उत्तर
Given equation is x2 − 5x − 10 = 0
On comparing with ax2 + bx + c = 0
a = 1, b = −5, c = −10
∵ x = `(-b ± sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/(2a)`
∴ x = `(5 ± sqrt(25 + 40))/(2)`
x = `(5 ± sqrt(65))/(2)`
= `(5 ± 8·06)/(2)`
x = `(5 + 8·06)/(2)`
= `(13·06)/(2)`
= 6·53
and x = `(5 - 8·06)/(2)`
= `(-3·06)/(2)`
= −1·53
x = 6·53, x = −1·53

Solve the following quadratic equation by factorisation.
`sqrt2 x^2 + 7x + 5sqrt2 = 0` to solve this quadratic equation by factorisation, complete the following activity.
`sqrt2 x^2 + 7x + 5sqrt2 = 0`
`sqrt2x^2+square+square+5sqrt2=0`
`x("______") + sqrt2 ("______") = 0`
`("______") (x + sqrt2) = 0`
`("______") = 0 or (x + sqrt2) = 0`
∴ x = `square or x = -sqrt2`
∴ `square` and `-sqrt(2)` are roots of the equation.
