1.
Here a = 3, b = - 2 and \(c=\frac{1}{3} \text { . }\)
Therefore, discriminant b2 - 4ac = (-2)2 - 4 x 3 x \(\frac{1}{3}\) = 4 - 4 = 0.
Hence, the given quadratic equation has two equal real roots.
The roots are \(\frac{-b}{2 a}, \frac{-b}{2 a}, \text { i.e., } \frac{2}{6}, \frac{2}{6}, \text { i.e., } \frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{3} .\)
2.
(x+1)2=2(x-3)
x2+2x+1=2x-6
x2+2x-2x+1+6=0
x2+7=0
Which is of the form ax2+bx+c=0. Hence the given equation is a quadratic equation.
3.
Let the quadratic polynomial be ax2 + bx + c, and its zeroes be α and ß
Given \(\alpha+B=4=-\frac{b}{a}\)
\(\alpha \beta=1=\frac{c}{a}\)
If a = 1, then b = -4, c = 1
Therefore, the quadratic polynomial is x2 – 4x +1.
4.
Let the quadratic polynomial be ax2 + bx + c, and its zeroes be α and ß
Given \(\alpha+\beta=-\frac{b}{a}=1\)
\(\alpha \beta=\frac{c}{a}=1\)
If a = 1, b = -1, and c = 1
Therefore, the quadratic polynomial is x2 – x +1.
5.
Let the polynomial be ax2 + bx + c, and its zeroes be α and ß
Given \(\alpha+\beta=\sqrt{2}=\frac{-b}{a}\)
\(\alpha \beta=\frac{1}{3}=\frac{c}{a}\)
If a = 3, then \(b=\sqrt{2}\) and c = 1/3
Therefore, the quadratic polynomial is \(3 x^{2}-3 \sqrt{2} x+1\).
6.
We have
x2 + 7x + 10 = (x + 2)(x + 5)
So, the value of x2 + 7x + 10 is zero when x + 2 = 0 or x + 5 = 0, i.e., when x = – 2 or x = –5. Therefore, the zeroes of x2 + 7x + 10 are – 2 and – 5. Now,
sum of zeroes = \(-2+(-5)=-(7)=\frac{-(7)}{1}=\frac{-(\text { Coefficient of } x)}{\text { Coefficient of } x^{2}}\)
product of zeroes = \((-2) \times(-5)=10=\frac{10}{1}=\frac{\text { Constant term }}{\text { Coefficient of } x^{2}}\)
7.

(ii) The number of zeroes is 2 as the graph intersects the x-axis at two points.
(iii) The number of zeroes is 3. (Why?)
(iv) The number of zeroes is 1. (Why?)
(v) The number of zeroes is 1. (Why?)
(vi) The number of zeroes is 4. (Why?)
8.
\(\sqrt { 2x^{ 2 } } +7x+5\sqrt { 2 } =0\)
\(\Rightarrow \sqrt { 2 } x^{ 2 }+2x+5x+5\sqrt { 2 } =0\)
\(\Rightarrow \sqrt { 2x } (x+\sqrt { 2 } )+5(x+\sqrt { 2 } )=0\)
\(\Rightarrow (x+\sqrt { 2 } )(\sqrt { 2x } +5)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow \) Either \(x+\sqrt { 2 } =0\) or \(\sqrt { 2x } +5=0\)
\(\Rightarrow x=\sqrt { 2 } \) or \(x=-\frac { 5 }{ \sqrt { 2 } } \)
9.
Here, the perimeter of a right triangle= 60 cm
Length of the hypotenuse = 25 cm
Let the base of the right triangle be x cm
\(\therefore \) Perpendicular of the right triangle = 60 - 25 -x
= (35 - x) cm
By using Pythagoras Theorem, we have
x2+(35-x)2= (25)2
\(\Rightarrow x^{ 2 }+(35-x)^{ 2 }=(25)^{ 2 }\)
\(\Rightarrow x^{ 2 }+1225+x^{ 2 }-70x=625\)
\(\Rightarrow 2x^{ 2 }-70x+600=0\)
or x2-35x+300=0
x2-15x-20x+300=0
\(\Rightarrow x(x-15)-20x(x-15)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow (x-15)(x-20)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow x=15\) or x=20
When x = 15, Base = 15 cm, Altitude = 35 - 15 = 20 cm
When x = 20, Base = 20 cm Altitude 15 cm
Now, area of the right triangle
\(=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \)x Base x altitude
\(=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) x15x20 or \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) x20x15
= 150 cm2

For coincident roots,D=0
\(\Rightarrow \) [-(2+m)]2-4X1(-m2-4m-4)=0
\(\Rightarrow \) (2+m)2+4(m2+4m+4)=0
\(\Rightarrow \) (2+m)2+4(m+2)2=0
\(\Rightarrow \) 5(2+m)2=0
\(\Rightarrow \) (2+m)2=0
\(\Rightarrow \) m=-2
19.
