Question # 2
Write short answers of following questions: (i) Discuss the nature of the roots of the following equations: (a) x2 + 3x + 5 = 0
Solution:
x2 + 3x + 5 = 0 Here a = 1, b = 3, c = 5 Disc Disc Disc Disc Hence, Roots are imaginary (b) 2x2 - 7x + 3 = = = = b2 4ac (3)2 4(1) (5) 9 20 - 11
Solution:
2x2 - 7x + 3 Here a = 2, b = -7 , c = 3 Disc Disc Disc = = = b2 4ac (-7)2 4(2)(3) 49 24

Solution:
x2 + 6x 1 = 0 Here a = 1, b = 6 , c = -1 Disc Disc Disc Disc Hence, Roots are real, irrational and unequal (d) 16 x2 8x + 1 = 0 = = = = b2 4ac (6)2 4(1)(-1) 36 + 4 40
Solution:
16 x2 8x + 1 = 0 Here a = 16, b = -8 , c = 1 Disc Disc Disc Disc Hence, Roots are real, rational and equal. Mudassar Nazar Notes Published by Asghar Ali Page 2 = = = = b2 4ac (-8)2 4(16)(1) 64 64 0
