Worksheet on Nature of the Roots of a Quadratic Equation

Practice the questions given in the Worksheet on nature of the roots of a quadratic equation.

We know the nature of the roots of a quadratic equation depends completely on the value of its discriminant.

1. Without solving, comment upon the nature of roots of each of the following equations:

(a) 7x2 - 9x + 2 = 0

(b) 6x2 - 13x + 4 = 0

(c) 25x2 - 10x + 1 = 0

(d) x2 + 2√3 x - 9 = 0

(e) x2 - ax + b2 = 0

(f) 2x2 + 8x + 9 = 0


2. Find the discriminant of the following equations.

(a) x(x - 2) + 1 = 0

(b) 1x+2 + 1x2 = 2


3. Prove that none of the following equations has any real solution.

(a) x2 + x + 1 = 0

(b) x(x - 1) + 1 = 0

(c) x + 4x - 1 = 0, x ≠ 0

(d) x(x + 1) + 3(x + 3) = 0

(e) xx+1 + 3x1 = 0; x ≠ 1, -1


4. Find the value of ‘p’, if the following quadratic equation has equal roots: 4x2 - (p - 2)x + 1 = 0

5. Prove that each of the following equation has only one solution. Find the solution.

(a) 4y2 - 28y + 49 = 0

(b) 14x2 + 13x + 19 = 0

(c) 8x(2x - 5) + 25 = 0


6. Find the value of λ for which the equation λx2 + 2x + 1 = 0 has real and distinct roots.

7. For what value of k will each of the following equations give equal roots? Also, find the solution for that value of k.

(a) 3x2 + kx + 2 = 0

(b) kx2 - 4x + 1 = 0

(c) 5x2 + 20x + k = 0

(d) (k - 12)x2 + 2(k - 12)x + 2 = 0


8. The equation 3x2 - 12x + z - 5 = 0 has equal roots. Find the value of z.

9. Find k for which the equation 4x2 + kx + 9 = 0 will be satisfied by only one real value of x. Also find the solution.

10. Find the value of ‘z’, if the following equation has equal roots:

(z - 2)x2 - (5 + z)x + 16 = 0

11. Find the nature of roots of the following equation. If they are real, find them.

(a) 3x2 - 2x + 13 = 0

(b) 3x2 - 6x + 2 = 0

4. p = -2 or 6

5. (a) 72

(b) -23

(c) 54

 

6. All real values of λ < 1.

7. (a) ±2√6; when k = 2√6, solution = -26 and when k = -2√6, solution = 26

(b) 4; solution = -12

(c) 20; solution = -2
