Question
Find the values of k so that the sum of tire roots of the quadratic equation is equal to the product of the roots in each of the following:
2x2 - (3k + 1)x - k + 7 = 0.

Solution
2x2 - (3k + 1)x - k + 7 = 0
Here,
a= 2,
b = -(3k + 1)
c = -k + 7
Sum of roots = `(-b)/a`
= `(3k + 1)/(2)`
Product of roots = `c/a`
= `(-k + 7)/(2)`
Sum of roots = Product of roots
`(3k + 1)/(2) = (-k + 7)/(2)`
6k + 2 = -2k + 14
8k = 12,
⇒ k = `(12)/(8)`
∴ k = `(3)/(2)`.

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.
