Solution

The given image contains a mathematical expression in Gujarati. Here is the problem, translated and broken down for better understanding:

The problem presents a quadratic polynomial p(x)=6x213x+3m9ip(x) = 6x^2 - 13x + 3m - 9i (where ii likely represents the imaginary unit, i.e., i=1i = \sqrt{-1}).

The question asks: If the roots of the polynomial are real and equal, find the value of mm.

Solution:

For a quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0, the condition for the roots to be real and equal is that the discriminant must be zero. The discriminant Δ\Delta for a quadratic equation ax2+bx+cax^2 + bx + c is given by:

Δ=b24ac\Delta = b^2 - 4ac

For the quadratic equation p(x)=6x213x+(3m9i)p(x) = 6x^2 - 13x + (3m - 9i), comparing it with the general quadratic form ax2+bx+cax^2 + bx + c:

  • a=6a = 6
  • b=13b = -13
  • c=3m9ic = 3m - 9i

To satisfy the condition for equal roots, the discriminant must be zero:

Δ=(13)24(6)(3m9i)=0\Delta = (-13)^2 - 4(6)(3m - 9i) = 0

This simplifies to:

16924(3m9i)=0169 - 24(3m - 9i) = 0

16972m+216i=0169 - 72m + 216i = 0

Equating the real and imaginary parts separately, we get two equations:

  1. For the real part: 16972m=0m=16972169 - 72m = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad m = \frac{169}{72}

  2. For the imaginary part: 216i=0i=0216i = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad i = 0

Thus, the value of mm is 16972\frac{169}{72}.

Here are 5 related questions to explore further:

  1. How do you solve a quadratic equation when the roots are not equal?
  2. What is the significance of the discriminant in a quadratic equation?
  3. How do you handle complex roots in a quadratic equation?
  4. Can the discriminant be negative? If so, what does that indicate about the roots?
  5. How does the value of mm change if the polynomial has real but unequal roots?

Tip: Always check whether the discriminant of a quadratic equation is positive, zero, or negative. This determines whether the roots are real, equal, or complex.
