Explanation

$\displaystyle { x }^{ 2 }+\frac { 1 }{ 4{ x }^{ 2 } } -8=0$

$\displaystyle \frac { 4{ x }^{ 4 }+1-8\times 4{ x }^{ 2 } }{ 4{ x }^{ 2 } } =0$

$\displaystyle 4{ x }^{ 4 }+1-32{ x }^{ 2 }=0$

0%
$-4$
0%
$2$

Explanation

Comparing the equation

$x^2 - 3x + k = 0$ with

$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ , we get

$a = 1, b = - 3, c = k$

Here, discriminant

$= 1$

$\therefore b^2 - 4ac = 1$ ......

$[\because D=b^2 - 4ac]$

$\therefore (-3)^2 - 4(1)(k) = 1$

$\therefore 9 - 4k = 1$

$\therefore -4k = - 8$

$\therefore k = 2$

0%
$-2x^2-3x+6$

Explanation

Given: set of quadratic equations

To find: the equation having same discriminant as

$5x^2+2x+1=0$

Sol: The equation

$5x^2+2x+1=0$ is of form

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

$\therefore a=5, b=2, c=1$

The discriminant of this equation becomes

$b^2-4ac=2^2-4(5)(1)=4-20=-16$

(i)

$-x^2+4x-8$ this is also of the form

$ax^2+bx+c$

$\therefore a=-1, b=4, c=-8$

The discriminant of this equation becomes

$b^2-4ac=4^2-4(-1)(-8)=16-32=-16$

(ii)

$x^2+3x-7$ this is also of the form

$ax^2+bx+c$

$\therefore a=1, b=3, c=-7$

The discriminant of this equation becomes

$b^2-4ac=3^2-4(1)(-7)=9+28=37$

(iii)

$4x^2-5\implies 4x^2-0x-5$ this is also of the form

$ax^2+bx+c$

$\therefore a=4, b=0, c=-5$

The discriminant of this equation becomes

$b^2-4ac=0^2-4(4)(-5)=0+80=80$

(iv)

$-2x^2-3x+6$ this is also of the form

$ax^2+bx+c$

$\therefore a=-2, b=-3, c=6$

The discriminant of this equation becomes

$b^2-4ac=(-3)^2-4(-2)(6)=9+48=57$

$x^2 - 6x +9= 25$

$x^2 - 6x - 16 = 0$

$x^2 -8x +2x -16 =0$

$(x-8)(x +2) =0$

$x = -2,8$

Find the roots of the quadratic equation by applying the quadratic formula

$\displaystyle 2x^2 - 7x + 3 = 0$

$3,\displaystyle -\frac{1}{2}$
0%
$-3,\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}$
0%
$3,\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}$
0%
None of these

Explanation

Given equation is

$2x^{2}-7x+3=0$
Hence,

$a=2,b=-7,c=3$
Therefore,

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

$=\dfrac{7\pm\sqrt{25}}{4}$

$=\dfrac{7\pm5}{4}$

Thus,

$x=3$ and

$x=\dfrac{1}{2}$

0%
No
0%
Ambiguous
0%
Data insufficient

Explanation

Given,

$3x + \dfrac{1}{x} - 8 = 0$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{3x^2+1-8x}{x}=0$

$\Rightarrow 3x^2+1-8x=0$
Comparing it with the standard form of quadratic equation

$x^2+bx+c=0, a\neq 0$
Here,

$a=3$
Thus, it is a quadratic equation.

If

0%
$\cfrac{1}{{a}^{2}}-2b$
0%
${a}^{2}-\cfrac{2}{b}$
0%
$\cfrac{1}{{a}^{2}}-\cfrac{2}{b}$

Explanation

Given,

$\frac { 1 }{ x } +\frac { 1 }{ y } =a$ ..................eq (1)

$xy=\frac { 1 }{ b }$ .........................................eq.(2)

$\Rightarrow \frac { 1 }{ x } =b$
Squaring both sides in eq (1)

${ \left( \frac { 1 }{ x } +\frac { 1 }{ y } \right) }^{ 2 }={ a }^{ 2 }$

$\Rightarrow { \left( { \frac { 1 }{ x } } \right) }^{ 2 }+2\cdot \frac { 1 }{ x } \cdot \frac { 1 }{ y } +{ \left( \frac { 1 }{ y } \right) }^{ 2 }={ a }^{ 2 }$ \\

$\Rightarrow { \left( { \frac { 1 }{ { x }^{ 2 } } } \right) }+\frac { 2 }{ xy } +{ \left( \frac { 1 }{ y^{ 2 } } \right) }={ a }^{ 2 }$

$\Rightarrow { \left( { \frac { 1 }{ { x }^{ 2 } } } \right) }+2b+{ \left( \frac { 1 }{ y^{ 2 } } \right) }={ a }^{ 2 }$ putting

$\Rightarrow \frac { 1 }{ x } =b$

$\Rightarrow \frac { 1 }{ { x }^{ 2 } } +\frac { 1 }{ { y }^{ 2 } } ={ a }^{ 2 }-2b$

0%
Data insufficient

Explanation

Given equation is

$(x + 2)^3 = x^3 - 4$

$\rightarrow x^3+2^3+3\times x\times 2(x+2)=x^3-4$

$\Rightarrow x^3+8+6x(x+2)=x^3-4$

$\Rightarrow x^3+8+6x^2+12x-x^3+4=0$

$\Rightarrow 6x^2+12x+12=0$
Comparing it with the standard form of quadratic equation

$x^2+bx+c=0, a\neq 0$ .
Here,

$a=6$
Thus, it is a quadratic equation.

0%
No
0%

Explanation

$16x^2 - 3 = (2x + 5) (5x - 3)$

$\Rightarrow 16x^2 - 3=10x^2-6x+25x-15$

$\Rightarrow 16x^2-10x^2+6x-25x+15-3=0$

$\Rightarrow 6x^2-19x+12=0$

Can't say

Explanation

$a^{2}x^{2}-3abx+2b^{2}=0$
Therefore

$2b^{2}.a^{2}=2b^{2}a^{2}$

$=2ab.ab$
Hence

$a^{2}x^{2}-abx-2abx+2b^{2}=0$

$ax(ax-b)-2b(ax-b)=0$

$(ax-2b)(ax-b)=0$
Thus, the roots are

$\dfrac{2b}{a},\dfrac{b}{a}$

Hence, the given statement is false.
