Reprsent the following situations in the form of quadratic equations :
The product of two consecutive positive integers is 306. We need to find the integers.
Reprsent the following situations in the form of quadratic equations :
The product of two consecutive positive integers is 306. We need to find the integers.
Let one positive integer be x’.
The Next integer is (x + 1)
Their product is 306.
∴ x (x + 1) = 306
x2 + x = 306
∴ x2 + x – 306= 0.
This is required equation.
Now, we have to solve for positive integer.
x2 + x – 306 = 0
x2 + 18x – 17x – 306 = 0
x(x + 18) – 17(x + 18) = 0
(x + 18) (x – 17) = 0
If x + 18 = 0, then x = -18
If x – 17 = 0, then x = 17
∴ x = 18, OR x = 17.
Reprsent the following situations in the form of quadratic equations :
Rohan’s mother is 26 years older than him. The product of their ages (in years) 3 years from now will be 360. We would like to find Rohan’s present age.
Reprsent the following situations in the form of quadratic equations :
Rohan’s mother is 26 years older than him. The product of their ages (in years) 3 years from now will be 360. We would like to find Rohan’s present age.
Let the present age of Rohan be ‘x’, then His mother’s age will be (x + 26)
After 3 years, Age of Rohan is (x + 3).
After 3 years his mother’s age will be
= (x + 26 + 3) = (x + 29)
Then product of their ages is 360.
∴ (x + 3) (x + 29) = 360
x2 + 29x + 3x + 87 = 360
x2 + 32x + 87 = 360
x2 + 32x + 87 – 360 = 0
x2 + 32x – 273 = 0.
This is required equation.
Now, we have to solve for the value of ‘x’:
x2 + 32x – 273 = 0
x2 + 39x – 7x – 273 = 0
x(x + 39) – 7(x + 39) = 0
(x + 39) (x – 6) = 0
If x + 39 = 0, then x = -39
If x – 6 = 0, then x = 7
Present age of Rohan’s mother
= x + 26
= 7 + 26 = 33 years.
Let the breadth of rectangular plot (b) be ’x’ m.
Then the length of th plot is one more than twice its breadth,
∴ Length (l)= 2x + 1 m.
But Length × Breadth = Area of rectangle l × b = A
∴ x × (2x + 1) = 528 sq.m.
2x2 + x = 528
∴ 2x2 + x – 528 = 0 is the required equation.
Now, we have to find out the value of ‘x’ :
2x2 + x – 528 = 0
2x2 – 32x + 33x – 528 = 0
2x(x – 16) + 33(x – 16) = 0
(x – 16) (2x + 33) = 0
If x – 16 = 0, then x = 16
If 2x + 33 = 0, then x = -33/2
∴ Breadth (b) = 16 m.
Length (l) = (2x + 1) = 2(16) + 1 = 32 + 1 = 33m
∴ Length (l) = 33 m
Breadth (b) = 16 m.
