Question 12 Marks
Show the following quadratic equation by factorization method:
17x2 - 8x + 1 = 0
Answer
17x2 - 8x + 1 = 0
We will apply discriminant rule,
$\text{x}=\frac{-\text{b}\pm\sqrt{\text{D}}}{2\text{a}}\ ...(\text{A})$
Where D = b2 - 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:
x2 - x + 1 = 0
Answer
x2 - 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 32 Marks
Show the following quadratic equation by factorization method:
$\text{x}^2-(2\sqrt{3}+3\text{i}))\text{x}+6\sqrt{3}\text{ i}=0$
Answer
$\text{x}^2-(2\sqrt{3}+3\text{i}))\text{x}+6\sqrt{3}\text{ i}=0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2-2\sqrt{3\text{x}}-3\text{ix}+6\sqrt{3}\text{i}=0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}(\text{x}-2\sqrt{3})-3\text{i}(\text{x}-2\sqrt{3})=0$
$\Rightarrow(\text{x}-3\text{i})(\text{x}-2\sqrt{3})=0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=3\text,2\sqrt{3}$

Question 42 Marks
Show the following quadratic equation:

(2 + i) x2 - (5 - i) x + 2 (1 - i) = 0

Answer
(2 + i) x2 - (5 - i) x + 2 (1 - i) = 0
⇒ (2 + i) x2 - 2x - (3 - i) x + 2 (1 - i) = 0
⇒ x [2 + ix - 2] - (1 - i) [(2 + i) x - 2] = 0
⇒ [x - (1 - i)] [(2 + i) x - 2] = 0
Either [x - (1 - i)] = 0 or [(2 + i) x - 2] = 0
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=1- \text{i }\text{ or }\text{x}=\frac{2}{2+\text{i}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=1-\text{i}\text{ or }\text{x}=\frac{2\times2-\text{i}}{(2+\text{i})(2-\text{i})}$
$\text{x}=\frac{4-2\text{i}}{4+1}=\frac{4}{5}-\frac{2}{5}\text{i}$
Thus
$\text{x}=1-\text{i},\frac{4}{5}-\frac{2}{5}\text{i}$

Question 52 Marks
Show the following quadratic equation by factorization method:
5x2 + 6x + 2 = 0
Answer
5x2 + 6x + 2 = 0

From (A)
$\text{x}=-\frac{(-4)\pm\sqrt{-12}}{2}$
$=\frac{4\pm2\sqrt{3}\text{i}}{2}$
$=2\pm\sqrt{3}\text{i}$
$\therefore\text{x}=2+\sqrt{3}\text{i},2-\sqrt{3}\text{i}$

Question 212 Marks
Show the following quadratic equation by factorization method:
21x2 + 9x + 1 = 0
Answer
21x2 + 9x + 1 = 0
Comparing the given equation with the general form
ax2 + bx + c = 0, we get a = 21, b = 9, c = 1
Substituting a and b in,
$\alpha=\frac{-\text{b}+\sqrt{\text{b}^2-4\text{ac}}}{2\text{a}}$ and $\beta=\frac{-\text{b}-\sqrt{\text{b}^2-4\text{ac}}}{2\text{a}}$
$\alpha=\frac{-9+\sqrt{81+84}}{42}$ and $\beta=\frac{-9-\sqrt{81-84}}{42}$
$\Rightarrow\alpha=\frac{-9+\sqrt{-3}}{42}$ and $\beta=\frac{-9-\sqrt{-3}}{42}$
$\Rightarrow\alpha=\frac{-9+\text{i}\sqrt{3}}{42}$ and $\beta=\frac{-9-\text{i}\sqrt{3}}{42}$
The roots are $\text{x}=\frac{-9}{42}\pm\frac{\text{i}\sqrt{3}}{42}$