Here a= \(\alpha -12,b=2(\alpha -12),c=2\)
For equal roots D=0 \(\Rightarrow \) b2-4ac=0
\(\Rightarrow \) [2( \(\alpha -12)]^{ 2 }\) -4X[2 \(\alpha -12)]=0\)
\(2(\alpha -12)[2\alpha -12)]=0\)
\(\Rightarrow \left( \alpha -12 \right) [(2\alpha -12)-4]=0\)
\(\Rightarrow \alpha =12,14\)
\(\alpha =12\) is not possible take \(\alpha =14\)
20.
For equal roots, D = 0.
21.
This is of the form ax2+bx+c=0, where a=4, b=4\(\sqrt { 3 } \) and c=3.
Discriminant(D)=b2-4ac=\({ \left( 4\sqrt { 3 } \right) }^{ 2 }\)-4 x 4 x 3=48-48=0
Roots are \(\alpha =\frac { -b+\sqrt { D } }{ 2a } =\frac { -4\sqrt { 3 } +0 }{ 8 } =\frac { -4\sqrt { 3 } }{ 8 } =\frac { -\sqrt { 3 } }{ 8 } \)
and \(\beta =\frac { -b-\sqrt { D } }{ 2a } =\frac { -4\sqrt { 3 } -0 }{ 8 } =\frac { -4\sqrt { 3 } }{ 8 } =\frac { -\sqrt { 3 } }{ 2 } \)
Hence, the roots are \(\frac { -\sqrt { 3 } }{ 2 } ,\frac { -\sqrt { 3 } }{ 2 } \)
22.
Given, equation is \( \sqrt2x^2+7x+5\sqrt2=0\)
\(\Rightarrow\) \( \sqrt2x^2+5x+2x+5\sqrt2=0\) [\(\because\) 5 \(\times\)2 = 10 and 5 + 2 = 7]
\(\Rightarrow\)\(x(\sqrt2x+5)+\sqrt2(\sqrt2x+5)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow\) (\(\sqrt{2}\)x + 5) (x + \(\sqrt{2}\)) = 0
\(\Rightarrow\) \(\sqrt{2}\)x+5 = 0 or x + \(\sqrt{2}\) = 0
\(\Rightarrow\) x=\(\frac{-5}{\sqrt{2}}\) or x = -\(\sqrt{2}\)
Hence, the roots of the equation
\(\sqrt{2} x^2+7 x+5 \sqrt{2}=0 \text { are } \frac{-5}{\sqrt{2}} \text { and }-\sqrt{2} \text {. }\)
23.
Let present age of Rohan be x years.
Rohan's mother's present age be (x+26+3)years.
After 3 years, Rohan's age = (x+3) years.
After 3 years, Rohan's mother's age= (x+26+3)years
ATQ (x+3)(x+29)=360
x2+32x-273=0
Which is the required quadratic equation.
24.
Let the two consecutive positive integers be x and x+1
Then, according to the question,
x(x+1) = 306 \(\Rightarrow\) x2 + x = 306
\(\Rightarrow\) x2 + x - 306 = 0,
Which is the required quadratic equation.
25.
Given, equation is (x+2)3=2x(x2-1)
\(\Rightarrow\) x3 + 8 + 3x2(2) + 3x (2)2 = 2x3 - 2x
[\(\because\) (a + b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3a2b + 3ab2]
\(\Rightarrow\) x3 + 8 + 6x2 + 12x = 2x3 - 2x
\(\Rightarrow\) x3 + 8 + 6x2 + 12x - 2x3 + 2x = 0
\(\Rightarrow\) -x3 + 6x2 + 14x + 8 = 0
which is not of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0,
because it has cubic term, i.e. x3.
\(\therefore\) It is not a quadratic equation.
