## Karnataka 1st PUC Basic Maths Question Bank Chapter 6 Theory of Equations

Question 1.
Find the nature of roots of the equation 3x2 – 4x + 9 = 0
Nature of roots depends on b2 – 4ac
⇒ a = 3, b = – 4, c = 9.
∴ b2 – 4ac = (-4)2 – 4 . (3) . 9 = 16 – 108 = – 92 < 0
∴ The roots are imaginary.

Question 2.
If a and B are the roots of 4x2 + 3x – 5 = 0. Find the value of $$\frac{\alpha^{2}}{\beta}+\frac{\beta^{2}}{\alpha}$$
a = 4, b = 3, c = – 5
Sum of roots = α + β = $$\frac{-b}{a}=\frac{-3}{4}$$
Product of roots = αβ = $$\frac{c}{a}=\frac{-5}{4}$$

Question 3.
Find three consecutive even natural numbers, such that the sum of their squares is 200.
Let the required even numbers be x, x + 2, x + 4
By data x2 + (x + 2)2 + (x + 4)2 = 200
⇒ x2 + x2 + 4x + 4 + x2 + 8x + 16 – 200 = 0
3x2 + 12x – 180 = 0 ⇒ x2 + 4x – 60 = 0
⇒ (x + 10)(x – 6) =0
we require +ve the integers ∴ x = 6
⇒ 6,8, 10 be the numbers.

Question 4.
A piece of cloth costs Rs. 200. If the piece were 5mts longer and each meter of cloth costed Rs. 2 less, the cost of piece would have remained unchanged. How long is the piece and what is its original rate per meter.
Let x be the length of the cloth, its cost = 200
∴ Rate of cloth per meter = $$\frac{200}{x}$$
Increased length of piece of cloth = (x + 5) mts
Now rate of cloth per meter = $$\frac{200}{21+5}$$
By date, old rate cloth – new rate of cloth = Rs 2.

⇒ x2 + 5x – 500 = 0
⇒ x2 + 25x – 20x – 500 = 0
⇒ x(x + 25) – 20(x + 25) = 0
⇒ x = 20 or -25 (neglected) [∴ x = 20mts]
length of cloth = 20 mts, rate per metre = Rs. 10.

Question 5.
Solve : x3 – 6x2 + 11x – 6 = 0. since that ratio of two roots is 2 : 3
By data α : β = 2 : 3
⇒ $$\frac{\alpha}{\beta}=\frac{2}{3}$$ = α = 2β
from the given equation,

⇒ 5α3 – 12α2 + 8 = 0
solving α = 2, ∴ α = 1
∴ The roots are 1,2,3

Question 6.
Solve by synthetic division that it has atleast one integral root between -3 and 3 for the equation x4 – 9x2 + 4x + 12 = 0
