उत्तर
Given x4 - 26x2 + 25 = 0
Putting x2 = y, the given equation reduces to the form y2 - 26y + 25 = 0
⇒ y2 - 25y - y + 25 = 0
⇒ y(y - 25) -1(y- 25) = 0
⇒ (y - 25) (y - 1) = 0
⇒ y - 25 = 0 or y - 1 = 0
⇒ y = 25 or y = 1
∴ x2 = 25
⇒ x = ± 5
or
x2 = 1
x = ±1
Hence, the required roots are ±5, ±1.

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.
