Solve the quadratic equation 2x2 + ax − a2 = 0 for x.
Advertisements
उत्तर
We have:
2x2 + ax − a2 = 0
Comparing the given equation with the standard quadratic equation (ax2 + bx + c = 0), we get:
a=2,b=a and c=-a2
Using the quadratic formula ,`x=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac)/(2a))` , We get:
`x=-a+-sqrt(a^2-4xx2xx(-a^2))/(2xx2)`
`=(-a+sqrt(9a^2))4=(-a+3a)/4`
`=>x=(-a+3a)/4=a/2 or x=(-a-3a)/4=-a`
So, the solutions of the given quadratic equation are x=a/2 or x=-a

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.
