Answer:

A quadratic equation is an equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants, and x is a variable.

The equations that are quadratic equations are:

(i) x^ 2 + 6 x − 4 = 0

(v) 2 x^ 2 − √ 3 x + 9 = 0

The equations that are not quadratic equations are:

(ii) √ 3 x^ 2 − 2 x + 1/ 2 = 0

(iii) x^ 2 + 1/ x^ 2 = 5

(iv) x − 3/ x = x ^ 2

(vi) x ^ 2 − 2 x − √ x − 5 = 0

(vii) 3 x ^ 2 − 5 x + 9 = x 2 − 7 x + 3

(viii) x + 1 x = 1

In (ii) √ 3 x^ 2 − 2 x + 1/ 2 = 0 the coefficient of x^2 is not a real number.

In (iii) x^ 2 + 1/ x^ 2 = 5 the equation is not in the form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0

In (iv) x − 3/ x = x ^ 2 the equation is not in the form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0

In (vi) x ^ 2 − 2 x − √ x − 5 = 0 the equation is not in the form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0

In (vii) 3 x ^ 2 − 5 x + 9 = x 2 − 7 x + 3 both sides are not equal

In (viii) x + 1 x = 1 the equation is not in the form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0

So, the equations that are quadratic equations are (i) and (v).
