ii Find the sum of all odd numbers from 1 to 150. For this complete the following activity.
Odd numbers from 1 to 150 are
1, 3, 5, 7, ..., 149
The above sequence is an A.P.
Here t1 = 1 , tn = , n = 75
Sn = …[Formula]
∴ S75 = (150)
∴ S75 =

iii Complete the following activity to find the value of discriminant of the equation x 2 + 9x – 10 = 0.
Solution:
Comparing x 2 + 9x – 10 = 0 with ax 2 + bx + c = 0
a = 1, b = 9, c =

Q.3(A) Complete the following activities. (Any one) (3)


i Solve the following equation by completing square method.
x 2 + 9x + 18 = 0
If, x 2 + 9x + k = (x + a)2
Then, x 2 + 9x + k = x 2 + 2ax + a 2
∴ a= , k = a2 =
Now, x 2 + 9x + 18 = 0
∴ –

∴
∴ x = or x =
