Question
A quadratic equation with integral coefficient has integral roots. Justify your answer.
Advertisements
Solution
No, a quadratic equation with integral coefficients may or may not have integral roots.
Justification:
Consider the following equation,
8x2 – 2x – 1 = 0
The roots of the given equation are `1/2` and `-1/4` which are not integers.
Hence, a quadratic equation with integral coefficient might or might not have integral roots.
