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.
