Question : Is x=-2, a solution of the quadratic equation x² - 2x +8 = 0
⇒(-2)² - 2(-2) + 8 = 0
⇒ 4 - (-4) + 8 = 0
⇒4+4 + 8 = 0
⇒16 is not equal to 0
Therefore it is not a root of the given eq
If the given eq is x² - 2x - 8 then the solution is
x = -2
⇒(-2)² - 2(-2) - 8 = 0
⇒4- (-4) - 8 = 0
⇒4+4 - 8 = 0
⇒8 - 8 = 0
⇒0=0
Therefore -2 is a root of the given eq
⇒(-2)² - 2(-2) + 8 = 0
⇒ 4 - (-4) + 8 = 0
⇒4+4 + 8 = 0
⇒16 is not equal to 0
Therefore it is not a root of the given eq
If the given eq is x² - 2x - 8 then the solution is
x = -2
⇒(-2)² - 2(-2) - 8 = 0
⇒4- (-4) - 8 = 0
⇒4+4 - 8 = 0
⇒8 - 8 = 0
⇒0=0
Therefore -2 is a root of the given eq
