4x2 - 8x + 5 = 0
Advertisements
उत्तर
4x2 - 8x + 5 = 0
b2 - 4ac
= (-8)2 - 4( 4)(5)
= 64 - 100
= - 36
Since discriminant is negative, hence the roots are imaginary.

Complete the following activity to determine the nature of the roots of the quadratic equation x2 + 2x – 9 = 0 :
Solution :
Compare x2 + 2x – 9 = 0 with ax2 + bx + c = 0
a = 1, b = 2, c = `square`
∴ b2 – 4ac = (2)2 – 4 × `square` × `square`
Δ = 4 + `square` = 40
∴ b2 – 4ac > 0
∴ The roots of the equation are real and unequal.
