeroes} = -\frac{b}{a} \] The product of the zeroes \( \alpha \beta \) is given by: \[ \text{Product of zeroes} = \frac{c}{a} \] 3. **Substitute the values of \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \)**: Now substituting the values we identified: \[ \text{Sum of zeroes} = -\frac{2}{k} \] \[ \text{Product of zeroes} = \frac{3k}{k} = 3 \] 4. **Set the sum equal to the product**: According to the problem, the sum of the zeroes is equal to the product of the zeroes: \[ -\frac{2}{k} = 3 \] 5. **Solve for \( k \)**: To solve for \( k \), we can cross-multiply: \[ -2 = 3k \] Now, divide both sides by 3: \[ k = -\frac{2}{3} \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( k \) is \( -\frac{2}{3} \).
