Question

x^2-4x-12=0. when x€N​

Answer 1

Answer:

${x}^{2} - 4 x - 12 = 0\\ = > {x}^{2} - 6x + 2x - 12 = 0 \\ = > x(x - 6) + 2( x- 6) = 0 \\ = > (x - 6) ( x+ 2) = 0 \\ = > x = 6 \: or \: x = - 2 \\ \\ but \: x \: is \: a \: natural \: number \\ therefore.x = 6 \: answer$

Answer 2

Answer:

The required value of x for the given quadratic equation is 6.

Step-by-step-explanation:

We have given a quadratic equation.

We have to find the root of the given quadratic equation such that the root is a natural number.

The given quadratic equation is x² - 4x - 12 = 0.

∴ x² - 4x - 12 = 0

⇒ x² - 6x + 2x - 12 = 0

⇒ x ( x - 6 ) + 2 ( x - 6 ) = 0

⇒ ( x - 6 ) ( x + 2 ) = 0

⇒ x - 6 = 0 or x + 2 = 0

⇒ x = 6 or x = - 2

But, x = - 2 is unacceptable.

∴ x = 6

Additional Information:

1. Quadratic Equation:

An equation having a degree '2' is called quadratic equation.

The general form of quadratic equation is ax² + bx + c = 0.

Where, a, b, c are real numbers and a ≠ 0.

2. Roots of Quadratic Equation:

The roots means nothing but the value of the variable given in the equation.

3. Methods of solving quadratic equation:

There are mainly three methods to solve or find the roots of the quadratic equation.

A) Factorization method

B) Completing square method

C) Formula method

4. Solution of Quadratic Equation by Factorization:

1. Write the given equation in the form

2. Find the two linear factors of the of the equation.

3. Equate each of those linear factor to zero.
