 1 Quadratic Equations

n
important Terms, Definitions and Formulae

ha
 The polynomial of degree two is called quadratic polynomial and equation corresponding to a
quadratic polynomial P(x) is called a quadratic equation in variable x.
Thus, P(x) = ax2 + bx + c = 0, a ≠ 0, a, b, c ∈ R is known as the standard form of quadratic
equation.

as
 Roots/solutions of a quadratic equation: The values of x that satisfy an equation are called the
solution or roots of the equation.

ak
A real number m is said to be a solution/root of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, if
am2 + bm + c = 0.
 The graph of a quadratic equation is parabolic in shape.

Pr
 Methods of solving a quadratic equation:
A quadratic equation of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0, can be solved by any of the following methods:
(a) Factorization : Splitting the middle term method.
(i) Form the product “ac”.
s
(ii) Find a pair of numbers b1 and b2 whose product is “ac” and whose sum is “b” (if you
r
can’t find such number, it can’t be factorized).
he

(iii) Split the middle term using b1 and b2, that expresses the term bx as b1x and b2x.
Now factor by grouping the pairs of terms.
(iv) Roots of the quadratic equation can be found by equating each linear factor to zero. Since
product of two numbers is zero, so either or both of them are zero.
ot

e can calculate the roots by using x = b  b  4ac
(b) Quadratic Formula: W
2a
Br

 The expression b2
− 4ac is called the discriminant of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0. It
is denoted by D.
 Nature of Roots
(i) If D = b2 − 4ac > 0, then the roots are real and distinct.
al

(ii) If D = b2 − 4ac = 0, the roots are real and equal or coincident.

(iii) If D = b2 − 4ac < 0, the roots are not real (imaginary roots).
oy

 If α and β are two roots of an equation then the required quadratic equation can be formed as
x2 − (sum of roots) x + (product of roots) = 0 or x2 − (α + β) x + αβ = 0
 Let α and β be two roots of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, then

Sum of Roots = (– the coefficient of x) / (the coefficient of x2) ⇒ α + β =

2. Find the nature of roots of the quadratic equation 4x2 + 4 3 x + 3 = 0.
Sol. Given equation is 4x2 + 4 3 x + 3 = 0
Comparing it with ax2 + bx + c = 0

as
a = 4, b = 4 3 , c = 3
D = b2 – 4 ac = (4 3 )2 – 4 (4) (3) = 48 – 48 = 0
As D = 0, the equation has real and equal roots.
3. If a and b are the roots of ax2 – bx + c = 0, (a ≠ 0), then find the value of a + b.

5. Is there any real value of 'k' for which the equation x2 + 2x + (k2 + 1) = 0 has real roots?
Sol. Given equation, x2 + 2x + (k2 + 1) = 0
For real roots D = b2 – 4ac > 0
ot

Here, a = 1, b = 2, c = k2 + 1
\ D = (2)2 – 4(1) (k2 + 1) > 0
⇒ 4 – 4k2 – 4 > 0
Br

⇒ – 4k2 > 0, which is not possible for any real value of k.

So, no real value of k exists for which the given equation has real roots.
6. Is x2 – 5 x + 7 = 0 a quadratic equation? Justify your answer.
al

Sol. No, because x2 – 5 x + 7 is not a quadratic polynomial, as it contains a term involving x1/2,

of p.
Sol. Given, px2 – 2 5 px + 15 = 0
Here, a = p, b = –2 5 p and c = 15
al

For real and equal roots, D = 0 or b2 – 4ac = 0

⇒ (−2 5 p ) 2 – 4(p) (15) = 0 ⇒ 20 p2 – 60p = 0

Sol. Let one number be x, then the other number is (x + 3).
G

ATQ, x(x + 3) = 504

⇒ x2 + 3x – 504 = 0 ⇒ x2 + 24x – 21x – 504 = 0 ⇒ x(x + 24) – 21(x + 24) = 0
⇒ (x – 21) (x + 24) = 0 ⇒ x = –24 or x = 21, x cannot be negative
∴ x = 21 and x + 3 = 24.

ages.
Sol. Let the age of father be x.

Then age of son will be 35 – x

ha
ATQ, x(35 – x) = 150
⇒ 35x – x2 = 150 ⇒ x2 – 35x + 150 = 0
⇒ x2 – 30x – 5x + 150 = 0 ⇒ x(x – 30) – 5(x – 30) = 0
⇒ (x – 5) (x – 30) = 0 ⇒ x = 5 or x = 30

as
x = 5 will be rejected as 35 – x = 30 cannot be age of son.
x = 30
Hence, age of father is 30 years and the age of son = 35 – x = 5 years.

1. a = 6, d = 9 – 6 = 3 ; a25 = 6 + 24(3) = 78 [1]
a15 = 6 + 14(3) = 48 ;

n
So, a 25 – a15 = 78 – 48 = 30.

OR
a7 = 0 + 6d, a5 = a + 4d
[1]
So, 7(a + 6d) = 5(a + 4d) [1]

as
⇒ 2a + 22d = 0 ⇒ a + 11d = 0 ⇒ a12 = 0.

2. mx(5x – 6) + 9 = 0 ⇒ 5mx2 – 6mx + 9 = 0
b2 – 4ac = 0 ⇒ (– 6 m)2 – 4(5 m) (9) = 0 [1]

⇒ 36 m (m – 5) = 0
⇒ m = 0, 5 ; rejecting m = 0, we get m = 5 [1]

6. Let the present age of Ritu be x years.

So, (x – 5)2 = 5x + 11 ⇒ x2 + 25 – 10x = 5x + 1 [1]

x = 14 years (rejecting x = 1 as in that case Ritu’s age 5 years ago will be –ve) [½]
