Solution

The equation is given as:

237x=3k2x

In the given equation, k is a constant. The equation has exactly one real solution. We are tasked with finding the minimum possible value of 56k.

Solution:

Square both sides of the equation to eliminate the square root:

(237x)2=3k2x

Expanding the left-hand side:

529322x+49x2=3k2x

Rearranging terms:

49x2320x+(5293k)=0

For the quadratic equation to have exactly one real solution, the discriminant (b24ac) must equal zero:

b24ac=0

Here, a=49, b=320, and c=5293k. Substituting these values into the discriminant:

(320)24(49)(5293k)=0

Calculate each term:

1024004(49)(5293k)=0 102400103684+588k=0 1284+588k=0

Solve for k:

588k=1284 k=1284588=10749

Finally, calculate 56k:

56k=5610749=8567

Conclusion: The minimum possible value of 56k is:

Answer: B) 8567
