Now, 1014 = 2 ´ 3 ´ 13 ´ 13 Which shows that the given quadratic equation
Thus, it is the product of prime factors. has real and equal roots. (1)
Hence, 7 ´ 11´ 13 + 13 is a composite number. (1) 5. Given, a = first term = -1

[Q h = l - r and r = 7cm, l = 14cm] Now, ÐOQP = ÐOQR + ÐPQR
Þ 90 ° = 38°+ÐPQR [QÐOQR = ÐSQR = 38° ]

So, ÐPRQ = ÐPQR = 52 °
4. Given, equation is 3x 2 - 4 3x + 4 = 0. [Q angles opposite to the equal sides are equal]
On comparing it with ax 2 + bx + c = 0, we get Now, on applying angle sum property in DPQR, we get

Þ ÐQPR + 52° + 52° = 180 ° 11. Since, two zeroes of the given polynomial
Þ ÐQPR = 180 ° - 140 ° Þ ÐQPR = 76° (1) 4x 4 + x 3 - 72 x 2 - 18x, are 3 2 and -3 2.
Again, ÐQOR = 180 ° - ÐQPR Therefore, (x - 3 2 )(x + 3 2 ) = x 2 - 18 is a factor of
