$6 \times \frac{9}{4}-\frac{3}{2}-12=0$
$\frac{54-48-6}{4}$
$\frac{54-54}{4}$
= 0
When $x=-\frac{4}{3}$
$6\left(-\frac{4}{3}\right)^{2}-\frac{4}{3}-12=0$

Since this question is given in standard form,
meaning that it follows the form: ax2 + by + c = 0, we can use the quadratic formula to solve for
x:
$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$
$x=\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^{2}-4(2)(-3)}}{2 \times 2}$

We can do that by 7 and 3.
So,
√3x2 + 10x + 7√3 = 0
√3x2 + 3x + 7x + 7√3 = 0
√3x(x + √3) + 7(x + √3) = 0
(√3x + 7)(x + √3) = 0
(√3x + 7) = 0

Therefore, the roots of the equation are $\frac{a^{2}-b^{2}}{2} ,\frac{a^{2}+b^{2}}{2}$
b2x {a2x + 1} – 1 {a2x + 1} = 0
(b2x – 1) (a2x + 1) = 0

(6x –a + b) (6x – a – b) =0
6x = a – b 6x = a + b
$x=\frac{a-b}{6},x=\frac{a+b}{6}$
Therefore, the roots of the equation are$\frac{a-b}{6}, \frac{a+b}{6}$
2x (5ax – 3) + 3 (5ax – 3) = 0
2x+3 =0 5ax – 3 = 0

Therefore, roots of the equation are $-\frac{2 \mathrm{b}}{3 \mathrm{a}}, \frac{3 \mathrm{a}}{4 \mathrm{b}}$
4x2 — 2a2x+ 2b2x + a2b2 = 0
2x (2x – a2) – b2 (2x – a2) = 0

√3x(x + √3) + 7(x + √3) = 0
(√3x + 7)(x + √3) = 0
(√3x + 7) = 0
$\sqrt{3} x=-7$

√7 y2 – 13y + 7y — 13 √7 = 0
y (√7 y – 13) + √7 (√7 y – 13) = 0
(√7 y – 13) (y + √7) = 0
√7 y – 13 = 0 y + √7 = 0
$\mathrm{y}=\frac{13}{\sqrt{7}}$ y = –√7
Rationalise
$\mathrm{y}=\frac{13}{\sqrt{7}} \times \frac{\sqrt{7}}{\sqrt{7}}$
$\mathrm{y}=\frac{13 \sqrt{7}}{7}$

Question 14 F
Find the roots of the following quadratic equations by factorisation:
4x2 — 4a2x + a4 — b4 =
0Sol :
4x2 – {2(a2 + b2) + 2(a2 – b2)}x + (a2 + b2) (a2 – b2) = 0
4x2 – 2(a2 + b2)x + 2(a2 – b2) x + (a2 + b2) (a2 – b2) = 0
2x {2x – (a2 + b2)} – (a2 – b2) {2x – (a2 + b2)} = 0
{2x – (a2 – b2)} {2x – (a2 + b2)} = 0
2x – (a2 – b2) = 0 2x – (a2 + b2) = 0
2x = (a2 – b2) 2x = (a2 + b2)
$x=\frac{a^{2}-b^{2}}{2}, x=\frac{a^{2}+b^{2}}{2}$
Therefore, the roots of the equation are $\frac{a^{2}-b^{2}}{2} ,\frac{a^{2}+b^{2}}{2}$
Question 15 A
a2b2x2 + b2x – a2x — 1 = 0, a ≠ 0, b ≠
0
Sol :b2x {a2x + 1} – 1 {a2x + 1} = 0
(b2x – 1) (a2x + 1) = 0
b2x – 1 = 0 a2x + 1 = 0

