EXERCISE 4.3
1. Find the roots of the quadratic equations by using the quadratic formula in each of
the following:
(i) 2x2 – 3x – 5 = 0 (ii) 5x2 + 13x + 8 = 0
(iii) –3x2 + 5x + 12 = 0 (iv) –x2 + 7x – 10 = 0

(v) x2 + 2 2 x – 6 = 0 (vi) x2 – 3 5 x + 10 = 0

(E) Long Answer Questions


Sample Question 1 : Check whether the equation 6x2 – 7x + 2 = 0 has real roots, and
if it has, find them by the method of completing the squares.
Solution : The discriminant = b2 – 4ac = 49 – 4 × 6 × 2 = 1 > 0
So, the given equation has two distinct real roots.
Now, 6x2 – 7x + 2 = 0
i.e., 36x2 – 42x + 12 = 0
