EXERCISE:-4.4

 QUE:-1. Find the nature of the roots of the following quadratic equations. If the real roots exist,
                find them:      

                (i) 2x²– 3x + 5 = 0                  ii) 3x² – 4√3 x + 4 = 0

               (iii) 2x² – 6x + 3 = 0

 SOL:-

  A quadratic equation ax²+ bx + c = 0 has
⇒ two distinct real roots, if b² – 4ac > 0,
⇒ two equal roots (i.e., coincident roots), if b² – 4ac = 0, and
⇒ no real roots, if b² – 4ac < 0.

  (i) 2x²– 3x + 5 = 0  

compairing with ax²+ bx + c = 0

a =2  , b= -3  , c = 5

b² – 4ac  =  -3² – 4×2 ×5

= 9 -80 =-31 < 0.

therefore the quadratic equation has no real roots.

(ii) 3x² – 4√3 x + 4 = 0

compairing with ax²+ bx + c = 0

a =3 , b= -4√3  , c = 4

b² – 4ac = (-4√3)² – 4×3×4

= 48 -48 =0

if b² – 4ac = 0 then quadratic equation have two equal roots.

the roots are -b/2a and -b/2a

-(-4√3) /2 ×3 =2/√3

therefore roots are 2/√3 and 2/√3 .

(iii) 2x² – 6x + 3 = 0

compairing with ax²+ bx + c = 0

a =2 , b= -6  , c = 3

b² – 4ac = (-6)² – 4×2×3

= 36 -24 =12 > 0,

if b² – 4ac > 0,then quadratic equation has two distinct real roots

x= (-b ±√b² -4ac)/2a

=  (-(-6) ±√(-6)² – 4×2×3)/2 ×2

=  (6 ± √ 36 -24 )/4

=  2(3 ± √3)/4 =(3 ± √3)/2

so roots are (3 + √3)/2 and (3 – √3)/2

QUE:- 2. Find the values of k for each of the following quadratic equations, so that they have two
      equal roots.
     (i) 2x² + kx + 3 = 0      (ii) kx (x – 2) + 6 = 0

SOL:-

    (i) 2x² + kx + 3 = 0 

⇒ two equal roots (i.e., coincident roots),  b² – 4ac = 0,

compairing with ax²+ bx + c = 0

a =2  , b= k   , c = 3

k² – 4×2×3 = 0

k² – 24 =0

k² =24

k =±√24 = ±2√6

(ii) kx (x – 2) + 6 = 0 

kx² -2kx +6 = 0

⇒ two equal roots (i.e., coincident roots),  b² – 4ac = 0,

compairing with ax²+ bx + c = 0

a =k  , b= 2k   , c = 6

4k² – 4k×6 = 0

4k² – 24k = 0

4k(k -6) =0

roots are k=0 or k=6

so k = 6

QUE:-3. Is it possible to design a rectangular mango grove whose length is twice its breadth,
        and the area is 800 m²? If so, find its length and breadth.

SOL:-

let the length of the rectangular mango grove is x

according to the question breadth of it 2x

given that x × 2x =800

2x² =800

x² =800/2=400

x² -400=0

⇒ ⇒ two distinct real roots, if b² – 4ac > 0,

compairing with ax²+ bx + c = 0

a =1 , b= 0   , c = -400

b² – 4ac = 0 – 4 ×1 × (-400)

= 1600

b² – 4ac > 0

∴  x =±20

length never negetive for a rectangular surface x =20

breadth is 2x = 2×20=40

QUE:-4. Is the following situation possible? If so, determine their present ages.The sum of the ages of two friends is                 20 years. Four years ago, the product of their ages in years was 48.

SOL:-

let the age of first friend is x

according to question second friend ‘s age 20-x

age 4 year ago 1st friend x-4

and 2nd friend’s age 20-x-4 =16-x

as given in question

(x-4)(16-x)=48

16x -x² -64 +4x =48

-x² +20x -112 =0

compairing with ax²+ bx + c = 0

a =-1 , b= 20   , c = -112

b² – 4ac = 20² – 4(-1)(-112)

= 400 -448=-48

no real roots for the given situation,because  b² – 4ac < 0.

QUE:-5. Is it possible to design a rectangular park of perimeter 80 m and area 400 m²? If so, find
             its length and breadth.

  SOL:-

let the lenghth of the park is l

and breadth of the park is b

according to question area of park is l×b =400

b =400/l

perimeter of park 2(l +b) =80

l+b =80/2

l + 400/l =40

l² +400=40l

l² +400 -40l=0

compairing with ax²+ bx + c = 0

a = 1  , b = -40 c =400

b² – 4ac = -40² – 4×1×400

= 1600-1600

=0

⇒ two equal roots (i.e., coincident roots), if b² – 4ac = 0,

l= (-b ±√b² -4ac)/2a

= (-(-40) ±√(-40)² -4×1×400)/2×1

= (40 ±√1600-1600)/2

=  40/2=20

l =20

b =400/20 =20

length of park is 20 meter

breadth of park is 20 meter

  In this chapter, we have studied about the following points:
1. A quadratic equation in the variable x is of the form ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b, c are real
numbers and a ¹ 0.
2. A real number a is said to be a root of the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0, if
aα² + bα + c = 0. The zeroes of the quadratic polynomial ax² + bx + c and the roots of the
quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0 are the same.
3. If we can factorise ax² + bx + c, a≠ 0, into a product of two linear factors, then the roots
of the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0 can be found by equating each factor to zero.
4. A quadratic equation can also be solved by the method of completing the square.
5. Quadratic formula: The roots of a quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0 are given by
(-b ±√b² -4ac)/2a  provided b² – 4ac ≥ 0.
6. A quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0 has
(i) two distinct real roots, if b² – 4ac > 0,
(ii) two equal roots (i.e., coincident roots), if b² – 4ac = 0, and
(iii) no real roots, if b² – 4ac < 0.
