what is the nature of the roots of the quadratic equation:2x^2-5x+3=0
Answers
Answer:
Nature of roots are of three types:
- Real and distinct roots ( When D > 0 )
- Real and equal roots ( When D = 0 )
- Unreal or imaginary roots ( When D < 0 )
The above set of roots can be found from a quadratic equation based on useful tool called Discriminant, denoted with letter 'D'.
Discriminant is a value which is determined by the coefficients of a given quadratic equation.
D = b² - 4ac
- a is the coefficient of x²
- b is coefficient of x
- c is the constant
According to the question, Eqn: 2x² - 5x + 3 = 0
- a = 2
- b = -5
- c = 3
→ D = (-5)² - 4(2)(3)
→ D = 25 - 24 = 1
Since the D value is greater than zero ( 1 ), it would have real and distinct roots.
Question :---- what is the nature of the roots of the quadratic equation:2x^2-5x+3=0 ?
Concept used :----
If A•x^2 + B•x + C = 0 ,is any quadratic equation,
then its discriminant is given by;
D = B^2 - 4•A•C
• If D = 0 , then the given quadratic equation has real and equal roots.
• If D > 0 , then the given quadratic equation has real and distinct roots.
• If D < 0 , then the given quadratic equation has unreal (imaginary) roots...

Solution :---
Given Equation is 2x² - 5x + 3 = 0 .
Comparing it with A•x^2 + B•x + C = 0 we get,
→ A = 2
→ B = (-5)
→ C = 3 .
Now, lets check discriminant of the Equation :--
→ D = B^2 - 4•A•C
→ D = (-5)² - 4 * 2 * 3
→ D = 25 - 24
