Quadratic equations started around 3000 B.C. with the Babylonians. They were one of the world's first civilisation, and came up with some great ideas like agriculture, irrigation and writing. There were many reasons why Babylonians needed to solve quadratic equations. For example to know what amount of crop you can grow on the square field;
Based on the above information, represent the following questions in the form of quadratic equation.
(i) The sum of squares of two consecutive integers is 650.
| (a) x2 + 2x - 650=0 | (b) 2x2 + 2x - 649=0 | (c) x2 - 2x - 650=0 | (d) 2x2 + 6x - 550=0 |
(ii) The sum of two numbers is 15 and the sum of their reciprocals is 3/10.
| (a) x2+ 10x-150=0 | (b) 15x2-x + 150=0 | (c) x2-15x + 50=0 | (d) 3x2 - 10x + 15 = 0 |
(iii) Two numbers differ by 3 and their product is 504.
| (a) 3x2- 504=0 | (b) x2- 504x+3=0 | (c) 504x2+3=x | (d) x2 + 3x - 504 = 0 |
(iv) A natural number whose square diminished by 84 is thrice of 8 more of given number.
| (a) x2 + 8x-84=0 | (b) 3x2 - 84x+3=0 | (c) x2 -3x-108=0 | (d) x2 -11x+60=0 |
(v) A natural number when increased by 12, equals 160 times its reciprocal.
| (a) x2 - 12x + 160 = 0 | (b) x2 - 160x + 12 = 0 | (c) 12x2 - x - 160 = 0 | (d) x2 + 12x - 160 = 0 |
1.
Given, pair of linear equations is
kx-5y-2=0 and 6x+2y-7=0
Here a1=k, b1=-5, c1=-2
and a2=6, b2=2, c2=-7
For no solution,
\(\frac { { a }_{ 1 } }{ { a }_{ 2 } } =\frac { { b }_{ 1 } }{ { b }_{ 2 } } \neq \frac { { c }_{ 1 } }{ { c }_{ 2 } } \)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \frac { k }{ 6 } =\frac { -5 }{ 2 } \neq \frac { -2 }{ -7 } \)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \frac { k }{ 6 } =\frac { -5 }{ 2 } \)
\(\Rightarrow \quad k=-15\)
2.
Given pair of linear equations is
41x+53y=135 ..(i)
and 53x+41y=147 ...(ii)
On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
94x+94y=282
\(\Rightarrow\) x+y=3 [dividingboth sides by 94] ...(iii)
On subtracting Eq. (i) from Eq. (ii), we get
12x-12y=12
\(\Rightarrow\) x-y=1 [dividing both sides by 12] ...(iv)
Now, on adding Eqs.(iii) and (iv), we get
2x=4 \(\Rightarrow\) x=2
On substituting x=2 in Eq. (iii), we get
y=3-2=1
Hence, x=2 and y=1 is the required solution.
3.
Given, a and β are the zeroes of the polynomial
p(x)=ax2+bx+c.
Sum of zeroes, a+β=\(-b\over a\) and product of zeroes, aβ=\(c\over a\)
Now, a2β+aβ2=aβ(a+β)
\(=\frac { c }{ a } \times \frac { (b) }{ a } =\frac { -bc }{ a^{ 2 } } \)
4.
Let us assume to the contrary that \(3+2\sqrt { 5 } \) is a rational number. Then, it can be expressed in the form \(\frac{a}{b}\), where a, b are coprime integers and \(b\neq 0\)
Now, \(3+2\sqrt { 5 } \) = a/b, where a,b are integers and \(b\neq 0\)
On rearranging, we get
\(2\sqrt { 5 } =\frac { a }{ b } -3\quad or\quad \sqrt { 5 } =\frac { a }{ 2b } -\frac { 3 }{ 2 } \)
Since, a, b are integers and \(b\neq 0\) , therefore \(\frac{a}{2b}\) is rational number and so \(\frac{a}{2b}\) - \(\frac{3}{2}\) is a rational number.
[since, difference of two rational numbers is also a rational number]
\(\Rightarrow \sqrt { 5 } \) is a rational number. But \(\sqrt { 5 } \) is an irrational number.
This shows that our assumption is incorrect.
So, \(3+2\sqrt { 5 } \) is irrational.
5.
