Answer:
Explanation:
1) Determining the nature of roots:
Quadratic equation: ax² + bx +c = 0
Find D (Discriminant) using the D = b² - 4ac
If D = 0 , then the two roots are equal.
If D > 0, then the equation has two distinct real roots.
If D < 0, then the roots are complex/ imaginary.
One can find the sum and product of the roots using the below mentioned formula.
1) sum of roots =
2) Product of roots =
If sum and product of the roots are given, one can frame the quadratic equation by x² - (sum of roots)*x + product of roots = 0
2) i) x² - 6x + 9 = 0
a = 1 ; b = -6 and c = 9
D = (-6)² - 4 * 1 * 9 = 36 - 36 = 0
D = 0. So, two equal roots
ii) x² - 4x + 3 = 0
a = 1 ; b = -4 ; c = 3
D = (-4)² - 4 * 1 * 3 = 16 - 12 = 4
D > 0. So, two distinct real roots.
iii) x² - 4x - 3 = 0
a = 1 ; b = -4 ; c = -3
D = (-4)² - 4*1*(-3) = 16 + 12 = 28 > 0
D > 0. So, two distinct real roots.
iv) x² - 4x + 7 = 0
a = 1 ; b = -4 ; c = 7
D =(-4)² - 4 *1 *7 = 16 - 28 = - 12
D< 0. So, two imaginary/ complex roots.
