Exercise 8.3 Solutions

Solve the following quadratic equations by factorization: 

1. (x - 4)(x + 2) = 0 

Solution

We have 
(x - 4)(x + 2) = 0 
⇒ either (x - 4) = 0 or (x + 2) = 0 
⇒ x = 4 or x = -2 
Thus, x = 4 and x = -2 are two roots of the equation(x - 4)(x + 2) = 0


2. (2x + 3)(3x - 7) = 0 

Solution

We have, 
(2x + 3)(3x- 7) = 0 
⇒ (2x + 3) = 0 or (3x- 7) = 0 
⇒ 2x = - 3 or 3x = 7 
⇒ x = -3/2 or x = 7/3 
Thus, x = -3/2 and x = 7/3 are two roots of the equation(2x + 3)(3x - 7) = 0


3. 4x2 + 5x = 0

Solution

We have 4x2 + 5x = 0   
⇒ x (4x + 5) = 0 
⇒ either x = 0 or 4x + 5 = 0
⇒ x = 0 or 4x = -5 
⇒ x = 0 or x = -5/4 
Thus, x = 0 and x = -5/4 are two roots of equation 4x2 + 5x = 0


4. 9x2 - 3x - 2 = 0

Solution

We have  9x2 - 3x - 2 = 0
⇒  9x2 - 6x + 3x - 2 = 0
⇒ 3x (3x - 2) + 1(3x - 2) = 0 
⇒ (3x - 2)(3x + 1) = 0 
⇒ either 3x - 2 = 0 or 3x + 1 = 0 
⇒ either 3x - 2 = 0 or 3x + 1 = 0 
⇒ 3x = 2 or 3x = - 1
⇒ x = 2/3 or x = -1/3
Thus, x = 2/3 and x = -1/3 are two roots of the equation 9x2 - 3x - 2 = 0


5. 6x2 - x - 2 = 0 

Solution

We have 6x2 - x - 2 = 0 
⇒ 6x2 + 3x - 4x - 2 = 0 
⇒ 3x(2x + 1) - 2(2x + 1) = 0 
⇒ (2x + 1)(3x - 2) = 0 
⇒ either 2x + 1 = 0 or 3x - 2 = 0 
⇒ 2x = - 1 or 3x = 2 
⇒ x = -1/2 or x = 2/3 
Thus, x = -1/2 and x = 2/3 are two roots of the equation 6x2 - x - 2 = 0


6. 6x2 + 11x + 3 = 0 

Solution

We have
6x2 + 11x + 3 = 0 
⇒ 6x2 + 9x + 2x + 3 = 0  
⇒ 3x(2x + 3) + 1 (2x + 3) = 0 
⇒ (2x + 3)(3x + 1) = 0 
⇒ 2x + 3 = 0 or x = -1/3
Thus, x = -3/2 and x = -1/3 are the two roots of the given equation.


7. 5x2 - 3x - 2 = 0 

Solution

We have 
5x2 - 3x - 2 = 0
⇒ 5x2 - 5x + 2x - 2 = 0 
⇒ 5x(x - 1) + 2(x - 1) = 0 
⇒ (x - 1)(5x + 2) = 0 
⇒ (x - 1) = 0 or 5x + 2 = 0 
⇒ x = 1 or x = -2/5 
∴ x = 1 and x = -2/5 are the two roots of the given equation.


8.  48x2 - 13x - 1 = 0 

Solution

We have 
48x2 - 13x - 1 = 0 
⇒ 48x2 - 16x + 3x - 1 = 0 
⇒ 16x (3x - 1) + 1(3x - 1) = 0 
⇒ (3x - 1)(16x + 1) = 0 
⇒ 3x - 1 = 0 or 16x + 1 = 0 
⇒ x = 1/3 or x = -1/16
∴ x= -1/16 and x = 1/3 are the two roots of the given equation.


9. 3x2 = - 11x - 10

Solution

We have 
3x2 = - 11x - 10 
⇒ 3x2 + 11x + 10 = 0 
⇒ 3x2 + 6x + 5x + 10 = 0 
⇒ 3x(x + 2) + 5(x + 2) = 0 
⇒ (x + 2)(3x + 5) = 0 
⇒ (x + 2) = 0 or x = -5/3 
∴ x = -2 and x = -5/3  are the two roots at the quadratic equation 3x2 = -11x - 10


10. 25x(x + 1) = - 4

Solution

We have 
(x + 1) = -4 
⇒(25x) × x + (25x) × 10 - 4 
⇒ 25x2 + 25x + 4 = 0  [25×4 = 100 ⇒ 25 = 20 + 5 ⇒ 100 = 20×5] 
⇒ 25x2 + 20x + 5x + 4 = 0
⇒ 5x(5x + 4) + 1(5x + 4) = 0 
⇒ (5x + 4)(5x + 1) = 0 
⇒ 5x + 4 = 0 or 5x + 1 = 0 
⇒ x = -4/3 or x = -1/3 
∴ x = -4/3 and x = -1/5 are the two solutions of the quadratic equation 25x(x + 1) = -4
