1. Answer:

   Hi Mate !!!

   Let the roots be a and b

   a = 1/b as given one root is the reciprocal of other

   And we also know that

   product of zeros is equal to

   a × 1 / a = ( k – 4 ) / 4

   =>.

   k -4 = 4

   k = 8

   Hope it helps!!!!!

2. Step-by-step explanation:

   4×2 – 2x + ( k – 4 ) = 0

   8 – 2x = – k + 4

   -2x = – k + 4 – 8

   -2x = – k – 4

   k = – 4 – 2x