Let the original speed of train be x km/hr. Then,
Increased speed of the train = (x + 5)km/hr
Time taken by the train under usual speed to cover 360 km = \(\frac{360}{x} \mathrm{hr}\)
Time taken by the train under increased speed to cover 360 km = \(\frac{360}{x+5} \mathrm{hr}\)
Therefore,
\( \frac{360}{x}-\frac{360}{x+5}=1 \)
\(\frac{360(x+5)-360 x}{x(x+5)}=1 \)
\(\frac{360 x+1800-360 x}{x^{2}+5 x}=1 \)
\(\frac{1800}{x^{2}+5 x}=1\)
1800 = x2 + 5x
x2 + 5x - 1800 = 0
x2 - 40x + 45x - 1800 = 0
x(x - 40) + 45(x - 40) = 0
(x - 40)(x + 45) = 0
x - 40 = 0
x = 40
Or
x + 45 = 0
x = -45
But, the speed of the train can never be negative.
Hence, the original speed of train is x = 40 km/hr.
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.
Let side of bigger square be x m and side of smaller square be y m
ATQ x2+y2 = 640 ...(i)
and 4x-4y=64
\(\Rightarrow x-y=16\Rightarrow x=16+y\)
Substituting the value of x in equation (i) we get
(16+y2)+y2=640
\(\Rightarrow 256+y^{ 2 }+32y+y^{ 2 }=640\)
\(\Rightarrow 2y^{ 2 }+32y-384=0\)
\(\Rightarrow y^{ 2 }+16y-192=0\)
\(\Rightarrow (y+24)(y-8)\)
\(\Rightarrow \) y=8 or y=-24 (Rejecting)
When y=8, then x=16+8=24
\(\therefore \) Sides of squares are 8m and 24 m
8.
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
\(\sqrt{2} x^2+7 x+5 \sqrt{2}=0 \text { are } \frac{-5}{\sqrt{2}} \text { and }-\sqrt{2} \text {. }\)
9.
4s2 – 4s + 1 = 4s2 – 2s - 2s + 1
=2s(2s - 1) - 1(2s - 1)
=(2s - 1)(2s -1)
\(=2\left(s-\frac{1}{2}\right) 2\left(s-\frac{1}{2}\right)\)
Therefore the zeroes of the polynomial are 1/2, 1/2
Relationship between the zeroes and the coefficient of the polynomial:
Also sum of the zeroes = \(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=1\)
Also product of the zeroes = \(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{4}\)
hence verfied.
10.
D=b2-4ac=0
Here a=1+m2,b=2mc,c=(c2-a2)=0
(2mc)2-4(1+m2)(c2-a2)=0
\(\Rightarrow 4m^{ 2 }c^{ 2 }-4(1+m^{ 2 })(c^{ 2 }-a^{ 2 })\)
\(\Rightarrow m^{ 2 }c^{ 2 }-4(1+m^{ 2 })(c^{ 2 }-a^{ 2 })=0\)
\(\Rightarrow m^{ 2 }c^{ 2 }-(c^{ 2 }-a^{ 2 }+m^{ 2 }c^{ 2 }-m^{ 2 }a^{ 2 })=0\)
\(\Rightarrow m^{ 2 }c^{ 2 }-(c^{ 2 }+a^{ 2 }+m^{ 2 }c^{ 2 }+m^{ 2 }a^{ 2 })=0\)
\(\Rightarrow -c^{ 2 }+a^{ 2 }+m^{ 2 }a^{ 2 }=0\)
c2=a2(1+m2)
Hence proved.
11.
\(\frac { 3 }{ x+1 } +\frac { 4 }{ x-1 } =\frac { 29 }{ 4x-1 } \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac { 7x+1 }{ x^{ 2 }-1 } =\frac { 29 }{ 4x-1 } \)
\(\Rightarrow (7x+1)(4x-1)=29x^{ 2 }-29\)
\(\Rightarrow 28x^{ 2 }-7x+4x-1=29x^{ 2 }-29\)
\(\Rightarrow 28x^{ 2 }-3x-1=29x^{ 2 }-29\)
\(\Rightarrow x^{ 2 }+3x-28\)
\(\Rightarrow x^{ 2 }+7x-4x-28=0\)
\(\Rightarrow x(x+7)-4(x+7)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow x(x+7)(x-4)=0\)
x=4,-7
