Question 1. Let us write the nature of two roots of the following quadratic equations:

1. 2x2 + 7x+3=0

Solution: Here, Discriminant = \(b^2-4 a c\)

= \((7)^2-4.2 \cdot 3\)

= 49 – 24 = 25 > 0

∴ Roots are real & unequal.

2. 3x2-2√6x+2=0

Solution: Discriminant = \(b^2-4 a c\)

= \((-2 \sqrt{6})^2-4.3 .2\)

= 24 – 24 – 0

∴ Roots are real & equal.

Question 2. By calculating, let us write the value/values of k for which each of the following quadratic equations has real and equal roots-

1. 3x2-5x+2k = 0

Solution: As the roots of the equation are real & equal.

∴ b2 – 4ac = 0

i.e., (-5)2 – 4.3.2k = 0

or, 25 – 24k = 0

∴ 24k = 25

∴ k = \(\frac{25}{24}\)

2. 9x2-24x + k = 0

Solution: As the roots of the equation are real & equal.

∴ Discriminant = b2 – 4ac = 0

i.e., (-24)2 – 4.9.k = 0

or, 576 – 36k = 0

∴ 36k = 576

∴ k = \(\frac{576}{36}\) = 16

3. 2x2 + 3x + k=0

Solution: As the roots of the equation are real & equal.

∴ Discriminant = b2 – 4ac = 0

i.e., (3)2 – 4.2.k = 0

or, 9 – 8k = 0

∴ 8k = 9

∴ k = \(\frac{9}{8}\)

4. x2-2 (5+ 2k) x + 3 (7+10k) = 0

Solution: As the roots of the equation are real & equal.

∴ Discriminant, b2 – 4ac = 0

i.e., {-2(5 + 2k)}2 – 4.1.3(7 + 10k) = 0

or, 4(25 + 20k + 4k2) – 12(7 + 10k) = 0

or, 100 + 80k + 16k2 – 84 – 120k = 0

or, 16k2 – 40k + 16 = 0

or, 8(2k2 – 5k + 2) = 0

or, 2k2 – 4k – k + 2 = 0

or, 2k(5k – 2) – 1(k – 2) = 0

or, (k – 2)(2k – 1) = 0

Either k – 2 = 0

∴ k = 2

2k – 1 = 0

∴ k = 1/2

5. (3k+ 1)x2 + 2 (k+1)x + k = 0

Solution: As the roots of the equation are real & equal.

∴ Discriminant b2 – 4ac = 0

i.e., {2(k + 1)}2 – 4.(3k + 1).k = 0

or, 4(k2 + 2k + 1) – 12k2 – 4k = 0

or, 4k2 + 8k + 4 – 12k2 – 4k = 0

or, -8k2 + 4k + 4 = 0

or, -4(2k2 – k – 1) = 0

or, 2k2 – k – 1 = 0

or, 2k2 – 2k + k – 1 = 0

or, 2k(k – 1) + 1(k – 1) = 0

or, (k – 1)(2k + 1) = 0

Either k – 1 = 0

∴ k = 1

2k + 1 = 0

∴ k = -1/2

Question 3. Let us form the quadratic equations from two roots given below-

1. 4, 2

Solution: When roots are 4, 2:1

The required equation: x2 (Sum of the roots) x + product of roots = 0 i.e., x2 – (4+2)x + 4.2 = 0

or, x2-6x+8=0

2.-4, -3

Solution: When roots are -4, -3:

The required equation:- x2 – (Sum of the roots) x + product of the roots = 0

i.e. ; x2(43) x + (-4) (-3)=0

or, x2 + 7x+12=0

3. -4, 3

Solution: When roots are -4, 3:

The required equation: x2 – (Sum of the roots) x + product of the roots = 0

i.e., x2-(-4+3) x + (-4).3 = 0

or, x2 + 1x-12=0

or, x2+x-12=0

4. 5, -3

Solution: When roots are 5, -3:

The required equation: x2 – (Sum of the roots) x + product of the roots = 0

i.e., x2 (5-3) x + 5 (-3)=0

or, x2-2x-15=0

Question 4. If two roots of the quadratic equation (a2+ b2)x2 -2 (ac + bd)x + (c2 + d2) = 0 are equal, then let us prove that, a/c = b/d

Solution: (a2 + b2)x2 – 2(ac + bd)x + (c2 + d2) = 0.

As the roots of the equation are equal.

∴ Discriminant b2 – 4ac = 0

i.e., {-2(ac + bd)}2 – 4(a2 + b2)(c2 + d2) = 0

or, 4(a2c2 + b2d2 + 2abcd) – 4(a2c2 + a2d2 + b2c2 + b2d2) = 0

or, 4a2c2 + 4b2d2 + 8abcd – 4a2c2 – 4a2d2 – 4b2c2 – 4b2d2 = 0

or, 8abcd – 4a2d2 – 4b2c2 = 0

or, -4(a2d2 – 2abdc + b2c2) = 0

or, (ad – bc)2 = 0

∴ ad = bc

∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{b}}=\frac{\mathrm{c}}{\mathrm{d}}\)      proved.

Question 5. Let us prove that the quadratic equation 2(a2 + b2)x2 + 2 (a + b) x + 1 = 0 has no real root if a b.

Solution: 2(a2 + b2)x2 + 2(a + b)x + 1 = 0

As the equation has no real roots.

∴ Discriminant b2 – 4ac < 0

i.e., {2(a + b)}2 – 4.2(a2 + b2).1 < 0

or, 4a2 + 4b2 + 8ab – 8a2 – 8b2 < 0

or, -4a2 – 4b2 + 8ab < 0

or, -4(a2 + b2 – 2ab) < 0

or, a2 + b2 – 2ab > 0

or, (a – b)2 > 0

∴ a – b > 0

i.e., a ≠ b Proved.

