Question 1: In each of the following cases, let us justify & write whether the given values are the roots of the given quadratic equation:

1. x2+x+1=0

Solution:  f(X) = x2+x+1=0

When x = 1 ;

(1)2+1+1=1+1+1 = 3

Again when x = -1 ;

(-1)2+1(-1)+1=1-1+1 = 1

(1) & (-1) are not the roots of the given equation

2. 8x2+7x=0

Solution: f(X) = 8x2+7x=0

When x = 0

8(0) +7(0) = 0

When x = -2

8(-2)2+7(-2) = 32-14= 18

3. x +1/x =13/6

Solution: When x = \(\frac{5}{6}\)

∴ \(\frac{5}{6}+\frac{1}{5 / 6}=\frac{5}{6}+\frac{6}{5}=\frac{25+36}{30}=\frac{61}{30}\)

∴ \(\frac{4}{3}+\frac{1}{4 / 3}=\frac{4}{3}+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{16+9}{30}=\frac{25}{12}\)

And when x = \(\frac{4}{3}\)

5/6 & 4/3 are not the roots of the given equation.

4. x2– √3x-6=0

Solution: f(X) = x2– √3x-6=0

When x = – √3

(√3)2-√3(-√3)-6=3+3-6 = 0

&  When x = 2√3,

(2√3)2-√3 (2√3)-6=12-6-6 = 0

(√3) & (2√3). are the roots of the given equation.

Question 2:

1. Let us calculate and write the value of k for which 2/3 will be a root the quadratic equation 7x2 + kx – 3=0.

Solution: \(7 x^2+k x-3=0\)

As \(\frac{2}{3}\) is one root of the equation \(7 x^2+k x-3=0\)

∴ \(7\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2+k \cdot \frac{2}{3}-3=0\)

⇒ \(7 \cdot \frac{4}{9}+\frac{k \cdot 2}{3}-3=0\)

⇒ \(\frac{28}{9}+\frac{2 k}{3}-3=0\)

⇒ \(\frac{2 k}{3}=3-\frac{28}{9}\)

⇒ \(\frac{2 k}{3}=\frac{-1}{9}\)

∴ \(k=\frac{-3}{9 \times 2}=-\frac{1}{6}\)

2. Let us calculate and write the value of k for which -a will be a root of the quadratic equation x2 + 3ax + k = 0.

Solution:

Given

x2 + 3ax + k = 0

As (-a) is the root of the equation

x2 + 3ax + k = 0

⇒  (-a)2 + 3a(-a) + k = 0

⇒ +a2-3a2 + k = 0

⇒ -2a2+ k = 0

k =  2a2  Solution

The value of k = 2a2

3. If 2/3 and -3 are the two roots of the quadratic equation ax2 + 7x + b = 0, then Let me calculate the values of a and b.

Solution: When x = \(\frac{2}{3}\)

∴ \(a\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2+7\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)+b=0\)

⇒ \(\frac{4 a}{9}+\frac{14}{3}+b=0\)

⇒ \(\frac{4 a+42+9 b}{9}=0\)

4a + 9b = -42

When x = -3

∴ \(a(-3)^2+7(-3)+b=0\)

9a – 21 + b = 0

9a + b = 21

Now, solving 4a + 9b = -42 & 9a + b = 21

we get, a = 3 & b = -6.

Question 3: Let us solve

1. 3y2-20 = 160 – 2y2

Solution: \(3 y^2-20=160-2 y^2\)

⇒ \(3 y^2+2 y^2=160+20\)

⇒ \(5 y^2=180\)

⇒ \(5 y^2-180=0\)

⇒ \(5\left(y^2-36\right)=0\)

⇒ \(y^2-36=0\)

⇒ \((y)^2-(6)^2=0\)

∴ (y + 6)(y – 6) = 0

∴ When y + 6 = 0 & when y – 6 = 0

Solution: \(\frac{x-2}{x+2}+\frac{6(x-2)}{x-6}=1\)

⇒ \(\frac{(x-2)(x-6)+6(x-2)(x+2)}{(x+2)(x-6)}=1\)

⇒ \(x^2-8 x+12+6\left(x^2-4\right)=(x+2)(x-6)\)

⇒ \(7 x^2-8 x-12=x^2+2 x-6 x-12\)

⇒ \(7 x^2-8 x-12-x^2+4 x+12=0\)

⇒ \(6 x^2-4 x=0\)

⇒ 2x(3x – 2) = 0

Either 2x = 0

∴ x = 0

Or, 3x – 2 = 0

∴ x = 2/3

Question 17. The unit digit of a two-digit number exceeds the tens digit by 6 and the product of two digits is less by 12 than the number, let us write by calculating the possible unit digit of the two-digit number.

Solution: Let in a two digit number the digit in the tenth place is x.

∴ Digit in the unit place is x + 6.

∴ The two digited number is 10x + x + 6.

According to the given problem,

x(x + 6) + 12 = 10x + x + 6

or, \(x^2+6 x+12=11 x+6\)

or, \(x^2+6 x-11 x+12-6=0\)

or, \(x^2-5 x+6=0\)

or, \(x^2-3 x-2 x+6=0\)

or, x(x – 3) – 2(x – 3) = 0

∴ (x – 3)(x – 2) = 0
