Solution

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
