☼ Methods to solve Quadratic Equation : There are three different methods to solve the quadratic equation.
(i) Method of Factorization
e.g. Solve : 4 x2 – 21 x – 18 = 0.
Soln. 4 x2 – 21 x – 18 = 0.
4 x2 – 24 x + 3 x – 18 = 0.
4 x ( x – 6 ) + 3 ( x – 6 ) = 0
( x – 6 ) ( 4 x + 3 ) = 0
x – 6 = 0 or 4 x + 3 = 0
x = 6 4 x = – 3
x = –
Solution Set =
(ii) The method of Perfect Square Polynomial
e.g. Solve : 4 x2 – 21 x – 18 = 0.
Soln. 4 x2 – 21 x – 18 = 0.
4 x2 – 21 x = 18
L.T.
or
(iii) The method of Discriminant
e.g. Solve : 4 x2 – 21 x – 18 = 0.
Soln. 4 x2 – 21 x – 18 = 0 compare with ax2 + bx + c = 0.
We have, a = 4, b = – 21 and c = – 18
Now, D = b2 – 4 a c
= ( – 21 )2 – 4 ( 4 ) ( – 18 )
= 729
Now, and
