Question 12 Marks
Show the following quadratic equation by factorization method: $17x^2 - 8x + 1 = 0$
Answer
$17x^2 - 8x + 1 = 0$ We will apply discriminant rule, $\text{x}=\frac{-\text{b}\pm\sqrt{\text{D}}}{2\text{a}}\ ...(\text{A})$
Where $D = b^2 - 4ac = (-8)^2 - 4.17.1 = 64 - 68 = -4$ From (A) $\text{x}=\frac{-(-8)\pm\sqrt{-4}}{2.17}$
$=\frac{8\pm2\text{i}}{34}$ $=\frac{4\pm\text{i}}{17}$
$\therefore\text{x}=\frac{4}{17}+\frac{\text{i}}{17},\frac{4}{17}-=\frac{\text{i}}{17}$

Question 22 Marks
Show the following quadratic equation by factorization method: $x^2 - x + 1 = 0$
Answer
$x^2 - x + 1 = 0$ Now, completing the squares, we get $\Big(\text{x}+\frac{1}{2}\Big)^2+\frac{3}{4}=0$ $\Rightarrow\Big(\text{x}+\frac{1}{2}\Big)^2-\Big(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\text{i}\Big)^2=0$ $\Rightarrow\Big(\text{x}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\text{i}\Big)\Big(\text{x}+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{3 }}{2}\text{i}\Big)=0$ $\Rightarrow\Big(\text{x}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\text{i}\Big)=0\ \text{or } \Big(\text{x}+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\text{i}\Big)=0$ $\therefore\text{x}=\frac{-1}{2}+\frac{-1}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\text{ i},\frac{-1}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\text{ i}$

Question 52 Marks
Show the following quadratic equation:$(2 + i) x^2 - (5 - i) x + 2 (1 - i) = 0$
Answer
$\begin{aligned} & (2+i) x^2-(5-i) x+2(1-i)=0 \Rightarrow(2+i) x^2-2 x-(3-i) x+2(1-i)=0 \Rightarrow x[2+i x-2]-(1-i)[(2+i) x-2]=0 \Rightarrow[x \\ & -(1-i)][(2+i) x-2]=0 \text { Either }[x-(1-i)]=0 \text { or }[(2+i) x-2]=0 \Rightarrow x=1-i \text { or } x=\frac{2}{2+i}\end{aligned}$ $\Rightarrow\text{x}=1-\text{i}\text{ or }\text{x}=\frac{2\times2-\text{i}}{(2+\text{i})(2-\text{i})}$
$\text{x}=\frac{4-2\text{i}}{4+1}=\frac{4}{5}-\frac{2}{5}\text{i}$ Thus $\text{x}=1-\text{i},\frac{4}{5}-\frac{2}{5}\text{i}$
