The equation is given as:
23−7x=√3k−2x
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:
(23−7x)2=3k−2x
Expanding the left-hand side:
529−322x+49x2=3k−2x
Rearranging terms:
49x2−320x+(529−3k)=0
For the quadratic equation to have exactly one real solution, the discriminant (b2−4ac) must equal zero:
b2−4ac=0
Here, a=49, b=−320, and c=529−3k. Substituting these values into the discriminant:
(−320)2−4(49)(529−3k)=0
Calculate each term:
102400−4(49)(529−3k)=0 102400−103684+588k=0 −1284+588k=0
Solve for k:
588k=1284 k=1284588=10749
Finally, calculate 56k:
56k=56⋅10749=8567
Conclusion: The minimum possible value of 56k is:
Answer: B) 8567
