1. Solve:
(i) (x + 5) (x – 5) = 24
Solution:
Given equation, (x + 5) (x – 5) = 24
x2 – 25 = 24
x2 = 49
Thus,
x = ± 7
(ii) 3x2 – 2√6x + 2 = 0
Solution:
Given equation, 3x2 – 2√6x + 2 = 0
3x2 – √6x – √6x + 2 = 0
√3x(√3x – √2) – √2(√3x – √2) = 0
(√3x – √2) (√3x – √2) = 0
So, √3x – √2 = 0 or √3x – √2 = 0
Therefore,
x = √(2/3), √(2/3) (equal roots)
(iii) 3√2x2 – 5x – √2 = 0
Solution:
Given equation, 3√2x2 – 5x – √2 = 0
3√2x2 – 6x + x – √2 = 0
3√2x(x – √2) + 1(x – √2) = 0
(3√2x + 1) (x – √2) = 0
So, 3√2x + 1 = 0 or x – √2 = 0
Therefore,
x = -1/ 3√2 or x = √2
(iv) 2x – 3 = √(2x2 – 2x + 21)
Solution:
Given equation, 2x – 3 = √(2x2 – 2x + 21)
On squaring on both sides, we have
(2x – 3)2 = 2x2 – 2x + 21
4x2 + 9 – 12x = 2x2 – 2x + 21
2x2 – 10x – 12 = 0
Dividing by 2, we get
x2 – 5x – 6 = 0
x2 – 6x + x – 6 = 0
x(x – 6) + 1(x – 6) = 0
(x + 1) (x – 6) = 0
So, x + 1 = 0 or x – 6 = 0
Thus, we get
x = -1 or x = 6
But, putting x = -1 the L.H.S become negative. And we know that the square root function always gives a positive value.
Therefore,
x = 6 is the only solution.
2. One root of the quadratic equation 8x2 + mx + 15 = 0 is ¾. Find the value of m. Also, find the other root of the equation.Â
Solution:
Given equation, 8x2 + mx + 15 = 0
One of the roots is ¾, and hence it satisfies the given equation
So,
8(3/4)2 + m(3/4) + 15 = 0
8(9/16) + m(3/4) + 15 = 0
18/4 + 3m/4 + 15 = 0
Taking L.C.M, we have
(18 + 3m + 60)/4 = 0
18 + 3m + 60 = 0
3m = – 78
m = -26
Now, putting the value of m in the given equation, we get
8x2 + (-26)x + 15 = 0
8x2 – 26x + 15 = 0
8x2 – 20x – 6x + 15 = 0
4x(2x – 5) – 3(2x – 5) = 0
(4x – 3) (2x – 5) = 0
So, 4x – 3 = 0 or 2x – 5 = 0
Therefore.
x = ¾ or x = 5/2
3. Show that one root of the quadratic equation x2 + (3 – 2a)x – 6a = 0 is -3. Hence, find its other root.
Solution:
Given quadratic equation, x2 + (3 – 2a)x – 6a = 0
Now, putting x = -3 we have
(-3)2 + (3 – 2a)( -3) – 6a = 0
9 – 9 + 6a – 6a = 0
0 = 0
Since, x = -3 satisfies the given equation -3 is one of the root of the quadratic equation.
x2 + (3 – 2a)x – 6a = 0
x2 + 3x – 2ax – 6a = 0
x(x + 3) – 2a(x + 3) = 0
(x – 2a) (x + 3) = 0
So, x – 2a = 0 or x + 3 =0
x = 2a or x = -3
Hence, the other root is 2a.
4. If p – 15 = 0 and 2x2 + px + 25 = 0: find the values of x.
Solution:
Given equations, p – 15 = 0 and 2x2 + px + 25 = 0
Thus, p = 15
Now, using p in the quadratic equation, we get
2x2 + (15)x + 25 = 0
2x2 + 10x + 5x + 25 = 0
2x(x + 5) + 5(x + 5) = 0
(2x + 5) (x + 5) = 0
So, 2x + 5 = 0 or x + 5 = 0
Hence,
x = -5/2 or x = -5
5. Find the solution of the quadratic equation 2x2 – mx – 25n = 0; if m + 5 = 0 and n – 1 = 0.
Solution:
Given,
m + 5 = 0 and n – 1 = 0
so,
m = -5 and n = 1
Now, putting these values in the given quadratic equation 2x2 – mx – 25n = 0, we get
2x2 – (-5)x – 25(1) = 0
2x2 + 5x – 25 = 0
2x2 + 10x – 5x – 25 = 0
2x(x + 5) -5(x + 5) = 0
(2x – 5) (x + 5) = 0
So, 2x – 5 = 0 or x + 5 = 0
Hence,
x = 5/2 or x = -5
6. If m and n are roots of the equation: 1/x – 1/(x-2) = 3: where x ≠0 and x ≠2; find m x n.
Solution:
Given equation, 1/x – 1/(x-2) = 3
(x – 2 – x)/ (x(x – 2)) = 3
-2 = 3(x2 – 2x)
3x2 – 6x + 2 = 0
Solving by using quadratic formula, we get
And, since m and n are roots of the equation, we have
m = (√3 + 1)/ √3 n = (√3 – 1)/ √3
So,
m x n = (√3 + 1)/ √3 x (√3 – 1)/ √3 = [(√3)2 – 1]/ (√3)2
Thus,
m x n = 2/3
