Question 12 Marks
Which of the following are quadratic equations?
$(x+2)^3=x^3-4$
Answer
Here it has been given that,
$(x+2)^3=x^3-4$
Now, after solving the above equation further we get
$ x^3+8+3(x)(2)(x+2)=x^3-4 $
$12+6 x^2+12 x=0 $
$ x^2+2 x+2=0$
Now as we can see, the above equation clearly represents a equation os the form $ax^2+ bx + c = 0$, where $a = 1, b= 2$ and $c = 2.$
Hence the above equation is a quadratic equation.

Question 22 Marks
In the following, find the value of k for which the given value is a solution of the given equation:
$ x^2+3 a x+k=0, x=-a $
Answer
$ x^2+3 a x+k=0, x=-a $
$ \because x=-a \text { is the solution } $
$ \therefore(-a)^2+3 a(-a)+k=0 $
$ \Rightarrow a^2-3 a^2+k=0 $
$ \Rightarrow-2 a^2+k=0 $
$ \therefore k=2 a^2$

Question 52 Marks
Write the discriminant of the following quadratic equation.
$(x - 1)(2x - 1) = 0$
Answer
$(x - 1)(2x - 1) = 0$
$2x^2- x - 2x + 1= 0$
$⇒ 2x^2- 3x + 1 = 0$

Question 62 Marks
Solve the following quadratic equations by factorization:
$(x - 4)(x + 2) = 0$
Answer
We have
$(x - 4)(x + 2) = 0$
$⇒$ either $(x - 4) = 0$ or $(x + 2) = 0$
$⇒ x = 4$ or $x = -2$
Thus, $x = 4$ and $x = -2$ are two roots of the equation $(x - 4)(x + 2) = 0$

Determine the nature of the root of the following quadratic equation:
$\frac{3}{5}\text{x}^2-\frac{2}{3}\text{x}+1=0$
Answer
$\frac{3}{5}\text{x}^2-\frac{2}{3}\text{x}+1=0$
The given quadratic equation is $\frac{3}{5}\text{x}^2-\frac{2}{3}\text{x}+1=0$ can also be written as $9x^2- 10x + 15 = 0$

Question 232 Marks
A cottage industry produces a certain number of toys in a day. The cost of production of each toy (in rupees) was found to be $55$ minus the number of articles produced in a day. On a particular day, the total cost of production was $Rs. 750$. If $x$ denotes the number of toys produced that day, from the quadratic equation of find $x.$
Answer
Let the number to toys in a day $= x$
Cost of each toy $= x - 55$
On a particular cost of production $= Rs.\ 750$
$x(x - 55) = 750$
$\Rightarrow x^2-55 x-750=0$
Hence required quadratic equation will be $=x^2-55 x-750=0$

Solve the following quadratic equations by factorization:
$3x^2- 14x - 5 = 0$
Answer
$ 3 x^2-14 x-5=0 $
$ \Rightarrow 3 x^2-15 x+x-5=0$
$\begin{cases}\because -5\times3=-15& \\\therefore-15=-15\times1\\-14=-15+1\end{cases}$
