Solution

The question in the image asks for the value of kk such that the graph of the quadratic function f(x)=kx2+kx+1f(x) = kx^2 + kx + 1 touches the x-axis.

For the graph of a quadratic function to touch the x-axis (i.e., to have exactly one solution or root), the discriminant of the quadratic equation must be zero.

The general form of a quadratic equation is:

ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0

where the discriminant Δ\Delta is:

Δ=b24ac\Delta = b^2 - 4ac

If Δ=0\Delta = 0, the quadratic equation has one root, meaning the graph touches the x-axis.

In this case, the quadratic equation is:

f(x)=kx2+kx+1f(x) = kx^2 + kx + 1

So, a=ka = k, b=kb = k, and c=1c = 1.

Now, the discriminant Δ\Delta becomes:

Δ=k24(k)(1)\Delta = k^2 - 4(k)(1)

Simplifying this:

Δ=k24k\Delta = k^2 - 4k

For the graph to touch the x-axis, we set Δ=0\Delta = 0:

k24k=0k^2 - 4k = 0

Factoring the equation:

k(k4)=0k(k - 4) = 0

This gives two solutions:

k=0ork=4k = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad k = 4

Thus, the values of kk for which the graph touches the x-axis are k=0k = 0 or k=4k = 4.

The correct answer is E. 0 atau 4.

Here are 5 related questions for practice:

  1. What is the discriminant and how does it determine the number of roots?
  2. What happens to the graph if the discriminant is positive or negative?
  3. How do you find the roots of a quadratic function when the discriminant is non-zero?
  4. Can the value of kk change the direction of the parabola?
  5. How would you factor the quadratic expression if k=4k = 4?

Tip: When solving quadratic equations, always consider the discriminant to understand how many roots the equation will have.
