Roots of Quadratic Equations
i) The root of a quadratic equation is the value of the variable
x
which satisfies the equation
...

iii) A given quadratic equation may have:
a
...

Two real roots which are distinct (real and different)
c
...

Factorised Form with the RHS equal 0
...
General Form: ax + bx + c = 0
2

v)

For examples:

1
...

a) 3x (x + 2) = 0 [Factorised Form with 0 on the RHS]
Hence, 3x = 0 or x + 2 = 0 [By letting each factor be 0]
x = 0 or x = - 2
Ans: The roots are 0 and – 2
...


(x – 2) (x + 5) = 0 [Factorised Form with 0 on the RHS]
Hence, x – 2 = 0 or x + 5 = 0[By letting each factor be 0]
x = 2
or x = - 5
Ans: The roots are 2 and – 5
...
Solve the following quadratic equations by using
the difference of two squares formula

3 x – 48 = 0
[General Form]
3 (x – 16) = 0 [First, take out the HCF 3]
3 (x – 4 ) = 0 [ Then, express as a difference of two
squares]
3 (x – 4) (x + 4) = 0 [Next, factorise using the formula:
a – b = (a – b) (a + b)]
Hence, x – 4 = 0 or x + 4 = 0[By letting each factor be 0]
x = 4 or
x = -4
Ans: The roots are 4 and – 4

(11x) – 10 = 0 [First, express as a difference of two squares]
(11x – 10) (11x + 10) = 0 [Then, factorise using the formula:
a – b = (a – b) (a + b)]
Hence, 11x – 10 = 0 or 11x + 10 = 0[By letting each factor
be 0]
11x = 10 or 11x = - 10
x = 10/11 or
x = - 10/11
Ans: The roots are 10/11 and - 10/11

(x – 8) (x + 1) = 0 [Factorised Form]
Hence, x – 8 = 0 or x + 1 = 0
x = 8 or x = - 1
Ans: The roots are 8 and – 1
d) x + 2x – 3 = 0
[General Form]
(x + 3) (x – 1) = 0 [Factorised Form]
Hence, x + 3 = 0 or x – 1 = 0
x = - 3 or
x = 1
...

e) 4x + 12x + 9 = 0 [General Form]
(2x + 3) (2x + 3) = 0 [Factorised Form]
Hence, 2x + 3 = 0 or 2x + 3 = 0
2x = - 3 or 2x = - 3
