Question
Solve the following quadratic equation using formula method only
`2x^2 - 2 . sqrt 6x + 3 = 0`
Advertisements
Solution
`2x^2 - 2 . sqrt 6x + 3 = 0`
a = 2 ; b = `-2 sqrt 6` ; c =3
D = `"b"^2 - 4 "ac"`
`= (- 2 sqrt 6)^2 - 4(2)(3)`
= 24 - 24
= 0
x = `(- "b" ± sqrt ("b"^2 - 4 "ac"))/(2a)`
x = `(-(- 2 sqrt 6) +- 0)/(2 xx 2)`
x = `sqrt 6/2`

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.
