Question 4.
Solve 2x2 + 5x – 3 = 0 by completing squares method.
Answer:

Question 5.
Solve (2x + 3) (3x – 2) + 2 = 0 using formula.
Answer:
(2x + 3) (3x – 2) + 2 = 0
6x2 – 4x + 9x – 6 + 2 = 0
6x2 + 5x – 4 = 0
It is in the form of ax2 + bx + c = 0
a = 6, b = 5 and c = – 4

Question 6.
Solve a (x2 + 1) = x (a2 + 1) using formula.
Answer:
a(x2 + 1) = x (a2 + 1)
ax2 + a = x (a2) + 1
ax2 – (a2 + 1)x + a = 0
It is in the form of ax2 + bx + c = 0
a = a, b = – (a2 + 1) and c = a

Question 7.
For what Positive value of ‘m’ roots x2 – mx + 9 = 0 are
i. Equal
ii. distinct
iii. imaginary.
Answer:
x2 – mx + 9 = 0
It is in the form of ax2 + bx + c = 0
a = 1, b = – m and c = 9
∆ = b2 – 4ac
∆ = – (m)2 – 4 × 1 × 9
∆ = m2 – 36
i) If roots are equal
∆ = 0
m2 – 36 = 0
m2 = 36
m = √36 = ±6
m = 6
ii) If roots are distinct
∆ > 0
m2 – 36 > 0
m2 > 36
m > ±6
∴ m > 6
iii) If roots are imaginary
∆ < 0
m2 – 36 < 0
m2 < 36
∴ m < ±6
∴ m < 6
Question 8.

Answer:
10x2 + 12x + 36x – 120 – x2 = 0
9x2 + 36x – 108 = 0 divide by 9
x2 + 4x – 12 = 0
x2 + 6x – 2x – 12 = 0
(x + 6) – 2 (x + 6) = 0
(x + 6) (x – 2) = 0
x = – 6 (or) x = 2
Question 9.
Find the value of ‘P’ in a Quadratic equation (3P + 1) c2 + 2 (P + 1) c + P = 0 has equal roots.
Answer:
It is in the form of ax2 + bx + c = 0
a = (3P + 1) , b = 2(P + 1) and c = P
∆ = b2 – 4ac = 0 [has equal roots]
[2(P + 1)]2 – 4 × (3P + 1) P = 0
4(P2 + 2P + 1) – 4P(3P + 1) = 0
4[P2 + 2P + 1 – 3P2 – P] = 0
divide by 4
– 2P2 + P + 1 = 0 divide by – 1
2P2 – P – 1 = 0
2P2 – 2P + P – 1 = 0
2P(P – 1) + 1 (P – 1) = 0
(P – 1) (2P + 1) = 0
(P – 1) = 0 (or) 2P + 1 = 0
P = 1 (or) 2P = – 1
P = −1/2
∴ P = 1 (or) −1/2
Question 10.
In Rhombus ABCD the diagonals AC and BC intersect at E. If AE = x, BE = x + 7 and AB = x + 8. Find the lengths of the diagonals AC and BC.
Answer:

In Rhombus ABCD, AC and BD are diagonals are intersect at E.

x (x – 5) + 3 ( x – 5) = 0
(x – 5) (x + 3) = 0
x – 5 = 0 & x + 3 = 0
x = 5 & x = – 3
AE = x = 5 cm
∴ AC = 5 + 5 = 10 cm
BE = x + 7 = 5 + 7 = 12 cm
BD= 12 + 12 = 24 cm
∴ two diagonals are 10 cm and 24 cm.
Question 11.
A motor boat whose speed is 15 km/hr in still water goes 30 km downstream and comes back in a total of 4 hours 30 minutes determine the speed of the stream.
Answer:
Let the speed of the stream be x km/hr
Speed of downstream = (15 + x) km/hr.
Time taken by the boat to go 30 km
downstream = 30/15+x hours
Speed upstream = 15 – x hours
Time taken by the boat to go 30 km
Upstream = 30/15–x hrs
It is given that the boat returns to the same point in 4 hours 30 minutes.

The speed of the stream = 5 km/hr.
Question 12.
A dealer sells an article for ₹ 24 and gains as much percent as the cost price of the article. Find the cost price of the article.
Answer:
Let the C.P of the article = x
S.P = ₹ 24
Gain = x% of C.P

x2 = 2400 – 100x
x2 + 100x – 2400 = 0
x2 + 120x – 20x – 2400 = 0
x(x + 120) – 20(x + 120) = 0
(x + 120) (x – 20) = 0
x + 120 = 0 & x – 20 = 0
x = – 120 & x = 20
∴ The C.P of the article = ₹ 20
