Question 13 Marks
Show the following quadratic equation by factorization method:
$\sqrt{5}\text{x}^2+\text{x}+\sqrt{5}=0$
Answer
$\sqrt{5}\text{x}^2+\text{x}+\sqrt{5}=0$
We will apply discriminant rule,
$\text{x}=\frac{-\text{b}\pm\sqrt{\text{D}}}{2\text{a}}\ ...(\text{A})$
$D = b^2 - 4ac$
$=1^2-4.\sqrt{5}.\sqrt{5}$
$= 1 - 20$
$= -19$
From $(A)$
 $\text{x}=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt{-19}}{2.\sqrt{5}}$
$=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt{-19}\text{ i}}{2\sqrt{5}}$
Thus,
$\therefore\text{x}=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt{19}\text{ i}}{2\sqrt{5}}$

Question 23 Marks
Show the following quadratic equation by factorization method:
$-x^2 + x - 2 = 0$
Answer
$-x^2 + x - 2 = 0$
We will apply discriminant rule,
$\text{x}=\frac{-\text{b}\pm\sqrt{\text{D}}}{2\text{a}}\ ...(\text{A})$

Question 53 Marks
Show the following quadratic equation:
$ix^2 - x + 12i = 0$
Answer
We will apply discriminate rule on $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$
$\text{x}=\frac{-\text{b}\pm\sqrt{\text{b}^2-4\text{ac}}}{2\text{a}}$

$=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{1+48}}{2\text{i}}$
$=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{49}}{2\text{i}}$
$=\frac{1\pm7}{2\text{i}}$
$=\frac{8}{2\text{i}},\frac{-6}{2\text{i}}$
$=\frac{4}{\text{i}},-\frac{3}{\text{i}}$
$=-4\text{i},3\text{i}$

Question 73 Marks
Show the following quadratic equation:
$2\text{x}^2+\sqrt{15}\ \text{ix}-\text{i}=0$
Answer
$2\text{x}^2+\sqrt{15}\ \text{ix}-\text{i}=0$
Comparing the given Equation with the general form
$ax^2 + bx + c = 0,$ we get $a = 2, \text{b}=\sqrt{15}\text{i},\text{c}=-\text{i}$
Substituting a and in.
$\alpha=\frac{-\text{b}+\sqrt{\text{b}^2-4\text{ac}}}{2\text{a}}$ and $\beta=\frac{-\text{b}-\sqrt{\text{b}^2-4\text{ac}}}{2\text{a}}$
$\text{a}=\frac{-\sqrt{15}\text{ i}+\sqrt{-15+8}\text{ i}}{4}$ and $\beta=\frac{-\sqrt{15}\text{ i}-\sqrt{-15+8}\text{ i}}{4}$
Let $\sqrt{-15+8\text{i}}=\text{a}+\text{bi}$
$\Rightarrow -15 + 8i = (a + bi)^2$
$\Rightarrow -15 + 8i = a^2 - b^2 + 2abi$
$\Rightarrow a^2 - b^2 = -15$ and $2abi = 8i$
Now $(a^2 + b^2) = (a^2 - b^2) + 4a^2b^2$
$\Rightarrow (a^2 + b^2) = (15)^2 + 64 = 289$
$\Rightarrow a^2 + b^2 = 17$
Solving $a^2 - b^2 = -15$ and $a^2 + b^2 = 17,$ we get
$a^2 = 1$ and $b^2 = 16$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}=\pm1$ and $\text{b}=\pm4$
$\Rightarrow a = 1, b = 4$ or $a = -1, b = -4$
$\therefore\sqrt{-15+8\text{i }}=1+4\text{i},-1-4\text{i}$
when $\sqrt{-15+8}\text{i}=1+4\text{i}$
$\alpha=\frac{-\sqrt{15}\text{i}+1+4\text{i}}{4}=\frac{1+(4-\sqrt{15})\text{i}}{4}$
and $\beta=\frac{-\sqrt{15}\text{i}-(1+4\text{i})}{4}=\frac{-1-(4+\sqrt{15})\text{i}}{4}$
When $\sqrt{-15+8\text{i}}=-1-4\text{i}$
$\alpha=\frac{-\sqrt{15}\text{i}-1-4\text{i}}{4}=\frac{-1-(4+\sqrt{15})}{4}$
and $\beta=\frac{-\sqrt{15}\text{i}-(-1-4\text{i})}{4}=\frac{1+(4-\sqrt{5})\text{i}}{4}$

Question 83 Marks
Show the following quadratic equation by factorization method:
$\text{x}^2+\frac{\text{x}}{\sqrt{2}}+1=0$
Answer
$\text{x}^2+\frac{\text{x}}{\sqrt{2}}+1=0$

$\text{x}=\frac{-\text{b}\pm\sqrt{\text{D}}}{2\text{a}}\ ...(\text{A})$
$D = b^2 - 4ac$
$=1^2-4.\sqrt{2}.\sqrt{2}$
$= 1 - 8$
$= -7$
From $(A)$
$\text{x}=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt{-7}}{2\sqrt{2}}$
$=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt{-7}}{2\sqrt{2}}$
Thus,
$\therefore\text{x}=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt{7}\text{ i}}{2\sqrt{2}}$

Answer
$2x^2− (3 + 7i) x + (9i − 3) = 0$
$2x^2 - 3x - 7ix + (9i - 3) = 0$
$(2x - 3 - i) (x - 3i) = 0$
$\Big(\text{x}-\frac{3+\text{i}}{2}\Big)(\text{x}-3\text{i})=0$

Show the following quadratic equation by factorization method:
$\sqrt{3}\text{x}^2-\sqrt{2 }\text{x}+2\sqrt{3}=0$
Answer
$\sqrt{3}\text{x}^2-\sqrt{2 }\text{x}+2\sqrt{3}=0$
We will apply discriminant rule,
$\text{x}=\frac{-\text{b}\pm\sqrt{\text{D}}}{2\text{a}}\ ...(\text{A})$
Where $D = b^2 - 4ac$
$=(-\sqrt{2})^2-4.\sqrt{3}.3\sqrt{3}$
$= 2 - 36$
$= -34$
From $(A)$
$\text{x}=\frac{-(-2)\pm\sqrt{-34}}{2.\sqrt{3}}$
$=\frac{\sqrt{2}\pm\sqrt{34}\text{ i}}{2\sqrt{3}}$
$\therefore\text{x}=\frac{\sqrt{2}\pm\sqrt{34}\text{ i}}{2\sqrt{3}}$

$\text{x}=\frac{-28\pm\sqrt{-56}}{2.21}$
$=\frac{-28\pm2\sqrt{14}\text{ i}}{42}$
