**Determine the value of \( k \) for which**
\[
\begin{vmatrix}
k & k \\
8 & 4k
\end{vmatrix} = 0
\]

Explanation: The task involves finding the value(s) of \( k \) that would make the determinant of the given 2x2 matrix zero. 

To solve this, apply the determinant formula for a 2x2 matrix:
\[
\text{Determinant} = ad - bc
\]
where \( a, b, c, d \) are elements of the matrix. 

For the given matrix:
\[
\begin{vmatrix}
k & k \\
8 & 4k
\end{vmatrix}
\]

The determinant is calculated as:
\[
k \cdot (4k) - k \cdot 8 = 4k^2 - 8k
\]

Setting the determinant to zero:
\[
4k^2 - 8k = 0
\]

Factor out the common term:
\[
4k(k - 2) = 0
\]

So, the solutions are:
\[
k = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad k = 2
\]

Hence, the values of \( k \) that make the determinant zero are \( k = 0 \) and \( k = 2 \).
