Ex 4.3 ,1 Find the roots of the following quadratic equations, if they exist, by the method of completing the square: (iv) 2x2 + x + 4 = 0 2x2 + x + 4 = 0 Dividing equation by 2 (2๐ฅ2 + ๐ฅ + 4)/2=0/2 2๐ฅ2/2+๐ฅ/2 + 4/2=0 x2 + ๐ฅ/2+2=0 We know that (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2 Here, a = x & 2ab = ๐ฅ/2 2xb = ๐ฅ/2 2b = 1/2 b = 1/2ร1/2 b = 1/4 Now, in our equation x2 + ๐ฅ/2+2=0 Adding and subtracting (1/4)^2 x2 + ๐ฅ/2 +2+(1/4)^2โ(1/4)^2=0 "x2 + " ๐ฅ/2+(1/4)^2+2โ(1/4)^2=0 (๐ฅ+1/4)^2+2โ(1/4)^2=0 (๐ฅ+1/4)^2+2โ1/16=0 (๐ฅ+1/4)^2+((32 โ 1)/16)=0 (๐ฅ+1/4)^2+ 31/16=0 (๐ฅ+1/4)^2=(โ31)/16 Since square of any number cannot be negative So, answer does not exist
