1. has (1)
a. no real roots
b. 1 real root
c. 2 real roots
d. 4 real roots
7. Find the values of p for which the quadratic equation 4x2 + px + 3 = 0 has equal roots.
(1)
11. Find the values of k for which the given equation has real and equal roots: (k + 1)x2 -
2(k - 1)x + 1 = 0 (2)
12. Check, whether the quadratic equation have real roots and if so, then find the roots of
15. If 2 is a root of the quadratic equation 3x2 + px - 8 = 0 and the quadratic equation 4x2-
2px + k = 0 has equal roots, find k. (3)
16. If p, q, r and s are real numbers such that pr = 2(q + s), then show that at least one of
Solution
1. b. 1 real root
Explanation: Given:
ax2 + bx + c = 0
a = 9, b = 12, c = 4
D = b2 - 4ac
D = 122 - 4 9 4
D = 144 - 144
D = 0
3. a. ad = bc
Explanation If the equation has
(ad-bc)2 =0
= 2 : 3
5. a. 3
Explanation: In quadratic equation ,
And
= 3
6. We have,
or,
x = 3 or, x = -3 x = ± 3
Thus, x = 3 and x = - 3 are roots of the given equation.
7.
and
As the equation has equal roots
or,
or,
or,
or,
x2 + 3x - 4x - 12 = 0
x2 - x - 12 = 0
This is the required quadratic equation
9. we have,
put, x = (given)
3( )2 + ( )
3( ) - k + 3 = 0
- k +3 = 0
D = 0 4 (k2 - 3k) = 0 k2 - 3k = 0 k (k - 3) = 0 k = 0, 3
D = b2 - 4ac = 1 - 4 6 -2 = 49 > 0
So, the given equation has real roots, given by
and,
2x2 + x - 6x - 3 = x2 + 5x
2x2 - 5x - 3 = x2 + 5x
x2 - 10x - 3 = 0
⇒ x = 13, 12
Therefore, Shefali's marks in Mathematics = 13 or 12
Shefali's marks in English = 30 – x = 30 – 13 = 17
Or Shefali's marks in English = 30 – x = 30 – 12 = 18
Therefore, her marks in Mathematics and English are (13, 17) or (12, 18).
or,
or, 16-16k=0
or, 16k=16
k=1
x2 + px + q = 0 —(i)
and, x2 + rx + s = 0 ......(ii)
Also given ; pr = 2(q + s)........(iii)
Let D1 and D2 be the discriminant of quadratic equations (i) and (ii) respectively.
Then,
D1 = p2 - 4q and D2 = r2 - 4s
negative.
At least one of D1and D2 is greater than or equal to zero
Case 3. If D1 & D2 both ≥ 0, then equation (i) & (ii) both have equal roots.
Clearly, from case 1,2 & 3 at least one given quadratic equations has equal roots.
17. Given, speed of boat in still water = 8 Km/hr. Let the speed of the stream be x km/hr.
Then,
Speed of boat in downstream = (8 + x) km/hr
Speed of boat in upstream = (8 - x) km/hr
5x2 - 7x - 24 = 0
5x2 - 15x + 8x - 24 = 0
5x(x - 3) + 8(x - 3) = 0
(5x + 8)(x- 3) = 0
x - 3 = 0 [ Speed can not be negative 5x + 8 0]
x = 3
Hence, the speed of the stream is 3 km/hr.
y = - or y = 3
Putting the value of y in equation (i), we get
= - or = 3
or x + 2 = 6x - 9
8x = 5 or -5x = -11
x = or x =
