If b = 0, c < 0, is it true that the roots of x² + bx+ c = 0 are numerically equal and opposite in sign? Justify.

True

Quadratic Equation – A quadratic equation in x is an equation that can be written in the standard form, ax² + bx + c = 0 Where a, b and c are real numbers with a $\neq$ 0

Roots : If ax² + bx + c = 0 …..(1)

Is a quadratic equation then the values of x which satisfy equation 1 are the roots of the equation.

Here the given equation is x² + bx+ c = 0 …..(2)

It is also given that b = 0, c < 0.

Let c=-y

Put b = 0, c = – y in (2)
$\\x^{2}+0(x)-y=0\\ x^{2}=y\\ x=\pm \sqrt{y}\\ x=+\sqrt{y}\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; x=-\sqrt{y}$

Hence both the roots are equal and opposite in sign. Hence the given statement is true.

Is 0.2 a root of the equation x² – 0.4 = 0? Justify

False

Quadratic Equation – A quadratic equation in x is an equation that can be written in the standard form, ax² + bx + c = 0 Where a, b and c are real numbers with a $\neq$ 0

Roots : If ax² + bx + c = 0 …..(1)

Is a quadratic equation then the values of x which satisfy equation 1 are the roots of the equation.

Here the given equation is x² – 0.4 = 0 …..(2)

If 0.2 is a root of equation 2 then it should satisfy its equation
Put x = 0.2 in (2)

$\\(0.2)^{2}-0.4=0\\ \left (\frac{2}{10} \right )-0.4=0\\ \frac{4}{100}-0.4=0\\ 0.04-0.4=0\\ -0.36 \neq 0$

Here 0.2 is not satisfying the equation (2)

Hence 0.2 is not a root of the equation $x^{2}-0.4=0$

Does there exist a quadratic equation whose coefficients are all distinct irrationals but both the roots are rational? Why?

True

Let us consider an equation with distinct irrational numbers

$\sqrt{2}x^{2}-5\sqrt{2}x+4\sqrt{2}=0$

compare with $ax^{2} + bx + c = 0$ where $a \neq 0$

$a=\sqrt{2},b=-5\sqrt{2},c=4\sqrt{2}$

let us find the roots of the equation

$\\x=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}\\ x=\frac{5\sqrt{2 }\pm \sqrt{50-4(\sqrt{2})(4\sqrt{2})}}{2 \sqrt{2}}\\ x=\frac{5 \sqrt{2} \pm \sqrt{50-32}}{2\sqrt{2}}\\ x=\frac{5 \sqrt{2} \pm \sqrt{18}}{2\sqrt{2}}\\ x=\frac{\sqrt{2}(5\pm 3)}{2\sqrt{2}}=\frac{5 \pm 3}{2}\\ x=\frac{5+3}{2}=4 \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; x=\frac{5-3}{2}=1$

The roots are rational. Hence the given statement is true

Does there exist a quadratic equation whose coefficients are rational but both of its roots are irrational? Justify your answer.

True

Solution

Rational number – A number that can be expressed in the form of $\frac{p}{q}$ where $q\neq 0$

(p, q are integers)

Irrational number – A number that can not be expressed in the form of ratio of two integers.

Let us suppose a quadratic equation with rational coefficient.

$-x^{2}-2x+4=0$

compare with $ax^{2} + bx + c = 0$ where $a \neq 0$

Let us find the roots of the equation

$x=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}\\ x=\frac{2 \pm \sqrt{4-4(-1)(4)}}{2 (-1)}\\ x=\frac{2 \pm \sqrt{20}}{-2}\\ x=\frac{2\pm2\sqrt{5}}{-2}\\ x=\frac{2+2\sqrt{5}}{-2} \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; x=\frac{2-2\sqrt{5}}{-2}\\$

Both of its roots are irrational.

Hence the given statement is true.

(iii) Every quadratic equation has at least two roots.

(iv) Every quadratic equations has at most two roots.

(v) If the coefficient of x² and the constant term of a quadratic equation have opposite signs, then the quadratic equation has real roots.

(vi)If the coefficient of x² and the constant term have the same sign and if the coefficient of x term is zero, then the quadratic equation has no real roots.

(i) False

Solution

Hence it is false that every quadratic equation has exactly one root.

(ii) False

Solution

Quadratic Equation – A quadratic equation in x is an equation that can be written in the standard form, $ax^{2} + bx + c = 0$

Where a, b and c are real numbers with $a \neq 0$

#4.2

Write whether the following statement is True or False. Justify your answer.

The graph of every linear equation in two variables need not be a line.

Answer:

False

Solution:

We know that the standard form of any linear equation is ax + by + c = 0

If we put different value of x we get different values of y corresponding to the values of x.

So we have x proportional to y.

Thus we can say $\frac{x}{y}$ = constant.

Now, the general equation of a line is $y = mx + c$ , which also gives a direct proportionality between x and y.

So if we plot a graph with the help of such points, it will always be a line

Therefore the given statement is false.

Write whether the following statement is True or False. Justify your answer.

Every point on the graph of a linear equation in two variables does not represent a solution of the linear equation.

Answer:

False

Solution:

The graph of a linear equation in two variables is a line which can be plotted by finding two solutions (a₁, b₁) and (a₂, b₂).

Hence the graph of a linear equation is constructed by joining these points. So any point on the graph must be a solution of this linear equation.

Hence the given statement is False.

Write whether the following statement is True or False. Justify your answer.

The coordinates of points in the table:

x 0 1 2 3 4

y 2 3 4 -5 6

represent some of the solutions of the equation x – y + 2 = 0.

Answer:

False

Solution:

The given equation is x – y + 2 = 0

Put x = 0 in the given equation

0 – y + 2 = 0

y = 2, i.e., the point is (0, 2)

Put x = 1 in the given equation

1 – y + 2 = 0

y = 3, i.e., the point is (1, 3)

Put x = 2 in the given equation

2 – y + 2 = 0

4 = y, i.e., the point is (2, 4)

Put x = 3 in the given equation

3 – y + 2 = 0

5 = y, i.e., the point is (3, 5)

Put x = 4 in the given equation

4 – y + 2 = 0

6 = y, i.e., the point is (4, 6)

The coordinates of points in the table:

x	0	1	2	3	4
y	2	3	4	-5	6

It is given that the above represents some of the solutions of the equation x – y + 2 = 0.

Here all the points satisfy the given equation except (3, -5).

Therefore the given statement is false because one of the table entry is an incorrect solution for the given equation.
