For what values of k, the roots of the quadratic equation
(k + 4) x2 + (k + 1)x + 1 = 0 are equal?
A motorboat whose speed in still water is 18 km/h, takes 1 hour more to go 24 km upstream than to return downstream to the same spot. Find the speed of the stream.
let speed of stream = x kmh
Speed of boat in steel water = 18 km
speed of boat in upstream = (18 - x ) km
speed of boat in downstream = (18 + x ) km
Distance = 24 km
