Answers ID : in-10-quadratic-equations [3] (1) 24 and 16 Let smaller number be x. Therefore square of larger number = 36x. x 2 + 36x = 832 x 2 + 36x - 832 = 0 x 2 + 52x - 16x - 832 = 0 x (x + 52) - 16 (x + 52) = 0 Step 6 (x + 52) (x - 16) = 0 Step 7 x = 16 or -52. Since numbers are positive, smaller number x = 16. Step 8 Larger number = (36 x 16) = 24 (2) 15 marks Lets assume Neha scored x marks out of 50 marks It is given that, 9 (x + 10) = x 2 9x + 9 10 = x 2 x 2-9x - 90 = 0 x 2 + 6x - 15x + (-15)(6) = 0 x (x + 6) - 15 (x + 6)) = 0 (x - 15) (x + 6) = 0 Therefore x = 15 or x = -6. But since marks should be positive, her actual marks are 15
(3) 9 ID : in-10-quadratic-equations [4] Let's assume that the natural number is 'x'. It is given that the square of the natural number when diminished by 37 is equal to 4 times of 2 more than the given number. We can write this fact as an equation and solve for x as: x 2-37 = 4(x + 2) x 2-37 = 4x + 8 x 2-37 - 4x - 8 = 0 x 2-4x - 45 = 0 Let us now solve the quadratic equation x 2-4x - 45 = 0 by the factorization method: x 2-4x - 45 = 0 x 2-9x + 5x - 45 = 0 x(x - 9) + 5(x - 9) = 0 (x - 9)(x + 5) = 0 either, or, (x - 9) = 0 (x + 5) = 0 x = 9 x = -5 x -5, since x is a natural number. Therefore, x = 9 Thus, the natural number is 9.
(4) 20 ID : in-10-quadratic-equations [5] Let's assume the natural number is 'x'. The reciprocal of 'x' = 1/x. It is given that when the natural number 'x' is decreased by 4, it equals 320 times its reciprocal. We can write this fact as an equation and solve for x as: x - 4 = 320(1/x) x - 4 = 320/x x 2-4x = 320 x 2-4x - 320 = 0 Let us now solve the quadratic equation x 2-4x - 320 = 0 by the factorization method: x 2-4x - 320 = 0 x 2-20x + 16x - 320 = 0 x(x - 20) + 16(x - 20) = 0 (x - 20)(x + 16) = 0 either, or, (x - 20) = 0 (x + 16) = 0 x = 20 x = -16 x -16, since we have been told that x is a natural number. Therefore, x = 20 Thus, the natural number is 20.

Since n cannot be negative, n = 5
(9) 100 km/hour ID : in-10-quadratic-equations [7] We know that, s = d/t, where, s = Speed of the train, d = Distance traveled by the train, t = time taken by train. Let's assume the speed of the train is 's' km/hour. It is given that, the train is traveling at a uniform speed for 6900 km, therefore, s = 6900/t -----(1) or t = 6900/s ------(2) It is also given that, the train would have taken 9 hours less to travel the same distance if its speed were 15 km/h more. 6900 Therefore, s + 15 = t - 9 By putting the value of 't' from equation (2), we get, 6900 s + 15 = 6900/s - 9 6900s s + 15 = 6900-9s (s + 15)(6900-9s) = 6900s 6900s - 9s 2 + 103500-135s = 6900s - 9s 2 + 103500-135s = 0 9s 2 + 135s - 103500 = 0 On solving the quadratic equation, 9s 2 + 135s - 103500 = 0, we get, s = 100 or -115 s -115, since the speed of the train cannot be negative. Therefore, s = 100 Thus, the speed of the train is 100 km/hour.

Step 6 900 5 = 15( x 2-5x) Step 7 60 5 = x 2-5x Step 8 x 2-5x - 300 = 0 Step 9 x 2 + 15x - 20x - 300 = 0 0 x (x + 15) - 20(x + 15) = 0 1 (x - 20) (x + 15) = 0 2 x = 20 or -15.

ID : in-10-quadratic-equations [12] (14) b. -x 2 + 3x - 4 = 0 In quadratic equation, ax 2 + bx + c = 0. D = b 2-4ac. If in a quadratic equation, D < 0, then the quadratic equation has no real roots. If in a quadratic equation, D > 0, then the quadratic equation has two distinct real roots. If in a quadratic equation, D = 0, then the quadratic equation has only one root. Let's check all of the quadratic equations for real roots. -3x 2 + 4x - 1 = 0 Here, a = -3, b = 4 and c = -1 Now, D = b 2-4ac = (4) 2-4(-3)(-1) = 4 Since, D > 0, the quadratic equation -3x 2 + 4x - 1 = 0 has two distinct real roots. -x 2 + 3x - 4 = 0 Here, a = -1, b = 3 and c = -4 Now, D = b 2-4ac = (3) 2-4(-1)(-4) = -7 Since, D < 0, the quadratic equation -x 2 + 3x - 4 = 0 has no real roots. -2x 2 + 7x - 4 = 0 Here, a = -2, b = 7 and c = -4 Now, D = b 2-4ac = (7) 2-4(-2)(-4) = 17 Since, D > 0, the quadratic equation -2x 2 + 7x - 4 = 0 has two distinct real roots. x 2 + 2x + 1 = 0 Here, a = 1, b = 2 and c = 1 Now, D = b 2-4ac = (2) 2-4(1)(1) = 0 Since, D = 0, the quadratic equation x 2 + 2x + 1 = 0 has only one root. Step 6 Thus, the quadratic equation -x 2 + 3x - 4 = 0 has no real roots.
