Transcript

Ex 4.3 ,1 Find the roots of the following quadratic equations, if they exist, by the method of completing the square: (i) 2x2 – 7x + 3 = 0 2x2 – 7x +3 = 0 Dividing by 2 (2𝑥2 − 7𝑥 + 3 = 0)/2=0/2 2𝑥2/2 – 7𝑥/2 + 3/2=0 x2 – 7𝑥/2+3/2=0 We know that (a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2 Here, a = x & – 2ab = – 7𝑥/2 – 2xb = −7𝑥/2 b = −7𝑥/(2(−2𝑥)) b = 7/4 Now, in our equation x2 −7𝑥/2+3/2=0 Adding and subtracting (7/4)^2 x2 −7𝑥/2+3/2+(7/4)^2−(7/4)^2=0 x2 +(7/4)^2−7𝑥/2+3/2−(7/4)^2=0 (𝑥− 7/4)^2+3/2 −(7/4)^2=0 (𝑥− 7/4)^2+3/2−49/16=0 (𝑥− 7/4)^2+(3(8) − 49)/16=0 (𝑥− 7/4)^2+(24 − 49)/16=0 (𝑥− 7/4)^2−25/16=0 (𝑥−7/4)^2=25/16 (𝑥−7/4)^2=(5/4)^2 Cancelling square both sides 𝑥−7/4 = ± 5/4