Therefore, the roots of the equation are $\frac{1}{b^{2}}, \frac{-1}{a^{2}}$
Question 15 B
36x2 — 12ax + (a2 — b2) = 0
Sol :(6x)2 – 2 (6x)a + a2 — b2 = 0
Using Identity:
(x– y)2 = x2 + y2 – 2xy
Here, (6x–a)2 = (6x)2 – 2 (6x) a + a2
(6x – a)2 – b2 = 0
Using identity:
x2 – y2 = (a+ b) (a – b)
(6x –a + b) (6x – a – b) =0
6x = a – b 6x = a + b
$x=\frac{a-b}{6},x=\frac{a+b}{6}$
Therefore, the roots of the equation are$\frac{a-b}{6}, \frac{a+b}{6}$

$x=-\frac{3}{2}, x=\frac{3}{50}$
Therefore, roots of the equation are$\frac{3}{50},-\frac{3}{2}$
Question 15 D
12abx2 — (9a2 — 8b2) x — 6ab = 0
Sol :12abx2 — 9a2 x— 8b2x — 6ab = 0

3ax + 2b =0 4bx – 3a =0
$x=-\frac{2 b}{3 a}, x=\frac{3 a}{4 b}$
Therefore, roots of the equation are $-\frac{2 \mathrm{b}}{3 \mathrm{a}}, \frac{3 \mathrm{a}}{4 \mathrm{b}}$

Dividing by 5
$x^{2}-\frac{6 x}{5}-\frac{2}{5}=0$
We know
(a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2
Here, a=x and –2ab =$-\frac{6
x}{5}$
–2xb = $-\frac{6 x}{5}$(∵ a =x)
–2b = $-\frac{6}{5}$
$\mathrm{b}=-\frac{6}{5 \times(-2)}$
$\mathrm{b}=\frac{3}{5}$
∴ Equation becomes
–2xb = $-\frac{6 x}{5}$(∵ a =x)
–2b = $-\frac{6}{5}$
$\mathrm{b}=-\frac{6}{5 \times(-2)}$
$\mathrm{b}=\frac{3}{5}$
∴ Equation becomes
$x^{2}-\frac{6 x}{5}-\frac{2}{5}=0$
Add and subtract $\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}$
$x^{2}-\frac{6 x}{5}-\frac{2}{5}+\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}-\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}=0$
$x^{2}-\frac{6 x}{5}+\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}-\frac{2}{5}-\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}=0$
$\left(x-\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}=\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}+\frac{2}{5}$
$\left(x-\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}=\frac{9}{25}+\frac{2}{5}$
$\left(x-\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}=\frac{9+2(5)}{25}$
$\left(x-\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}=\frac{9+10}{25}$
$\left(x-\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}=\frac{19}{25}$
$\left(x-\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}=\frac{(\sqrt{19})^{2}}{(5)^{2}}$
Add and subtract $\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}$
$x^{2}-\frac{6 x}{5}-\frac{2}{5}+\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}-\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}=0$
$x^{2}-\frac{6 x}{5}+\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}-\frac{2}{5}-\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}=0$
$\left(x-\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}=\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}+\frac{2}{5}$
$\left(x-\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}=\frac{9}{25}+\frac{2}{5}$
$\left(x-\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}=\frac{9+2(5)}{25}$
$\left(x-\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}=\frac{9+10}{25}$
$\left(x-\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}=\frac{19}{25}$
$\left(x-\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}=\frac{(\sqrt{19})^{2}}{(5)^{2}}$
Canceling squares
both sides
$\left(x-\frac{3}{5}\right)=\pm \frac{\sqrt{19}}{5}$
$\left(x-\frac{3}{5}\right)=\pm \frac{\sqrt{19}}{5}$
Solving
$\left(x-\frac{3}{5}\right)=\frac{\sqrt{19}}{5}\left(x-\frac{3}{5}\right)=-\frac{\sqrt{19}}{5}$
$x=\frac{\sqrt{19}}{5}+\frac{3}{5} x=\frac{-\sqrt{19}}{5}+\frac{3}{5}$
$x=\frac{\sqrt{19}+3}{5} ,x=\frac{-\sqrt{19}+3}{5}$
So, $\mathrm{x}=\frac{\sqrt{19}+3}{5}$ and $x=\frac{-\sqrt{19}+3}{5}$ are the roots of the equation.

