Discuss the nature of the roots of the following equation: `x^2 - (1)/(2)x - 4` = 0
Advertisements
उत्तर
`x^2 - (1)/(2)x - 4` = 0
Here a = 1, b = `(1)/(2)`, c = –4
∴ D = b2 – 4ac
= `(1/2)^2 - 4 xx 1 xx (-4)`
= `(1)/(4) + 16`
= `(65)/(4)`
∵ D > 0
∴ Roots are real and distinct.

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.
