Solution
Given equation is, `x^2 + 9sqrt(3)x + 24 = 0`
Comparing the given equation with ax2 + bx + c = 0, we get
a = 1, b = `9sqrt(3)`, c = 24
Discriminant, D = b2 – 4ac
= `(9sqrt(3))^2 - 4(1)(24)`
= 243 – 96
= 147
Here, D > 0.
As a result, the roots of the quadratic equation are both real and unequal.

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.
