Ans :
3. Determine, whether the following quadratic equations have real roots, if so find them: 3
Ans :
∴x= = = =
x=
4. Find the compounded ratio of the following ratios: 3
Ans :
5. If α, β are the roots of the equation 2x2 + 5x + k = 0, find the value of k, if α2 + β2 + αβ = 21/4. 4
Ans :
6. Determine whether the given values are solutions of the equation or not: x4 – 13x2 + 36 = 0; x = 2, 4
x=–3
Ans : x4 – 13x2 + 36 = 0
For x = 2
(2)4 – 13(2)2 + 36 = 0
⇒ 16 – 52 + 36 = 0
⇒ 52 – 52 = 0
⇒0=0
So, x = 2 is a solution
Now, for x = –3
(–3)4 – 13(–3)2 + 36 = 0
⇒ 81 – 117 + 36 = 0
⇒ 117 – 117 = 0
⇒0=0
So, x = –3 is a solution
7. 4
Given . Using componendo and dividendo find x : y.
Ans :
8. If (x – 2) is a factor of 2x3 – x2 – px – 2; 4
(i) find the value of p.
(ii) With the value of p, factorise the above expression completely.
9. Given that x + 2 and x + 3 are factors of 2x3 + ax2 + 7x – b. Determine the values of a and b. 4
Ans : Put x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = –2
∵ (x + 2) is a factor of 2x3 + ax2 + 7x – b
⇒ 2(–2)3 + a(–2)2 + 7(–2) – b = 0
⇒ –16 + 4a – 14 – b = 0
⇒ 4a – b = 30 ...(i)
Put x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = –3
Also, (x + 3) is a factor of 2x3 + ax2 + 7x – b
⇒ 2(–3)3 + a(–3)2 + 7(–3) – b = 0
⇒ – 54 + 9a – 21 – b = 0
⇒ 9a – b = 75 ...(ii)
On solving these two equations, we get
4a – b = 30
9a – b = 75
– + –
–5a = – 45
a=9
Put a = 9 in equation (i), we get
4 × 9 – b = 30
⇒b=6
10. Determine the A.P. whose 8th term is 31 and 15th term exceeds the 11th term by 16. 4
Ans : Given a8 = 31
⇒ a + 7d = 31 ...(i)
Also, a15 = a11 + 16
⇒ a + 14d = a + 10d + 16
⇒ 14d – 10d = 16
⇒ 4d = 16
⇒d=4
∴ From (i), we get
a + 7 × 4 = 31
a + 28 = 31
a=3
∴ Required A.P. is 3, 7, 11, ...
11. 4
If the mth term of an A.P. is and the nth term is , show that the sum of mn terms is (mn +
1).
Ans :
12. The sum of four numbers in A.P. is 32 and the ratio of the product of means to the product of 4
extremes is 15 : 7. Find the numbers.
Also,
Ans : an = 2 – 3n, n = 25
For n = 1, a1 = 2 – 3(1) = 2 – 3 = –1
For n = 2, a2 = 2 – 3(2) = 2 – 6 = –4
For n = 3, a3 = 2 – 3(3) = 2 – 9 = –7
–1, –4, –7, ... is the A.P. and so on
Here, a = –1, d = –4 – (–1) = –4 + 1 = –3
Now, Sn = [2a + (n – 1)d]
14. The sum of first q terms of an A.P. is 63q – 3q2. If its pth term is –60, find the value of p. Also, 4
find the 11th term of this A.P.
