k^2-5*k+6=0 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
This equation is of the form
a*k^2 + b*k + c = 0
A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$k_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$k_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 1$$
$$b = -5$$
$$c = 6$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c =
(-5)^2 - 4 * (1) * (6) = 1
Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
k1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
k2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
or
$$k_{1} = 3$$
$$k_{2} = 2$$
Vieta's Theorem
it is reduced quadratic equation
$$k^{2} + k p + q = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = -5$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = 6$$
Vieta Formulas
$$k_{1} + k_{2} = - p$$
$$k_{1} k_{2} = q$$
$$k_{1} + k_{2} = 5$$
$$k_{1} k_{2} = 6$$
