उत्तर
`3"x"^2 – 12"x" + (n – 5) = 0`
Here a = 3, b = − 12 and c = n – 5
Given: equation has equal roots
Then D = 0
⟹ `"b"^2 – 4"ac" = 0`
⟹ `[− 12]^2 – 4(3)("n" – 5) = 0`
⟹ 144 – 12n + 60 = 0
⟹ − 12n = − 204
⟹ `"n"=(-204)/-12=17`

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.
