Question:
Find the roots of the following quadratic equation by factorisation : 3x² - 2√6x + 2 = 0
Answer:
x = √(2/3) , √(2/3)
(equal roots)
Note:
• The possible values of unknown (variable) for which the equation is satisfied are called its solutions or roots .
• If x = a is a solution of any equation in x , then it must satisfy the given equation otherwise it's not a solution (root) of the equation.
Solution:
The given quadratic equation is :
3x² - 2√6x + 2 = 0 .
Now ,
Splitting the middle term of the given quadratic equation, we have ;
=> 3x² - 2√6x + 2 = 0
=> 3x² - √6x - √6x + 2 = 0
=> √3x(√3x - √2) -√2(√3x - √2) = 0
=> (√3x - √2)(√3x - √2) = 0
=> √3x - √2 = 0 or √3x - √2 = 0
=> √3x = √2 or √3x = √2
=> x = √2/√3 or x = √2/√3
=> x = √(2/3) , √(2/3)
Hence,
The roots of the given quadratic equation are equal ie , x = √(2/3) , √(2/3)
