2y = 2x + 29 is a tangent to the quadratic x^(2) - 2ky + 32k = 0, where k is a non-zero constant. Find the value of k and determine where the quadratic crosses the y-axis.
Added by Kevin H.
Step 1
Divide the entire equation by 2 to get: \[ y = x + \frac{29}{2} \] Here, the slope \(m = 1\) and the y-intercept \(c = \frac{29}{2}\). Show more…
