उत्तर
The given quadric equation is 2x2 − 5x − k = 0, and roots are real
Then find the value of k.
Here,
a = 2
b = −5
c = k
As we know that D = b2 − 4ac
Putting the value of a = 2, b = −5 and c = k
= (−5)2 − 4 × (2) × (−k)
= 25 + 8k
The given equation will have real roots, if D ≥ 0
25 + 8k ≥ 0
8k ≥ −25
k ≥ `−25/8`
Therefore, the value of k ≥ `−25/8`

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.
