## 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
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
(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
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
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
a = 3, b = -20, c = -23

The solution set is -1 and $$\frac { 23 }{ 3 }$$

(iv) 36y2 – 12ay + (a2 – b2) = 0
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.
The required time = $$\frac { 15 }{ 4 }$$ seconds
= 3 $$\frac { 3 }{ 4 }$$ second or 3.75 seconds
