Class 10 Maths Chapter 4 Exercise 4.1 Quadratic Equations NCERT Solution
Check whether the following are quadratic equations :
(i) $$(x + 1)^{2}$$ = 2(x – 3)
Answer
$$x^{2}+2x+1 = 2x-3$$
$$x^{2}+2=0$$
Yes, it is Quadratic equations
(ii) $$x^{2} – 2x = (–2) (3 – x)$$
Answer
$$x^{2}-2x = -6+2x$$
$$x^{2}-4x+6=0$$
Yes, it is Quadratic equations
(iii) (x – 2)(x + 1) = (x – 1)(x + 3)
Answer
$$x^{2}-x-2 = x^{2}+2x-3$$
$$3x-1=0$$
No, it is not Quadratic equations because not in the form $$ax^{2}+ bx + c = 0$$
(iv) (x – 3)(2x +1) = x(x + 5)
Answer
$$2x^{2}-5x-3 = x^{2}+5x$$
$$x^{2}-10x-3=0$$
Yes, it is Quadratic equations
(v) (2x – 1)(x – 3) = (x + 5)(x – 1)
Answer
$$2x^{2}-7x+3 = x^{2}+4x-5$$
$$x^{2}-11x+8=0$$
Yes, it is Quadratic equations
(vi) $$x^{2} + 3x + 1 = (x – 2)^{2}$$
Answer
$$x^{2}+ 3x + 1 = x^{2}+4-4x$$
$$7x-3=0$$
No, it is not Quadratic equations because not in the form $$ax^{2}+ bx + c = 0$$
(vii) $$(x + 2)^{3} = 2x (x^{2} – 1)$$
Answer
$$x^{3}+8+6x^{2}+12x = 2x^{3}-2x$$
$$x^{3}-6x^{2}-14x-8=0$$
No, it is not Quadratic equations because not in the form $$ax^{2}+ bx + c = 0$$
(viii) $$x^{3} – 4x^{2} – x + 1 = (x – 2)^{3}$$
Answer
$$x^{3}-4x^{2}-x+1 = x^{3}-8-6x^{2}+12x$$
$$2x^{2}-13x+9=0$$
Yes, it is Quadratic equations
Represent the following situations in the form of quadratic equations :
(i) The area of a rectangular plot is 528 m2 . The length of the plot (in metres) is one more than twice its breadth. We need to find the length and breadth of the plot.
Answer
Let the breadth of plot be x
A/Q, length of plot = 2x + 1
and
Area of plot = 528
⇒ $$(2x+1)x$$ = 528
⇒ $$2x^{2}+x-528=0$$
(ii) The product of two consecutive positive integers is 306. We need to find the integers.
Answer
Let the smaller no. be x
then the larger no. = $$x+1$$
A/Q,
$$x(x+1)=306$$
⇒ $$x^{2}+x-306=0$$
(iii) Rohan’s mother is 26 years older than him. The product of their ages (in years) 3 years from now will be 360. We would like to find Rohan’s present age.
Answer
Let present age of Rohan be x year
then present age of Rohan’s mother = (x + 26) year
After 3 years
Age of Rohan = x + 3
Age of Rohan’s mother = $$x+26+3=x+29$$
A/Q,
$$(x+3)(x+29)=360$$
⇒ $$x^{2}+32x+87=360$$
⇒ $$x^{2}+32x-273=0$$
(iv) A train travels a distance of 480 km at a uniform speed. If the speed had been 8 km/h less, then it would have taken 3 hours more to cover the same distance. We need to find the speed of the train.
Answer
Let the speed of train be x km/hr
then the time taken(t) = $$\frac{480}{x}hr$$
A/Q,
t + 3 = $$\frac{480}{x-8}$$ $$\because t=\frac{d}{s}$$
⇒ $$\frac{480}{x}+3=\frac{480}{x-8}$$
⇒ $$3=480\left[\frac{1}{x-8}-\frac{1}{x}\right]$$
⇒ $$1=160\left[\frac{x-(x-8)}{x(x-8)}\right]$$
⇒ $$x^{2}-8x=160\times8$$
⇒ $$x^{2}-8x-1280=0$$
