10th Maths Exercise 3.15 Solutions Question 1.
Graph the following quadratic equations and state their nature of solutions,
(i) x² – 9x + 20 = 0
Solution:

Step 1:

Step 2: The point of intersection of the curve with x axis is (2, 0)
Step 3:

Since there is only one point of intersection with x axis, the quadratic equation x² – 4x + 4 = 0 has real and equal roots.
∴ Solution{2, 2}

Let y = x² + x + 7
Step 1:

Step 3:
Draw the parabola and mark the co-ordinates of the parabola which intersect with the x-axis.

Step 4:
The roots of the equation are the points of intersection of the parabola with the x axis. Here the parabola does not intersect the x axis at any point.
So, we conclude that there is no real roots for the given quadratic equation,

(iv) x² – 9 = 0
Let y = x² – 9
Step 1:

Step 2:
The points to be plotted: (-4, 7), (-3, 0), (-2, -5), (-1, -8), (0, -9), (1,-8), (2, -5), (3, 0), (4, 7)
Step 3:
Draw the parabola and mark the co-ordinates of the parabola which intersect the x-axis.

Step 4:
The roots of the equation are the co-ordinates of the intersecting points (-3, 0) and (3, 0) of the parabola with the x-axis which are -3 and 3 respectively.
Step 5:
Since there are two points of intersection with the x axis, the quadratic equation has real and unequal roots.
∴ Solution{-3, 3}

(v) x² – 6x + 9 = 0
Let y = x² – 6x + 9
Step 1:

Step 3:
Draw the parabola and mark the co-ordinates of the intersecting points.

Step 4:
The point of intersection of the parabola with x axis is (3, 0)
Since there is only one point of intersection with the x-axis, the quadratic equation has real and equal roots. .
∴ Solution (3, 3)

(vi) (2x – 3)(x + 2) = 0

The points to be plotted: (-4, 22), (-3, 9), (-2, 0), (-1, -5), (0, -6), (1, -3), (2, 4), (3, 15), (4, 30)
Step 3:
Draw the parabola and mark the co-ordinates of the intersecting point of the parabola with the x-axis.

Step 4:
The points of intersection of the parabola with the x-axis are (-2, 0) and (1.5, 0).
Since the parabola intersects the x-axis at two points, the, equation has real and unequal roots.
∴ Solution {-2, 1.5}

Question 2.
Draw the graph of y = x² – 4 and hence solve x² – x – 12 = 0
Solution:



Point of intersection (-3, 5), (4, 12) solution of x² – x – 12 = 0 is -3, 4

Question 3.
Draw the graph of y = x² + x and hence solve x² + 1 = 0.

To solve: x² + 1 = 0, subtract x² + 1 = 0 from y = x² + x.
x² + 1 = 0 from y = x² + x

Plotting the points (-2, -3), (0, -1), (2, 1) we get a straight line. This line does not intersect the parabola. Therefore there is no real roots for the equation x² + 1 = 0.

Draw the parabola by plotting the point (-4, 6), (-3, 2), (-2, 0), (-1, 0), (0, 2), (1, 6), (2, 12), (3, 20), (4, 30).

To solve x² + 2x + 1 = 0, subtract x² + 2x + 1 = 0 from y = x² + 3x + 2

Draw the straight line by plotting the points (-2, -1), (0, 1), (2, 3)
The straight line touches the parabola at the point (-1,0)
Therefore the x coordinate -1 is the only solution of the given equation

Question 5.

Draw the parabola using the points (-4, 0), (-3, -4), (-2, -6), (-1, -6), (0, -4), (1, 0), (2, 6), (3, 14), (4, 24).

To solve: x² + 3x – 4 = 0 subtract x² + 3x – 4 = 0 from y = x² + 3x – 4 ,

The points of intersection of the parabola with the x axis are the points (-4, 0) and (1, 0), whose x – co-ordinates (-4, 1) is the solution, set for the equation x² + 3x – 4 = 0.

Question 6.
Draw the graph of y = x² – 5x – 6 and hence solve x² – 5x – 14 = 0.

Draw a straight line using the points (-2, -1), (0, 1), (2, 3). The points of intersection of the parabola and the straight line forms the roots of the equation.
The x-coordinates of the points of intersection forms the solution set.
∴ Solution {-1, 3}

Question 8.
Draw the graph of y = (x – 1)(x + 3) and hence solve x² – x – 6 = 0.
