Find the roots of the quadratic equations given in Q.1 above by applying the quadratic formula.
i) 2x2 – 7x + 3 = 0
According to the quadratic formula; ![]()
= ![]()
∴ The roots are = ![]()
= ![]()
= ![]()
∴ The roots are 3 and ![]()
ii) 2x2 + x – 4 = 0
According to the quadratic formula; ![]()
= ![]()
∴ The roots are = ![]()
=
= ![]()
∴ The roots are = ![]()
iii) 4x2 + 4√3x + 3 = 0
According to the quadratic formula; ![]()
= ![]()
∴ The roots are = ![]()
= ![]()
∴ The roots are ![]()
iv) 2x2 + x + 4 = 0
According to the quadratic formula; ![]()
= ![]()
∴ The roots are = ![]()
= ![]()
This is not possible, Hence the roots do not exists.
