This equation is of the form ax2+bx+c=0, where a ≠ 0 and b, c are any real numbers.
Hence, this is a quadratic equation
This equation is of the form ax2+bx+c=0, where a ≠ 0 and b, c are any real numbers.
Hence, this is a quadratic equation
This equation is not of the form ax2+bx+c=0, where a ≠ 0 and b, c are any real numbers.
Hence, this is a not quadratic equation
Let the number of marbles with Raja by x and the number of marbles with Raju be y.
The sum of the marbles they have is 26.
⇒x+y=26
After losing 3 marbles each, they will have x−3 and y−3 marbles respectively.
The product of the marbles they now have is 91
⇒(x−3)(y−3)=91
⇒xy−3x−3y+9=91
⇒xy−3(x+y)+9=91
⇒xy−3(x+y)=91−9
Replacing (x+y) by 26, we get
xy−3×26=82
⇒xy−78=82 or xy=160
Replacing x = 26 - y
(26−y)y=160
−y2+26y−160=0 or y2−26y+160=0
Let the shorter side be x.
∴ The diagonal is (x+60) and longer side is (x+30)
Using Pythagoras Theorem,
(x+60)2 = (x+30)2+x2
⇒x2+120x+3600 = x2+60x+900+x2
⇒x2−2x2+120x−60x +3600−900=0
⇒−x2+60x+2700=0
⇒x2−60x−2700=0
Given equation is 8x2−22x−21=0
⇒8x2−28x+6x−21=0
[ ∵ -28 + 6 = -22 and -28 × 6 = -168]
⇒ 4x(2x - 7) + 3(2x - 7) = 0
⇒ (4x + 3)(2x - 7) = 0
∴ 4x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = \dfrac{-3}{4}
and 2x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = \dfrac{7}{2}
Hence, x = \dfrac{-3}{4} and x = \dfrac{7}{2} are the roots of the given equation.
Let the two consecutive numbers be x and x+1.
(x) × (x+1) = 20
⇒ x^2 + x - 20 = 0
⇒ x^2 + 5x - 4x - 20 = 0
[ ∵ 5 - 4 = 1 and 5 × -4 = -20]
⇒ x(x + 5) - 4(x + 5) = 0
⇒ (x + 5)(x - 4) = 0
Hence x = -5 or x = 4
Hence 1st number is -5 and second number is -4 or 1st number is 4 and 2nd number is 5
Let the two numbers be x and x+3.
(x) × (x+3) = 504
⇒ x^2 + 3x - 504 = 0
⇒ x^2 + 24x - 21x - 504 = 0
[ ∵ 24 - 21 = 3 and 24 × -21 = -504]
⇒ x(x + 24) - 21(x + 24) = 0
⇒ (x + 24)(x - 21) = 0
Hence x = -24 or x = 21
Hence 1st number is -24 and second number is -21 or 1st number is 21 and 2nd number is 24
Let the average speed of the passenger train be x km/h
Hence the time taken by the train to travel 300 km (t1) = \dfrac{300}{x}
After increasing the speed by 5 km/h, the new speed will be (x + 5) km/h
Time taken to cover 300 km with new speed (t2) = \dfrac{300}{x + 5} km/h
As t1 - t2 = 2
⇒ \dfrac{300}{x} - \dfrac{300}{x + 5} = 2
⇒ \dfrac{(300)(x + 5) - 300x}{x^2 + 5x} = 2
⇒ 300x + 1500 - 300x = 2(x^2 + 5x)
⇒ 1500 = 2x^2 + 10x
⇒ 2x^2 + 10x - 1500 = 0
⇒ 2x^2 + 60x - 50x - 1500 = 0
⇒ 2x(x + 30) - 50(x + 30) = 0
⇒ (x + 30)(2x - 50) = 0
Hence x = -30 or x = 25
As speed cannot be negative, the usual spped of the train is 25 km/h
x^2 + k(4x + k - 1) + 2 = 0
⇒ x^2 + 4kx + k^2 - k + 2 = 0
Comparing this equation with ax^2 + bx + c = 0,
a = 1, b = 4k and c= k^2 - k + 2
⇒ Discriminant D = b^2 - 4ac
16k^2 - 4 × 1 × (k^2 - k + 2)
16k^2 - 4k^2 + 4k - 8
12k^2 + 4k -8
For equal roots, D = 0 ⇒ 12k^2 + 4k -8 = 0
⇒ 12k^2 + 12k - 8k - 8 = 0
⇒ 12k(k + 1) - 8(k + 1) = 0
⇒ (k + 1)(12k - 8) = 0
Hence, for equal roots, k = -1 or k = \dfrac{2}{3}
