Quadratic Equations Set – 8

1. I. 2x2 – 15√3x + 84 = 0
II. 3y2 – 10√3y + 9 = 0
A) x > y
B) x < y
C) x ≥ y
D) x ≤ y
E) x = y or relation cannot be established

Answer & Explanation

 Option A
Solution: 

2x2 – 15√3x + 84 = 0
Now multiply 2 and 84 = 168
we have √3 in equation, so divide, 168/3 = 56
Now make factors so as by multiply you get 56, and by addition or subtraction you get –15
we have factors (-8) and (-7)
So 2x2 – 15√3x + 84 = 0
gives
2x2 – 8√3x – 7√3x + 84 = 0
2x (x – 4√3) – 7√3 (x – 4√3x) = 0
So x = 7√3/2, 4√3
Similarly for
3y2 – 10√3y + 9 = 0
Multiply 3 and 9 = 27
we have √3 in equation, so divide, 27/3 = 9
Now make factors so as by multiply you get 9, and by addition or subtraction you get –10
we have factors (-9) and (-1)
So 3y2 – 10√3y + 9 = 0
gives
3y2 – 9√3y – √3y + 9 = 0
3x (x – 3√3) – √3 (x – 3√3x) = 0
Put all values on number line and analyze the relationship
√3/3 …. 3√3 ….. 7√3/2 …… 4√3

II. 2y2 + 9√5y + 50 = 0
A) x > y
B) x < y
C) x ≥ y
D) x ≤ y
E) x = y or relation cannot be established

Answer & Explanation

x2 + 2√5x – √5x – 10 = 0
Gives x = -2√5, √5
2y2 + 9√5y + 50 = 0
2y2 + 4√5y + 5√5y + 50 = 0

A) x > y
B) x < y
C) x ≥ y
D) x ≤ y
E) x = y or relation cannot be established

Answer & Explanation

 Option E
Solution: 

2x2 – (8+√3)x + 4√3 = 0
By multiplying we have to 2*4√3 = 8√3 and by adding/subtracting we have to get – (8+√3)
So factors are -8 and -√3
So 2x2 – (8+√3)x + 4√3 = 0
Gives
2x2 – 8x – √3x + 4√3 = 0
2x(x- 4) – √3(x – 4) = 0
So x = 4, √3/2
NEXT
3y2 – (6+2√3)y + 4√3 = 0
By multiplying we have to 3*4√3 = 12√3 and by adding/subtracting we have to get –(6+2√3)
So factors are -6 and -2√3
So 3y2 – (6+2√3)y + 4√3 = 0
Gives
3y2 – 6y – 2√3y + 4√3 = 0
3y(y- 2) – 2√3(y – 2) = 0
So x = 2, 2√3/3
Put all values on number line and analyze the relationship
√3/2…… 2√3/3…… 2… 4

 

4. I. x2 – (2+√5)x + 2√5 = 0
II. 2y2 – (6+3√5)y + 9√5 = 0
A) x > y
B) x < y
C) x ≥ y
D) x ≤ y
E) x = y or relation cannot be established

Answer & Explanation

 Option B
Solution: 

x2 – (2+√5)x + 2√5 = 0
By multiplying we have to 2√5 and by adding/subtracting we have to get – (2+√5)
So factors are -2 and -√5
So x2 – (2+√5)x + 2√5 = 0
Gives
x2 – 2x – √5x + 2√5 = 0
x(x- 2) – √5(x – 2) = 0
So x = 2, √5
NEXT
2y2 – (6+3√5)y + 9√5 = 0
By multiplying we have to 2*9√5 = 18√5 and by adding/subtracting we have to get –(6+3√5)
So factors are -6 and -3√5
So 2y2 – (6+3√5)y + 9√5 = 0
Gives
2y2 – 6y – 3√5y + 9√5 = 0
2y(y- 3) – 3√5(y – 3) = 0
So x = 3, 3√5/2
Put all values on number line and analyze the relationship
2…… √5…… 3… 3√5/2
