QUADRATIC EQUATION

SOLUTIONS – QUADRATIC EQUATION

EXERCISE # 1
1. 6x2 7x + k = 0 have rational roots
D = 49 24k, must be a perfect square
k=1&2
for k = 1, D = 25
for k = 2, D = 1
for no other value of k, D is perfect square
2. x2 m(2x 8) 15 = 0

x2 2mx + 8m 15 = 0
D=0
4m2 4 (8m 15) = 0
m2 8m + 15 = 0
(m 5) (m 3) = 0
m=5&3

3. x2 bx c=0
b c
+ =

a a
then, 2 + 2 = ( + )2 3
b 2 3c b 2 3ac
= 2 =
a a a2
4. ax2 + bx + c = 0
D<0
D = b2 4ac
If b = 0 then a & c must have same sign. b = 0, a > 0, c > 0
q q
5. x2 + px + q = 0, let y

q q q 2 pq
p q 0 q 0
y y y2 y
q2 + pqy + qy2 = 0 y2 + py + q = 0

6. x2 + px + q = 0, = p, =q
+ = p & =q
p+q= p & pq = q q (p 1) = 0
2p = q & p =1 & q=0

P = 0, Hence P = 1, 0
