Chapter 1 Quadratic Equations
x2 - ( + β ) x + β = 0
Or x2 – S x + P = 0
is the required equation, where S = and P =
Example 4:
Form a quadratic Equation whose roots are 3 5, 3 5
Solution:
Roots of the required Equation are 3 5 and 3 5
Therefore S = Sum of roots = 3 5 3 5
S=0
P = Product of roots = (3 5)(3 5) = – 9 (5)
P = – 45
Required equation is
x2 – (Sum of roots) x + (Product of roots) = 0
Or x2 – Sx + P = 0
x2 – 0(x) + (–45) = 0
x2 – 0 – 45 = 0
x2 – 45 = 0
Example 5:
If , are the roots of the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, find the equation whose
roots are , .
Solution:
Because , are the roots of the Equation ax2 + bx + c = 0
b
The sum of roots =
a
b
Product of roots =
a
Roots of the required equation are ,
Therefore ,

Summary
Quadratic Equation:
An equation of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0, a ≠ 0, where a, b , c R and x is a
variable, is called a quadratic equation.
If , are its roots then

Nature of Roots:
(i) If b2 – 4ac > 0 the roots are real and distinct.
(ii) If b2 – 4ac = 0 the roots are real and equal.
(iii) If b2 – 4ac < 0 the roots are imaginary.
(iv) If b2 – 4ac is a perfect square, roots will be rational, otherwise irrational.
Relation between Roots and Co-efficients
