We are given the equation
4x^2+44x+m=0.
We'll use the relation that for an equation
ax^2 + bx +c = 0
The roots are given by : [-b
+sqrt(b^2-4ac)] / 2a and [-b - sqrt(b^2-4ac)]
Now as the
roots are equal it implies that sqrt(b^2-4ac) = 0
we have a
= 4 , b = 44 and c =m
substituting we
get
sqrt [ 44^2 - 4*4*m]
=0
=> 44^2 - 4*4*m
=0
=> 44^2 = 16
m
=> m = 44^2 /
16
=> m =
121
Therefore the value of m for the equation
having equal roots is 121.
[ We can see
that the root of the equation 4x^2 + 44x + 121 =0 is only -5.5 ]
