As we know, if we use the short method, in these types of questions it takes very little time to solve in the examination.
So let us understand the concept.
Quadratic equation: It is a second order polynomial equation with a single variable.
p
Example: ax 2 + bx + c = 0
There will be two values of x which satisfy the given equation.
Sign Method: Now from the exam's point of view, we can conclude the signs of the roots from the signs of the coefficients.
ou
Case I: If b = +ve, c = +ve
Example: ax 2 + bx + c = 0, x1 = –ve, x2 = –ve
Case II: If b = –ve, c = –ve,
then one root will be positive(+) (bigger number) and other root will be negative(–) (smaller number)
Example: ax 2 – bx – c = 0, x1 = +ve, x2 = –ve
Case III: If b = +ve, c = –ve
gr
then one root will be –ve (bigger number)
and other root will be +ve (smaller number)
Example: ax 2 + bx – c = 0, x1 = –ve, x2 = +ve
Case IV: If b = –ve, c = +ve
ax 2 – bx + c = 0
x1 = +ve, x2 = +ve

When we see the equation then we can conclude the signs of the roots, so we can find the relation between x and y.

Now we have the signs of the roots of equation and if we remember the table then we can conclude it within 5 seconds.
Now come to the second part:
Suppose we have the equation:
x 2 – 5x + 6 = 0
ce
From the table we can conclude that both the roots of the equation will be +ve.
Now we have to break the constant (6) such that their sum will be 5.
6 = 3 × 2 also, (3 + 2 = 5)
∴ x1 = +3, x2 = +2
Now if there is a value attached to the x's co-efficient, then we have to divide the value to get the roots.

Sol. (a): We even don't have to calculate the values.
Here signs of roots of first quadratic equation 4 21

and signs of roots of second quadratic equation also, 12 + 7 = 19

Sol. (e): Here x1 = –ve x2 = +ve Sol. (e): I. 4x – 29x + 45 = 0
y1 = +ve, y2 = –ve
Now we can't establish the relation between x and 4 45
y.