$x=\frac{28}{14}=2 x=-\frac{2}{14}=-\frac{1}{7}$
Question 18 C
Solve the following equations by the method of completion of a square.
15x2 + 53x + 42 = 0Sol :
Divide by 15
$x^{2}+\frac{53 x}{15}=-\frac{42}{15}$
Add the coefficient
of $\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)^{2}$ to both sides
$x^{2}+\frac{53 x}{15}+\left(\frac{53}{30}\right)^{2}=-\frac{42}{15}+\left(\frac{53}{30}\right)^{2}$
$\left(x+\frac{53}{30}\right)^{2}=-\frac{42}{15}+\frac{2809}{900}$
$\left(x+\frac{53}{30}\right)^{2}=\frac{-2520+2809}{900}$
$x+\frac{53}{30}=\frac{\sqrt{289}}{\sqrt{900}}$
$x=\frac{17}{30}-\frac{53}{30}, x=-\frac{17}{30}-\frac{53}{30}$
$x=-\frac{6}{5} ,x=-\frac{7}{3}$
Sol :
Divide by 7
$x^{2}+\frac{2 x}{7}=\frac{5}{7}$
$x^{2}+\frac{53 x}{15}+\left(\frac{53}{30}\right)^{2}=-\frac{42}{15}+\left(\frac{53}{30}\right)^{2}$
$\left(x+\frac{53}{30}\right)^{2}=-\frac{42}{15}+\frac{2809}{900}$
$\left(x+\frac{53}{30}\right)^{2}=\frac{-2520+2809}{900}$
$x+\frac{53}{30}=\frac{\sqrt{289}}{\sqrt{900}}$
$x=\frac{17}{30}-\frac{53}{30}, x=-\frac{17}{30}-\frac{53}{30}$
$x=-\frac{6}{5} ,x=-\frac{7}{3}$
Question 18 D
Solve the following equations by the method of completion of a square.
7x2 + 2x – 5 = 0Sol :
Divide by 7
$x^{2}+\frac{2 x}{7}=\frac{5}{7}$
Add the coefficient
of $\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)^{2}$ to both sides
$x^{2}+\frac{2 x}{7}+\left(\frac{2}{14}\right)^{2}=\frac{5}{7}+\left(\frac{2}{14}\right)^{2}$
$\left(x+\frac{2}{14}\right)^{2}=\frac{5}{7}+\frac{4}{196}$
$\left(x+\frac{2}{14}\right)^{2}=\frac{140+4}{196}$
$\left(x+\frac{2}{14}\right)^{2}=\frac{144}{196}$
$x+\frac{2}{14}=\frac{\sqrt{144}}{\sqrt{196}}$
$x+\frac{2}{14}=\frac{12}{14}$
$x=\frac{12-2}{14} ,x=\frac{-12-2}{14}$
$x=\frac{10}{14}=\frac{5}{7} ,x=-\frac{14}{14}=-1$
$x^{2}+\frac{2 x}{7}+\left(\frac{2}{14}\right)^{2}=\frac{5}{7}+\left(\frac{2}{14}\right)^{2}$
$\left(x+\frac{2}{14}\right)^{2}=\frac{5}{7}+\frac{4}{196}$
$\left(x+\frac{2}{14}\right)^{2}=\frac{140+4}{196}$
$\left(x+\frac{2}{14}\right)^{2}=\frac{144}{196}$
$x+\frac{2}{14}=\frac{\sqrt{144}}{\sqrt{196}}$
$x+\frac{2}{14}=\frac{12}{14}$
$x=\frac{12-2}{14} ,x=\frac{-12-2}{14}$
$x=\frac{10}{14}=\frac{5}{7} ,x=-\frac{14}{14}=-1$
