QUADRATIC EQUATIONS

. Stating whether the given equation is a

Quadratic Equation or not ?

2 of 4

Q.) Check whether the following are quadratic equations :

(iv) (x – 3) (2x + 1) = x (x + 5)

Sol :

x

(2x + 1)

(x – 3) (2x + 1) = x (x + 5)

– 3

(2x + 1)

=

x2

+ 5x

2x2

+ x

– 6x

– 3

=

x2

+ 5x

2x2

– 5x

– 3

=

x2

+ 5x

i.e.

x2

– 10x

– 3

=

0

Arrange Equation

such that we get

RHS as 0

The given equation is in the form of ax2 + bx + c = 0.

So it is a quadratic equation.

Highest index of variable is 2

2x2

– 5x

– 5x

=

– x2

– 3

0

Q.) Check whether the following are quadratic equations :

(v) (2x – 1) (x – 3) = (x + 5) (x – 1)

Sol :

2x

(x – 3)

(2x – 1) (x – 3) = (x + 5) (x – 1)

– 1

(x – 3)

=

x

(x – 1)

+ 5

(x – 1)

2x2

– 6x

– x

+ 3

=

x2

– x

+ 5x

– 5

2x2

– 7x

+ 3

=

x2

+ 4x

– 5

x2

i.e.

– 11x

+ 8

= 0

The given equation is in the form of ax2 + bx + c = 0.

So it is a quadratic equation.

Highest index of variable is 2

Arrange Equation

such that we get

RHS as 0

EX 4.1 1(V)

4 of 4

Q.) Check whether the following are quadratic equations :

(vi) x² + 3x + 1 = (x – 2)²

Sol :

x² + 3x + 1 = (x – 2)²

x² + 3x + 1

=

– 4x

+ 4

i.e.

7x

– 3

= 0

The given equation is not in the form of ax2 + bx + c = 0.

So it is not a quadratic equation.

(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2

Arrange equation such that we get RHS = 0