Question 6. If two roots of the quadratic equation 5x2+2x-3= 0 are x and ẞ, then let us determine the value of :

Solution: As x and are the roots of the equation 5x2 + 2x – 3 = 0

∵ \(\alpha+\beta=-\frac{2}{5} \text { and } \alpha \beta=-\frac{3}{5}\)

1. α2+ β2

Solution: \((\alpha+\beta)^2-2 \alpha \beta\)

= \(\left(-\frac{2}{5}\right)^{2^{\prime}}-2\left(-\frac{3}{5}\right)^2\)

= \(\frac{4}{25}+\frac{6}{5}=\frac{4+30}{25}=\frac{34}{25}\)

(2) α3 +ẞ3

Solution: \((\alpha+\beta)^3-3 \propto \beta(\alpha+\beta)\)

= \(\left(-\frac{2}{5}\right)^3-3\left(-\frac{3}{5}\right)\left(-\frac{2}{5}\right)\)

= \(-\frac{8}{125}-\frac{18}{25}=\frac{-8-90}{125}=\frac{-98}{125}\)

(3) α2 /B + B2/ α

Solution: \(\frac{\alpha^3+\beta^3}{\alpha \beta}=\left(\frac{-98}{125}\right) \div\left(\frac{-3}{5}\right)\)

= \(\frac{-98}{125} \times\left(\frac{-5}{3}\right)=+\frac{98}{75}\)

Question 7. If one root of the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 is twice of the other, then let us show that 2b2 = 9ac.

Solution: ax2 + bx + c = 0

Let one root is β, then the other root = 2α.

∴ \(\alpha+2 \alpha=-\frac{b}{a}\)

or, \(3 \propto=-\frac{b}{a}\)

or, \(\alpha=-\frac{b}{3 a}\)

Again, \(\alpha .2 \alpha=\frac{\mathrm{c}}{\mathrm{a}}\)

or, \(2 \propto^2=\frac{c}{a}\)

∴ \(2\left(-\frac{b}{3 a}\right)^2=\frac{c}{a}\)

\(\frac{2 b^2}{9 a^2}=\frac{c}{a}\)

∴ 2b2 = 9ac proved.

Question 8. Let us form the equation whose roots are reciprocals to the roots of equation x2 + px + 1 = 0.

Solution: x2 + px + 1 = 0

Let the roots of equation be α and β.

∴ \(\alpha+\beta=\frac{-p}{1}=-p\)

& \(\alpha \beta=\frac{1}{1}=1\)

Now, the roots of the new equation are \(\frac{1}{\alpha} \text { and } \frac{1}{\beta}.\)

∴ Some of the roots = \(\frac{1}{\alpha}+\frac{1}{\beta}=\frac{\alpha+\beta}{\alpha \beta}=\frac{-p}{1}=-p\)

Product of the roots = \(\frac{1}{\alpha} \cdot \frac{1}{\beta}=\frac{1}{\alpha \beta}=\frac{1}{1}=1\)

∴ The required equation is x2 – (sum of the roots)x + product of the roots = 0

or, x2 – (-p)x + 1 = 0 i.e., x2 + px + 1 = 0

Solution: Sum of the roots = \(-\frac{-(12)}{7}=\frac{12}{7}\)

and product of the roots = \(\frac{18}{7}\)

∴ the ratio of sum & product.

Chapter 1 Quadratic Equations In One Variable Exercise 1.5 Short Answers

Question 1. Let us write the quadratic equation if the sum of its roots is 14 and the product of them is 24.

Solution: The sum of the roots. 14 & the product of the roots = 24.

The required equation is x2 – 14x + 24 = 0.

Question 2. If the sum and the product of two roots of the equation kx2 + 2x + 3k = 0 (k = 0) áre equal, let us write the value of k.

Solution: The sum of the roots = –\(\frac{2}{k}\)

and the product of roots = \(\frac{3 k}{k}\) = 3.

∴ –\(\frac{2}{k}\)

or, 3k = -2

∴ k = –\(\frac{2}{3}\)

Question 3. If x and ẞ be the two roots of the equation x2 – 22x + 105= 0, let us write the value of (x – B).

Solution: As α and β are the roots of the equation x2 – 22x + 105 = 0

∴ \(\alpha+\beta=-\left(\frac{-22}{1}\right)=22 \text { and } \alpha \beta=105\)

\((\alpha-\beta)^2=(\alpha+\beta)^2-4 \propto \beta=(22)^2-4 \times 105=484-420=64\)

∴ \((\alpha-\beta)=\sqrt{64}= \pm 8\)

Question 4. If the sum of two roots of the equation x2-x= k (2x-1) is zero, let us write the value of k.

Solution: Given x2 – x = k(2x – 1)

or, x2 – x – 2kx + k = 0

or, x2 – (1 + 2k)x + k = 0

as the sum of the roots = 0

∴ 1 + 2k = 0

∴  k = –\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Question 5. If one of the roots of the two equations x2 + bx+12= 0 and x2 + bx + q = 0 is 2, let us write the value of q.

Solution: As 2 is the common root of the equation x2 + Dx + 12 = 0

i.e., (2)2 + b x 2 + 12 = 0

or, 2b = -16

∴ b – 8

Again, 2 is the root of the 2nd equation x2 + bx + q = 0

∴ (2)2 + (-8) x 2 + q = 0

or, 4 – 16 + q = 0

∴ q = 12.
