2x2 + 5x - 6 = 0
Advertisements
उत्तर
2x2 + 5x - 6 = 0
b2 - 4ac
= (5)2 - 4(2)(-6)
= 25 + 48
= 73
Since discriminant is positive, hence the roots are real and irrational.

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.
