Solution

To solve this problem, we need to use the properties of the roots of a quadratic equation.

The sum of the roots (α + β) is equal to -b/a, and the product of the roots (αβ) is equal to c/a, where a, b, and c are the coefficients of the quadratic equation.

Given the equation kx² + 4x + 4 = 0, we have:

α + β = -b/a = -4/k αβ = c/a = 4/k

We also know that α² + β² = (α + β)² - 2αβ.

Substituting the values we have:

24 = (-4/k)² - 2*(4/k) 24 = 16/k² - 8/k 24k² = 16k - 8k² 32k² = 16k 2k = 16 k = 8

However, this option is not available in the choices. There might be a mistake in the problem or the choices.
