EXERCISE -4.2

     QUE:-1. Find the roots of the following quadratic equations by factorisation:
                      (i) x² -3x-10=0      (ii) 2x² +x -6 =0

                     (iii)√2x² +7x +5√2   (iv) 2x² -x +1/8=0

                     (v) 100x² -20x +1=0

          SOL:-

(i) x² -3x-10=0 

= x² -5x +2x -10

= x(x-5) +2(x-5)

=  (x-5)(x+2)

roots of the quadratic equation is (x-5)(x+2)=0

x-5 =0 ; x=5

x+2=0 ; x=-2

(ii) 2x² +x -6 =0

= 2x² -3x -4x -6

= x (2x -3) +2(2x-3)

=  (2x-3)(x-2)

roots of the quadratic equation is (2x-3)(x+2)=0

x=3/2 and x=-2

(iii)√2x² +7x +5√2 =0

=√2x² +5x +2 +5√2

= x(√2x +5) +√2(√2x+5)

= (√2x +5) (x+√2)

roots of the quadratic equation is (√2x +5) (x+√2)=0

x=-5/√2 ; x=-√2

(iv) 2x² -x +1/8=0

=8/8(2x² -x +1/8)

= 1/8(16x² -8x +1)

= 1/8(4x(4x -1)-1(4x-1))

=1/8 (4x -1)(4x -1)

roots of the quadratic equation is 1/8 (4x -1)(4x -1)=0

x=1/4 ;x=1/4

(v) 100x² -20x +1=0

100x² -10x -10x +1 =0

=10x(10x -1)-1(10x-1)

= (10x-1) (10x -1)

roots of the quadratic equation is (10x-1) (10x -1)=0

x =1/10 ;x =1/10

QUE:-2. Solve the problems given in Example 1.

         (i) John and Jivanti together have 45 marbles. Both of them lost 5 marbles each, and
            the product of the number of marbles they now have is 124. We would like to find
           out how many marbles they had to start with.
       (ii) A cottage industry produces a certain number of toys in a day. The cost of
          production of each toy (in rupees) was found to be 55 minus the number of toys
          produced in a day. On a particular day, the total cost of production was
      ` 750. We would like to find out the number of toys produced on that day.

SOL:-

(i) Let the number of johns marbles be x.

Therefore ,number of jivantis marble=45 – x

after losing 5 marbles

number of john’s marbles =x-5

and number of jaynti’s marbles = 45-x-5 =40-x

according to the question

product of their marbles is 124

therefore( x-5)(40-x)=124

x² -45x +324=0

x² -36x-9x +324=0

x(x-36) -9(x -36)=0

(x-36)(x-9) =0

x =36 ;x=9

if the number marble have john =9

then jivantis marbles =45 -9=36

if john have =36 marbles

then jivanti ‘s marbles =45-36=9

(ii)   let the number of toys produce =x

cost of each toy =55-x

total production of toys =750

x (55-x) =750

55x -x² =750

x² -55x +750=0

x²-25x -30x +750

x (x-25) -30(x-25)=0

(x-25)(x-30)=0

x-25 =0 ; x=25

or x-30=0 ; x=30

so the number of toys either 25 or 30.

QUE:-3. Find two numbers whose sum is 27 and product is 182.

  SOL:-

let the the frist number is x and the second number is 27-x

according to the question

product of number x(27-x) =182

27x -x² -182 =0

x² -27x +182 =0

x² – 13x +14x +182 =0

x(x -13) -14(x -13) =0

(x-13)(x-14) =0

x -13 =0 ; x=13

x-14=0 ; x=14

QUE:-4. Find two consecutive positive integers, sum of whose squares is 365.

SOL:-

let the first number is x and second number x+1

according to the question

x² +(x+1)² =365

x² +x² +2x +1 =365

2x² +2x +1 -365 =0

2x²+2x -364 =0

x² +x -182 =0

x² +14x -13x -182 =0

x(x+14) -13 (x+14) =0

(x+14)(x-13) =0

(x+14) =0 ;x=-14

x-13 =0 ; x=13

so the numbers are 13 and 14

QUE:-5. The altitude of a right triangle is 7 cm less than its base. If the hypotenuse is 13 cm, find
            the other two sides.

SOL:-

let the base of right angel triangle x

according to the quetion altitude is x -7

by pythagoras theorem

x² + ( x -7)² =13²

x ² + x² +49 -14x =169

2x² -14x -120=0

x ² -7x +60 =0

x² -12x +5x -60=0

x(x -12) -5(x-12)=0

(x-12)(x-5)=0

x-12 =0

x=12

so base of triangle is 12 and altitude of triangle is 12-7 =5

QUE:-6. A cottage industry produces a certain number of pottery articles in a day. It was observed
            on a particular day that the cost of production of each article (in rupees) was 3 more than
           twice the number of articles produced on that day. If the total cost of production on that
             day was ` 90, find the number of articles produced and the cost of each article. 

SOL:-

let the article produce is x

cost of article produced =2x +3

∴  x (2x +3) =90

2x² +3x -90 =0

2x² +15x -12x -90 =0

x (2x +15) -6(2x +15) =0

(2x +15)(x-6) =0

(2x +15) =0

x =-15/2

(x-6) =0

x=6

so the numer of article produce is 6

cost of each article is 2×15+3 =15
