Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 10th Maths Solutions Chapter 3 Algebra Ex 3.11
Question 1.
Solve the following quadratic equations by completing the square method
(i) 9x2 – 12x + 4 = 0
Answer:
9x2 – 12x + 4 = 0
x2 – \(\frac { 12x }{ 9 } \) + \(\frac { 4 }{ 9 } \) = 0 (Divided by 9)
x2 – \(\frac { 4x }{ 3 } \) = \(\frac { -4 }{ 9 } \)
Add [\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) (\(\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \))]2 on both sides
The solution is \(\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \)
(ii) \(\frac { 5x+7 }{ x-1 } \) = 3x + 2
Answer:
(3x + 2) (x – 1) = 5x + 7
3x2 – 3x + 2x – 2 = 5x + 7 ⇒ 3x2 – x – 5x – 2 – 7 = 0
3x2 – 6x – 9 = 0 ⇒ x2 – 2x – 3 = 0 (divided by 3)
x2 – 2x = 3
Adding (\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) × 2)2 on both sides
x2 – 2x + 1 = 3 + 1
(x – 1)2 = 4 ⇒ x – 1 = \(\sqrt { 4 }\)
x – 1 = ±2
x – 1 = 2 or x – 1 = -2
x = 3 or x = -1
The solution set is -1 and 3
Question 2.
Solve the following quadratic equations by formula method
(i) 2x2 – 5x + 2 = 0
Answer:
a = 2, b = -5, c = 2
The solution set is \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) and 2
(ii) \(\sqrt { 2 }\) f2 – 6 f + 3 \(\sqrt { 2 }\) = 0
Answer:
Here a = \(\sqrt { 2 }\), b = -6 and c = 3\(\sqrt { 2 }\)
The solution set is \(\frac{3+\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}}\) and \(\frac{3-\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}}\)
(iii) 3y2 – 20y – 23 = 0
Answer:
a = 3, b = -20, c = -23
The solution set is -1 and \(\frac { 23 }{ 3 } \)
(iv) 36y2 – 12ay + (a2 – b2) = 0
Answer:
Here a = 36, b = -12a, c = a2 – b2
The solution set is \(\frac { (a+b) }{ 6 } \) and \(\frac { (a-b) }{ 6 } \)
Question 3.
A ball rolls down a slope and travels a distance d = t2 – 0.75t feet in t seconds. Find the time when the distance travelled by the ball is 11.25 feet.
Answer:
Distance = t2 – 0.75t
11.25 = t2 – 0.75t
Multiply by 100
1125 = 100t2 – 75t
100t2 – 75t – 1125 = 0 (Divided by 25)
4t2 – 3t – 45 = 0
a = 4,
b = -3,
c = -45
(time will not be negative)
The required time = \(\frac { 15 }{ 4 } \) seconds
= 3 \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 } \) second or 3.75 seconds
