38 EXEMPLAR PROBLEMS

11. (x2 + 1)2 – x2 = 0 has


(A) four real roots (B) two real roots
(C) no real roots (D) one real root.

(C) Short Answer Questions with Reasoning


Sample Question 1 : Does (x – 1)2 + 2(x + 1) = 0 have a real root? Justify your answer.
Solution : No, since the equation is simplified to x2 + 3 = 0 whose discriminant is –12.
Sample Question 2 : Is the following statement ‘True’ or ‘False’?Justify your answer.
If in a quadratic equation the coefficient of x is zero, then the quadratic equation has no
real roots.
Solution : False, since the discriminant in this case is – 4ac which can still be non-
negative if a and c are of opposite signs or if one of a or c is zero.

EXERCISE 4.2
1. State whether the following quadratic equations have two distinct real roots.
Justify your answer.

2

(v) (x + 4)2 – 8x = 0 (vi) (x – 2


2 ) – 2(x + 1) = 0

3 1
(vii) 2 x2 – x + = 0 (viii) x (1 – x) – 2 = 0
2 2
(ix) (x – 1) (x + 2) + 2 = 0 (x) (x + 1) (x – 2) + x = 0
2. Write whether the following statements are true or false. Justify your answers.
(i) Every quadratic equation has exactly one root.
(ii) Every quadratic equation has at least one real root.
(iii) Every quadratic equation has at least two roots.
(iv) Every quadratic equations has at most two roots.
(v) If the coefficient of x2 and the constant term of a quadratic equation have
opposite signs, then the quadratic equation has real roots.
